It snowed on Tuesday January 28th, and it's our first snow since February 2012. This was Lee first time using her snowboard that she received as a Christmas gift in 2011. As I'm listing these dates, I can't believe it is 2014 already, time has flew by. I never knew the snow could be this… Continue reading Snow
Maple is from Kentucky and she comes to visit one of our neighbors every year, her owner is our neighbor's daughter. Bo, Lee and Max met Maple before but this is my first time meeting her. She is a Weimaraner just like max, and a bit smaller in size. She is a beauty. Maple is… Continue reading Meet Maple
Lee and I have been wanting to make homemade pizza for awhile and the first batch was awful. I think it looked more like pan pizza rather than a normal homemade pizza. We have come a long way since then, and have gotten a lot better, but I still don't know how to toss pizza… Continue reading Homemade Pizza for Dinner

She was Friday the 13th Miss Voorhees, Lee was clueless as to… Continue reading Halloween 2012
Photographing Idiom is Greek to me, but I‘m sure I‘m not the only one. We might be all in the same boat for all I know, and here is my contribution to Karma's October Photo Hunt. My first idiom is hit the hay meaning to go to bed. Back in the days mattresses used to… Continue reading October Idioms Photo Hunt
Sometimes I think my eyes are bigger than my stomach. It's nice to be able to get all the herbs and vegetables from my garden to make this dish. This is what I had for dinner this evening, nothing fancy just a basic Lao food. Tomorrow I'm going to the Apple Festival and will try… Continue reading Lao/Thai Spicy Beef
It's kind of odd to take a medical leave from blogging, and in my case it might be several weeks before I could start blogging again. It started out as I thought was a severe heart burn last year, but in reality they were gallstones attacks and the severity of it got worse. I was… Continue reading Medical Leave
Today is Lee's birthday and she was greeted at the bus stop by Bozo the clown. Some of our neighbors didn't know how to react and one lady didn't recognize who it was behind that clown outfit. I think even Max thought it was funny. Lee is testing out her new birthday gift, smile for… Continue reading A Special Birthday Guest: Bozo the clown
I’m testing out my new telephoto zoom lens and hope to put this into good use in the near future. This is slightly longer than my old lens, but a lot lighter also. It’s the EF70-200mm f/4L USM, one thing that’s missing is the IS (Image Stabilizer) which cost $600 more that I couldn't afford… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos

Jimmy Cliff - I Can See Clearly Now I almost ran over a turtle today. Why did the turtle cross the road? I guess to get to the other side, but not a wise decision during rush hour. It rained on and off all day today, and by the time I got home the sun… Continue reading Sunshine After the Rain
Updated April 25, 2010. My dad started his garden about a week ago, and he didn't finish planting everything yet, some are still sitting in his window sill. I bought him some pickle and white cucumber plants from the local nursery. He grew this from last year's crop, the Thai/Lao eggplant and he gave some… Continue reading My Dad’s Garden
