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

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

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
