My Laptop and Facebook

I do love my laptop.  I like the portability of it. I can take it anywhere in the house, out on the deck... and still be online.  I've enjoyed the social networking of Facebook and that's why I took this picture.  It's been fun to reconnect with old friends and family. But I never thought that fb would be the instrument to bring a couple of old Pen Pals back together again! When I was in the 4th grade, Mrs. Cottle, my favorite teacher of all time, held up an envelope which contained a letter from a girl in Texas, asking for someone to be her pen pal.  I quickly raised my hand and, because her name was "Jane Brown," and mine was Jayna Bryan...my teacher thought we were a match.  That was the beginning of a long friendship across the miles.  We met a couple of times over the years, and I even saw her married in the Salt Lake Temple.  Then, for some reason, we lost touch.  I could not find her anywere, and my letters were returned.  We had not communicated for probably 20 years. A couple of months ago Jane found me on facebook. 

A Saturday Evening

I took a quick evening drive and was struck by the different types of clouds in the sky, depending on which direction I was looking. The picture above is to the east, catching the sunset reflection.  The photo below is looking west. I was standing in the same area for both photos.

Here's Looking at Ewe

I took a drive during my lunch hour and stopped to look at these sheep.  After taking the picture, I noticed the wonderful old barn and antique truck up the hill.

Marvin's Gardens

No, it's not Monolopy.  It's Marvin's garden in South Weber.  I used to work for him in the early morning summer hours, picking blackberries and boysenberries. This chair sits in his front yard, and anyone can stop, put a couple of quarters in the can and and take home the best tomoates in the world.

Drilling for...

Here's proof that I do know how to use a drill.  I'm not very good, but I did put up all the runners in the two tall cabinets by myself.

Kid's Feet

I do love photographing kids feet.  It's always a challenge, since kids are rarely still. 

Rain and Hail and Snow and...

I was surprised to find hail on the deck this morning. The raindrops and hail were fun to see on the lawn chairs.
