• Very little going on

  A late update on my brotherinlaw Dan.  Dan has not bounced back completely after his fall but he is improved and gone back to work.  In the 8 worst weeks he lost 70 plus pounds.  It isn’t a good way to lose weight.  He is eating but not at all like he did and maybe that’s a good thing.  Anyway, we are all greatly relieved for his recovery all thanks to pray, I think.  Thanks once again to everyone who remembered him.

  As for me/us, there isn’t a lot to talk about.  Just the usual aches and pains of growing older so very boring stuff.  I will share some images of a beautiful day.  I took them this past Tuesday, April 22, 2008.  The day was lovely and we had to be out.  As usual my camera was with us and I snapped away as we drove.  The sky was very blue with white billowy clouds and sunshine with everything looking new after a late Spring.  All images were taken from inside the car and are typical of any drive you might take through any business district.  None were pristine so I got in some practice with Paint Shop Pro on these shots I am displaying. 

  

  All of my images were taken on the way home from our appointments.  The day had changed from nice to OUTSTANDING.  From childhood I have been drawn to clouds so I always notice their various shapes and temperaments and these clouds jumped out to me as they were so white and billowy with a blue sky that took my breath away.  Notice also the Dandelions in the center.  They are always such happy little floral faces.  They continue to survive all the human abuses heaped on them sprouting prolifically every Spring. 

   

  

  This photo was taken as we dropped over the hill from the expressway.  Our home is exactly 3 miles from this spot and I know this looks pretty much a business district but Loveland is actually a very small town. 

   

  

  Even the gas station has photo appeal when the backdrop is a beautiful sky.

   

  

  The main thoroughfare coming into Loveland has a number of business located on the side of the drive.  I am not sure what this business is or does but it made an interesting photo.  I have an interest in big equipment used in business for construction to the smaller moving pallets.  Back Hoes and Cranes and diggers are enticement to be clicking away with the camera. 

   

  

  This is our local Mexican Restaurant.  It truly is Mexican as most of the help speaks no English.  That may be a clue for ???  Anyway, the food is good and not expensive.  

   

  

  One of my favorite fast foods is fried Chicken.  Famous Recipe is my favorite and here it sits at the end of my street EMPTY after a short and obviously non lucrative stint in our little town.  Now, if we want Famous Recipe Fried Chicken, we have to travel a good twenty miles to get it.  We make the trip including other things on the way like a detailed car wash and the dealership  for regular car upkeep.  This means we get fried chicken about every 6,000 miles. 

  Enough for now, I need to conserve for my next burst of energy.

  Until the next time, be well everyone.
