Unexplained !

My daughter Deb is a twin. Sadly her sister Susan was only here for a few hours.

Katy (Katama) was Deb’s first Boykin Spaniel. She was the first dog to go on vacation with Deb and me, no big surprise that it was to MV. Katy left us after 20 months and we feel that she’s now with Susan.

Chappy (Chappaquiddick) was Deb’s next Boykin Spaniel.

My creation

We took lots of pictures of Chappy’s first trip to the Vineyard, especially on the beach and in the water. He really enjoyed splashing about and barking at waves. These pictures show a little of his fun at the beach.

And then there’s this picture:

Is this a double exposure, or is it Deb and Chappy with Susan and Katy ? You be the judge.  Just let me say that my camera, not a digital one, had never, until that day, taken a double exposure and never did so afterwards.

Happy Halloween !!!

Remember Memorial Day …

Memorial Day  began in 1868 and was originally called Decoration Day, a day to remember the men and women in our armed forces who had lost their lives while in military service.  Memorial Day was originally observed on May 30th until 1968 when, under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act  the date was changed to the last Monday in May to create a 3 day holiday for federal employees.

Let’s take a moment to remember the original reason for Memorial Day.

Have a great Memorial Day and enjoy the weekend.

House’s House

I'm always impressed by gingerbread houses. Every year around the holidays, images of amazingly detailed masterpieces start doing the rounds. I don't have much in the way of architectural or construction skills, so something like that is well beyond my...
