This 'n That...and a Steam Engine. Or, How I Spent my Weekend

Yep, I've been busy. So busy that it slipped my mind that I've been blogging for just over a year now. Yep, since April 15, of last year. So, Happy Anniversary to me! Now, getting back to my mindless ramblings. Had a busy weekend. Had to work, had to pay bills, still found time to chase the Scenic Railroad, Goody Two Shoes, our dog, and anything else that wondered in front of my camera...okay, I've been using Goody Two Shoes digital camera. So sue me!

What do you do when you're waiting on a train? Take pictures of something else. Like this Gypsy Moth cocoon.

Or a Dandelion.

Finally, 734 arrived. Hot dog! The season is underway.



No trip to Helmstetter's Curve is complete without a photo of the farmhouse.

After that it was on to Bob Evans so Goody Two Shoes could have her precious Strawberry Creeps. Yes, I misspelled Crepes on purpose! And all this was just on Saturday before I went to work.

Sunday was another day to chase the Scenic Railroad. No one will ever guess where this shot was taken. Giggle, giggle, giggle.

I decided to take the color out of this one and give it a sepia look. A little nostalgia now and then is a good thing.

Passing shot of the 734.

Buddy, the wondermutt. "What the #&@* was that noisy thing that just went by. And what are those little black things falling out of the sky and getting in my fur?" They would be called cinders.

This little red robin came bob-bob-bobbing along and I couldn't resist.

No, I didn't do this! I just happened to see it and couldn't resist.

A few more shots of the 734.

I like this one. Sometime here in the near future I'm gonna run this shot through photoshop and make it look fifty years old. Stay tuned....

Sunday came to a close with a photo of the Miltenberger Farm.

All-in-all, not a bad way to spend a weekend.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I got questioned the other day by someone who reads my blog. She wanted to know where I've been. Busy, I said. I'm in the middle of writing a book, and working on several other story ideas as well, so my time to post has suffered. In my spare time I've been playing on You Tube. Here's a little taste of what I've been watching.






These videos are from the Concert for George, at the Royal Albert Hall.

P.S. Say a prayer for me. I'm thinking of taking a new (different) job at the factory where I currently work. I've got my mind about 90% made up, now comes the part where I convince myself that I should 'go for it.' Ain't self doubt a killer? Anyway, thanks for playing along, and I'll see you all for Wordless Wednesday.

Back-2-Back Champions



The experts said they couldn't do it without a healthy Candice Parker. Guess what, they went and did it anyway. Know what? If you don't roll with the Lady Vols...you get rolled over!

So how do we celebrate? We sing Rocky Top, what else.


And now a few words from the boss...
