Shelly > Tuesday, August 18, 2009 "Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving." -- Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Shelly > July 23, 2009 Karina -- this one's for you, my wonderful twin sister. SOOC -- Part of an extensive lighting and exposure experiment. Only Karina knows the secret formula. Our genuine sweet shots will take place on Saturday. I am SO excited and hope you are too! “One aspect of serendipity to bear in mind is that you have to be looking for something in order to find something else.” -- Lawrence Block
Shelly > July 21, 2009 New Ad Just put together my ad for the fall athletic programs. The school year will be here before we know it and I can hardly wait!. Still, I wish I could borrow someone's five or six-year old to take school-supply shopping. I sure do miss those days.
Shelly > July 5, 2009 All's Quiet on the Home Front The Fourth of July is a high-stress night for our canine friends. There's a burn ban in effect, so no roman candles, mortars or bottle-rockets this time. Still, it took us until at least 10:00 am to convince Lucy that there should be no more scary sounds for a while. Once she spotted and chased a few doves and squirrels in the backyard, though, everything was normal again. "Things are more like they are now than they have ever been." -- Gerald R. Ford US Republican politician (1913 - 2006)
Shelly > June 27, 2009 HOT ENOUGH . . . We've been breaking 100 and setting heat records for the last five days. I think we've topped 95 every day since the first week of June too. Definitely smart to curtail the outdoor activities for the most part. I tried frying an egg on the sidewalk when I was a kid, and got fussed at for making a mess and wasting the egg. Now I'm the grownup and I'm paying for the groceries. After about 30-45 minutes the egg did start firming up a bit, but it certainly wasn't anything I would have served to company. Probably should have sprayed the concrete with Pam before I started. No worries about the mess. Lucy was happy to handle cleanup. "What dreadful hot weather we have. It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance." -- Jane Austen
Shelly > June 25, 2009 "Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should just live next door and just visit now and then." -- Katharine Hepburn (1907 - 2003)
Shelly > June 24, 2009 "Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!" Matt Frewer, as Dr. Mike Stratford in "Doctor, Doctor"
Shelly > June 23, 2009 Safety or Risk? Put on your hardhat but get on with the job. While shooting a hospital groundbreaking, I had to laugh when the contractor walked up and pointed out the only slightly muddy spot on the whole site. He saw me nearly slip on some loose dirt and said he didn't want me to fall. I thought that was sweet. But seriously, do I really look that fragile? It's not as if I haven't landed on my rear end in front of a crowd before --both literally and figuratively. I'm sure it will happen again. The figurative falls hurt less and less as I get older, but the ones that find me brushing off dirt and checking for bumps, bruises, and broken bones really are a little harder to take. I suppose I'll just keep on taking my calcium because I have no plans to stop climbing up on things or lying down on the ground if it will give me a fresh creative perspective. "When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth." -- Cynthia Heimel, Playwright and Author
Shelly > June 20, 2009 Grape Creek Wedding Our weekend excursion to Fredericksburg would not have happened if my aunt and uncle hadn't celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. It was so much fun to see the relatives and friends that have woven color and character into my life over the years. After the party we stopped by a couple of wineries, a new experience for us. Our favorite was Grape Creek, where the staff was absolutely delightful -- and the wine was pretty good too. They were setting up for an evening wedding, and I couldn't resist grabbing a few images of the chairs lined up on the lawn. My prayer is that this couple, whom I have never met, will also enjoy 50 plus years of joy and health just like Aunt Peggy and Uncle Jim.
