Some general misc. stuff ...

Life in the fishbowl of the blog-o-world



Enjoying the hospitality of the Hammett family

Oddly enough, this was the only person I got a shot of ... which is probably fine since us adults just sat around talking. Nothing wrong with that of course, it's just not the most photographic experience.

Perks

I think I found myself a new employee

The baby shower ... or a trip to Battleship Cove

With far t0o many ladies crowding around my wife all determined that "she's gonna have a boy because she's carrying high" "No!", cried another, "obviously a girl, she's carrying high", it was clear that it was time for us men to escape to safety ...

Micaiah, moments before the sickness struck

Examining a Japanese suicide torpedo. Definitely one of those missions you don't get a second shot at ...

Something so fascinating about boats ... everything is purposeful, yet somehow striking and artsy


Exploring one of the gun rooms

With modern technology doing all but sneezing for us, I'm always amazed at how they did things in the ancient days of gears and mathematics

Mr. Albano also amazed


Art

Gnomes



"Hold that shot! Let me check this baby out"



The brute squad ... less the brute

Challenging our manly skills (why is Jeff ALWAYS better at these things)

"Land Ho!"


Poor little guy! I can only imagine it's face when that thing blows.

A stole away

Attending to his duties


My siblings and their Blackwater commander

Security budget is limited, so I guess these guys will do

With flu vaccinations almost certainly going to run out, why not ... make your own?

A women's concern

Friday we went to a fundraiser for A Womens Concern

A couple of our fine servers that made the night a success

Thank you sir 

Saturday morning back in action ...

Irresistible!

A visit from afar ...

New England Art

Mortons & Thomases take over the beach.

It's always great to travel with others who are equally appreciative of history

In which we stump the tour guide.

Young urchins

Not sure what it was about the grave that elicited such a cheerful response, but it sure made a great picture.

A true New England church

Me & my love

Lovin'

Parkour

Thing 1 & Thing 2 promoting the New England Fall Diet (i.e. fresh ripe apples)


This probably wouldn't make their dietary recommendations


Fellow bloggers

Ladies by the sea

Mothers. Just think, without them, there wouldn't have been ...

... all of us! (pretty impressive huh?)


Art

Nature's playground

Art

Watching the sun set

... behold it's glory!

Plymouth ... or a journey to see all four of our forefathers ...

I present to you ... the Peanut Gallery

The mob descends upon Plymouth

No matter how many times I review the hold of the ship, I can't help but wonder how the 100 folks below kept ANY semblance of sanity.

Portrait

One very interesting sailor tries to convince my father that Jesus actually grew up in England


Children, do your father's teach you about the Papal canons?

Elder Fuller is met with blank stares ...

Portrait art


Kicken' back (note ... I LOVE this bed. Just such a cozy feel)

Shooting the breeze with the locals


One absolute highlight was when we were taught a round that the pilgrims might have sung together.

Art


Remembering a time when every man's duty included defending his family

Tales of courage and faith were told

I couldn't help but but be struck by the absolute contrast of this shot. Sure makes you think ... don't it?

Babe ... you look simply smashing 

While the girls ponder the sewing side ...


... I appreciate the workshop.

Up ... up & ever higher

"How good and pleasant it is 
       when brothers live together in unity!"

Not to be outdone, I prove that big brother is STILL big brother.

Also not to be outdone.

Homeward ...


Topping off an absolutely fabulous day with a fabulous time of desert, Four-on-the-couch and some time of song & worship

Though usually a stretch for the memory, four-on-the-pouch is neigh impossible when trying to sort over 30 people's names.

Still suffering shell shock, I find solace in my instrument

Enjoying a time of praise to God

"I'm telling you, Amanda, it was THAT big!"

Sunday afternoon


As our visit draws to a close ... it is photo time

Post Feast Trauma

In which I attempt to inspire my team as we square off for the epic game.

Crushed by a mass of Georgian humanity


The word is out. Jordan's blog is up!

Thanks Jordan for the great laughs!

Don't mess with the Portagee who thinks 'es a Scott

Vying for the Presidency

Well folks, that's all for now! It's been a blast. Times like these sure keep life exciting.
