At the end of the day…
At the end of the day I was a little bit colder! The morning was quite beautiful, and Flyer and I took a few hours away from the Haasienda to our selves. Back at home I washed dishes, cleaned the … Continue reading

A trip with Flyer…
Flyer appears physically healthy, but her mind seems clouded with confusion, and a lack of recognition. At times, she does not appear to recognize me. If this condition worsens, I will probably be forced to make a decision. This morning, … Continue reading

And the rains came to shower the seniors…
I am glad the seniors got their moment; however, it was raining pretty steady during this final time on the football field. Congratulations to all the 2012 Fairmont Marching Band seniors, and to their families!

Last home football game…
The rain has been fairly steady since 10:30am. The grey, cloudy skies have captured the 44-degree temperature in a bubble that encapsulates the Miami Valley. The weather channel indicates the rain cell will linger for quite some time. As I … Continue reading

Some time in Dayton's Oregon District
One of the neatest areas of Dayton is The Oregon District located on the Southeast corner of downtown. It is much like being in The Village of New York City with some of its eateries and unique shops. Behind the main pass-thru is … Continue reading

A Sunday morning at Carriage Hill Farm
I had driven through Carriage Hill Farm Park once, but had never stopped. This morning, after leaving Charleston Falls, I headed a few minutes over to this park. A beautifully maintained farm from the 1800’s.

A Sunday morning at Charleston Falls
This morning I left the house a little after 9:00am, and drove about 15 miles to Charleston Falls, just north of Dayton and Huber Heights off highway 202. Very nice scenery, but the falls was barely a trickle.

A Beautiful Fall Day…
What a grand afternoon! Quintin and I left the house at 11:00am for downtown Dayton. Stopped at a music store we seldom frequent to get some guitar strings, and then on to our familiar no-school day haunt – the Chinese … Continue reading

Quintin broke his glasses, and I decided to walk the 5-6 blocks to the optometrist’s office so I could practice with the new camera. I really like having a camera where I do not have to edit photos! Really neat! … Continue reading

A fall morning in Ohio…
I missed the double rainbow that everyone else seemed to capture this morning. The sky, for a while, was a kaleidoscope of colors and textures as a divided rain cell moved in across The Miami Valley. The reds, yellows and burnt-oranges are … Continue reading
