Ethan and Rebecca asked me to take their engagement photos. Honestly, this was a daunting task, having absolutely no confidence in myself as a photographer. However, it's been great fun, and I think we got a few "keepers" in the mix. We worked through rain, heat and (tomorrow) we're taking pics at Rebecca's dad's dairy farm. I can't publish their favorites (as they might use them), but here a few sneak peeks...

Too, the TV didn't fit in the entertainment center from Germany. John, wanting bigger and better, hadn't considered that the space is only 40" wide. For the past five years, I have been nagged by 6" of overhang on both sides of the TV stand. I went to Lowe's to price blinds. $1,043 for five blinds, and that was at 20% off.

It just needed a quiet, dark place to retire. Glo's bedroom. Her TV was a relic from the paleoneoneand...
