Mill Pond Falls

Hello all, it's been a while but I think the creative vibes have begun to vibrate again.  I am trying out my new video editing software so I am putting up a short film.  Let me know what you think.  Hopefully there will be much more to come.

Dish

Another fantastic birthday dinner of classic comfort food and tasty desserts at Dish. I have never eaten anything in my life quite so delicious as the cheddar strudel on the apple crisp.  I must learn how to make it!

The Sixth Anniversary of My 29th Birthday

The last few days have been a little up and down so in keeping with my brand new philosophy of faking it til I make it I am only going to focus on the fantastic family dinner I just had with some of the people I love most in the whole world.  Oh, and presents!

Rolling Along

Tonight is weigh in night so that means another exciting picture of a digital scale readout.  Oh, well, at least the number keeps going down.

 So for those of you keeping score at home that's 3.5 pounds this week for a grand total of 22.6 pounds.  I'm sneaking up on that 28 pound mark slowly but surely.

Apple Harvest (This Post Does Not Contain Pictures of Apples)

Spent some time at the Southington Apple Harvest festival with family.  My origami boxes were for sale at my Aunt Kathy's craft table but sadly I don't think too many (if any of them) went.  Anyway, here are a couple of pictures from the festival:

What the Day May Bring You

Today I went out into the world with a truly open mind.  I received a surprise refund check for 15.00 from my old therapist's office so with a spring in my step I headed to the ATM to deposit it so I could buy a bucket of Diet Pepsi and a pack of Parliament 100's.  Well that check led me to meet a fantastic man named Dominic who served in the Navy in World War II had lost his two twin brothers to cancer, was a widower after 54 years of marriage, and who has a House-like fetish for cool canes.  (He made the top of the one he was using today out of an old doorknob.)  He was also gracious enough to let me take his picture so long as I promised to mail him a copy.  Ladies and gentlemen, here's Dominic:

Mill Pond Falls

Beautiful fall day in New England and finally water flowing from the waterfall at Mill Pond Park.
