At Random

I never thought I would be able to say this, but we really do need to take more pictures...
Here are a couple that we have snapped of ordinary life over the last month or two.
My canning pumpkin experience. This was all from one pumpkin. It managed to fill 18ish pints. And the seeds were yum baked in the oven with a couple of different seasonings.

Broom attack. It really needs to be brought out more often....

On location for shooting engagement pics for a couple. It was so cooooold that day! We always get to the location with enough time to check out lighting and different places for pics.

The church has started a 'girls club' every other week. We make a craft or bake and then we have little topic/discussion. If there is extra time, we even play a game. It has been very encouraging....to me at least! (here we were making photo album covers)

This is 'out back', down the stairs, in places mysterious and unknown. Haha! We have a little storage/basement area where we can keep a few things. It is more or less a lean to. Bert is covering up the places were the snow would blow in. I, of course, was limited in the help I was offering at that moment.

See, all neat and tidy!

Hot Tuna


Ok, Bert was laughing cause it was the logo for Hot Tuna, a Aussie classic surf supplier.

They opened the business in the 1960's and were pretty well know in the hard core surf crowd in Australia, but it was never as well know internationally as names like Quicksilver and Rip Curl. Business apparently was booming for Hot Tuna in the '80s when Bert was out surfing.

We popped into a surf shop to see if they had a bumper sticker (cause I thought the fish was so cute, haha). The guy at the counter looked up at Bert, "Old school, huh?"

Nothing like reminding somebody they aren't in their teens anymore!

Here are a couple of pics from the 'old school' surfie.



Wind surfing....


Skimboarding when he was younger...



Most resent pictures of 'old school surfie' .... (above at Waitpinga, South Australia coming in from what I the newbie surfie would classify as terrifying waves:)

And here out in California (Oceanside I think)....
