Playing catch up

WOW!  I now realize how fast time in moving on in my life.  It's been several weeks since posting to this blog, and it's time to play catch up.  The last posting was on Nov 22nd, so I think it best if I start with the most current subjects/events and work my way back to the the 22nd. as best as I can remember...barring any senior moments.

3.  My excuse for not posting during the weekend of December 4-6 was due to my birthday and wedding anniversary.  That's my story and I"m sticking to it.
4.  Early birthday gifts of a new camera, lenses, and printer have taken up most of my time for the past couple of weeks, which takes me back to Thanksgiving and the November 22nd posting.
​This post in long enough so, I'll be posting about the new equipment, etc, in the next few days.
