I am one of those people that rush around trying to get it all done. I have always done things quickly but I try to be efficient. Continue reading →

Linda and me on our wedding day in May 1979.

Linda and me on our wedding day in May 1979.

In 1979 I was getting ready to get married. The date was set for May 4th so there was much to do at this point.

Being Jealous

Nikon_D5000I learned another great lesson the other day.
I was talking with one of the young ladies in church about using her in a photo shoot. It didn’t seem like the weather was going to cooperate so I had to try and reschedule.

My cousin, Danny, from his younger days.

Last time I introduced you to Donna, one of my first cousin’s on my dad’s side. Today I’d like to tell you about my first cousin on my mom’s side – Danny.
