December 16

This is another fuzzy pic but it is a Godiva ornament. I remember well opening this gift at Johns Hopkins Hospital back in the late eighties. One of my husband's good friends had just undergone some serious surgery for a brain tumor. We stopped in after work  (I believe it was Christmas Eve) with some gifts and to spend some time. We didn't expect anything in return, but his wife was there with gifts for everyone and she did her best to bring some merriment and joy of The Lord to that little hospital room.
Tom has since gone to Heaven but we remember and value his friendship and his spirit. He was a good guy. A soldier for Christ. One of the best. A marvelous architect. A wonderful Old Mainer. An edifier. A smiler. A winner.
And while we are speaking of Heaven, Happy Birthday to my Daddy.

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching.

I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

Just a few more memories

There were a few photos that I didn't post on the entry about our trip to Boca Raton.  I'm sure I have a bunch more in various places. I figure we gained 7 pounds, 700 friends, 7,000 memories and 7,000,000 photographs. Video from Awards Night

Baseball Thoughts on a Winter Day

I can't stop thinking about baseball. I'm happy for the moment (winter and all) but it would be so nice if it were a hot August night and we were watching the O's at Camden Yards. So I made this video today. It's some O's game footage from personal photography, misc. photos (amateur baseball players), and scans of much of my Orioles memorabilia from the early eighties. I hope you enjoy it.
