January

Worked with some less than perfect photos today but fun nonetheless.

Wawel Castle

The grounds of this castle in Krakow has a bronze statue of a dragon. Christine thinks she took a picture of it but it's not in the photos I have. Sure hope she goes back again and takes another for me.

Ferrari (as in a red car!)

This is the second year that the architects have given Homer an amaryllis bulb for Christmas.

The newest cousin

Introducing Aveline Simone Whitlock. She is 8 weeks old and was introduced to Papa on his birthday last Tuesday.

96 Years Young

It was a very nice celebration of Papa's 96th birthday. He could make it to 100 at the rate he is going.

Inauguration 2009

I had to commemorate this historical event with a page. The pictures were taken of the big TV downstairs. Not great but enough to remember it for myself.

Big Snow

We has us a significant snowstorm yesterday. I had to work and around 3PM, I told the pharmasist that I'd better get home before I ended up in a ditch. We had a foot already and it was still snowing. I had to shovel my car out of the parking lot. This morning it's beautiful so of course I took pictures. Enjoy the page.

Marsha's Big Birthday

Marsha sent a few pictures of the big event so of course they have to end up on this blog for all to view. Looks like she was enjoying the whole celebration.

Rail Journey

I exaggerated the picture of the railroad tracks. It just seemed right.

Christmas in Krakow

I love these manger scenes from an annual contest in Krakow. They are so elaborate! And the colors are so bright and cheerful.

Scenes from Wroclaw, Poland

These two pages were fun to make. I experimented with Virtual Photographer to get the old yellowed newspaper look to modern photos. Since both pages have statues of sorts in them I thought they'd go together after a fashion. I wonder if anyone besides Christine and I enjoy these pages. I'd love to put them in a book someday.

Narrow streets and stairways

I've been playing some more with Christine's photos. Today I worked with architectural pictures and scenes. These two pages seem to go together well. Enjoy!

Cesky Krumlov again

Here are two more pages with Christine's pictures from the Czech Republic.

The Disappearing French Fry

I took these pictures of Aaron while we were waiting for the hockey game to begin. This page sort of made itself when I saw the 4 pictures of him.

Tiny Train Stations

Here is another page with Christine's photos and her own words.

Cesky Krumlov

This may look like a strange title to some of you. I am making some pages using Christine's pictures from her travels this past summer in the Czech Republic. I will eventually do some from Istanbul and other exotic places that she has given me the pictures.
Dave and Den, remember your grandmother on Chuck's side of the family was from Czechoslovakia. Maybe she was from one of the places Christine visited. Wish your father knew the name of the town where she grew up. Enjoy the pages anyway.

Together again

Den sent these two pictures and I had to scrap them right away.
