I talked last week about a mid-point to the Sabbatical. Well, we celebrated it, as we said, with LibertyCon in Chattanooga. Got to see a lot of friends and make new ones and we joined our "family ". One of the things we also did was acquire art work from our friend and artist/author Cedar … Continue reading Sabbatical Update: Liberty for all

A Blast of the Past #145: Painting the Living Room
We started our house painting project back in 2012, it seems, with the first two walls of the living room. A wall a year was the plan, though we sped up at points since then.
Sabbatical Update: Launch to LibertyCon
Well, The Sabbatical is reaching a mid-point. No, we are still way before the quantitative half point. But we have reached a point where certain things are wrapping, and already the conclusion needs to be given serious consideration. The house has been put into shape, but the end clean-up still needs to be done. All … Continue reading Sabbatical Update: Launch to LibertyCon
A Blast of the Past #144: Church Picnic
Our Friends the Proctors -- missionaries at the Black Forest Academy in Germany -- visited our church picnic back in 2012.
The New Grill: A Father’s Day Event
One of the things we have been contemplating getting with all the house movements and the new deck was a grill to go with it. I didn't want anything too big, but wanted something that I could use, and hopefully I would find time to actually be home to grill. We eventually found the right … Continue reading The New Grill: A Father’s Day Event
A Blast of the Past #143: Ours, Fred and Judy
Today's blast of the past photos come from Father's Day 2012. Sort of neat to have something about Father's Day so close to Father's Day. The Avondale United Methodist Church we attend has had many musical ExtravaGANzas over the years, some of them for Father's Day. For the 2012 Father's Day Extravaganza Betsy and I … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #143: Ours, Fred and Judy
Sabbatical Update: A rash of things
The past week plus some has been a blur -- or more accurately a rash -- of things. Mostly, it has been the rash of undetermined origins, that blurred and occupied the time between work shifts. It is amazing how a severe rash can have you lying still, or in a slightly tossing state, for … Continue reading Sabbatical Update: A rash of things
A Blast of the Past #142: (The Lost Post)
Below is the blast of the past intended for a week ago Friday, but that after it was written, disappeared for all but the uploaded pictures. I don't even have the text to know exactly what I wrote. It is the second time within the past week that a post has been erased by WordPress, … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #142: (The Lost Post)
Sabbatical Update: The World Turned Upside Down
Right now I don't even know what number day today is in my self-proclaimed sabbatical year. Most of the month of May was swallowed up in changes -- not to priorities -- but to the ordered progression of how they would be done. The blog posts disappeared, my reading schedule turned upside down. I did … Continue reading Sabbatical Update: The World Turned Upside Down
A Blast of the Past #141: Outcast Hero – Marlon
And now we arrive to one of the most memorable of the birthday cakes I have made over the years. The cake of the Marlon from the still-in-production movie Outcast Hero by Gemma Bright. The kids posted pictures to Deviant Art that even got feedback (positive) from the artist herself: https://caat.deviantart.com/art/OH-Cake-279517170 And for those interested … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #141: Outcast Hero – Marlon
