The summer of 2001 we enjoyed a couple of parks: Worlds of Fun and Penguin Park. Today we take a look at one of the outings at Penguin Park. These pictures come as scans from actual prints, some of which had odd exposures and color bands.

Of Wealth and Fairness
I've been contemplating the greatness of the wealth we live in, along with the complaints of poverty. I've also been contemplating the complaints about fairness. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. The rich don't pay their fair share. Yet, when I look at the wealth around me, all I see is the … Continue reading Of Wealth and Fairness
Summer Plans change
Today's post is late and short. Seems the class I'd planned on taking this summer -- Digital Storytelling -- is being canceled. No idea if it was because of low attendance, or because of a change in the teacher's schedule. I was really excited about this class, the one elective choice that really gave me … Continue reading Summer Plans change
#82: God Be with You
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 God be with you till we meet again, By His counsel guide, uphold you, With His sheep securely fold you -- God be with you till we meet again. CHORUS Till we meet, till we meet, Till … Continue reading #82: God Be with You
A Blast of the Past #42:Fourth Birthday
One of the things from my own youth was a Betty Crocker cookbook for children. It had a macaroni and cheese with hot dogs recipe, and it had a castle cake that we made once for a birthday. With that memory in mind, I resurrected the plan for by daughter's fourth birthday. Only this time … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #42:Fourth Birthday
A Blast of the Past #41: First Christmas in First House
If you look at things the right way, there are a lot of firsts in life. As a side joke, I'll mention Jonas Quinn from Stargate: SG-1 who always smiled at everything because it was his first time. One time he was captured by the Goa'uld with his team, and they asked him why he … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #41: First Christmas in First House
Songflower concert Sunday, April 3
Today's post is a promo for the singing group I'm newly joined. Sunday is my first concert with the group. I got recruited because of my experience with Madrigals -- the concert is one of Jazz and Madrigals. It is a wonderfully eclectic mix of some of the hottest sets both old and new. See … Continue reading Songflower concert Sunday, April 3
Easter Egg Bonanza
Here is a set of eggs colored and drawn by my daughter this year. The figures are Armless Bipedal Cycloptic Demons, or ABCDs. The ABCDs were created initially as part of an online project by the Talkhaus online gaming community for an event they titled A Super Mario Things (ASMT for short). Carly drew several of … Continue reading Easter Egg Bonanza
The Lord Is Risen!
HE IS RISEN INDEED! Such is the traditional Easter Greeting. Today being Easter, I am taking some time off from my journey through the Hymnbook feature to put up some Easter-themed music. The first clip is actually from our Maundy Thursday church cantata. My son is the narrator, and the choir sings under the direction … Continue reading The Lord Is Risen!
Miracle on 34th Street
The day before Easter seems an odd time to do a post on a Christmas movie. But this is the time the DVD came from the library from my hold request I put in back in November. Unfortunately, or so I thought at first, it turned out to be the 1994 remake and not the original … Continue reading Miracle on 34th Street
