Catching Up: Into January afore February's over

Here's a couple miscellaneous photos taken in early to mid-January. Feels good, I'm only a month to six weeks behind now. Kind of looking forward to catching up to now instead of looking backwards all the time. I expect my stories and photos will be a bit different, for example tomorrow I go to a DFL convention. Don't care for politics much any more. So it might be fun to tell a story about something I used to be addicted to. Maybe I'll tell a few stories about my job with the Red Lake Indians and the extra curricular activities I do. And so it goes.

So our friends Derrick and Rachelle went away one week end in January, so we found a key under the mat after we went through the bathroom window. We sat down and made ourselves comfortable. Well, not as comfortable as home, they live in a cottage, we live in a cabin. AND, that is not a Lazy Boy.
Barbara thinks I'm funny saying we went through the bathroom window. She doesn't believe what I'm writing here. Hmph.

Didn't anybody tell her?

Didn't anybody see?

Sunday's on the phone to Monday,

Tuesday's on the phone to me.

Poor old Cinnamon was sure glad to see us. Poor puppy was starving for affection. How do you like my sweat shirt. It says Electoral College. You see I went in 2004. We made history when one of us voted for John Edwards for Prez instead of John Kerry. That never happens. Long story, maybe I'll tell some day. We got up and left when we realized they didn't have a shower.
Well, Rachelle and Derrick came home unexpectedly after we discovered they had no working shower, so we went home. But before we did, we bought twin cameras about the size of a pack of cigarettes if I recall how small that is. Hmmm, maybe smaller. A pretty cool Canon to shoot. So the first shot is of Barb taking her first shot of me.
Back in my Lazy Boy where I belong. I am looking at the photo of the photo you just saw. Isn't that weird? Taking photos of someone taking photos has always baffled me, kind of like a fun house mirrors. How many images deep could one go anyway?
Skip ahead a week or so. Here's Cynthia Ann and Barbara Ann. Married to brothers. Knew each other before we knew them. First they were friends, and now they are Sisters-in-law. Phew, I'm getting confused again.
Lining up in the kitchen. Barbara and Alex wear hats.
Johnny Jim ponders why he is so much larger than Lizette. Probably that camera stuff, or is it done with mirrors.
Now where was this person who took this photo of me. Angles, channels, views, slants, positions, perspectives, curvatures, visions. Mirrors. Cameras. Cameras have mirrors, and this Mirrors has cameras.

You're...

My Friend,

my companion,

through good times and bad

my friend, my buddy,

through happy and sad,

beside me you stand,

beside me you walk,

you're there to listen,

you're there to talk,

with happiness, with smiles,

with pain and tears,

I know you'll be there,

throughout the years!
