Okay, you want to see the rest of the gang, here they are, also captured at a visit to friends' house last week.

Vicki enjoys a light moment with Joel and Micah.

Went to visit some friends last week and I took some shots around. Enlarged this one, of my favorite little gal.

Leila thinks I'm taking a picture of someone else -- and I
did, but she got included, too.

This verse appeared today in the right column: PROV 15:33 "The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor." In my experience, sometimes it's not only humility, but humiliation.

When the detergent smell got too strong, I hied to the Burle Marx (no kin to Karl) City Park with my notebook and Bible and jotted down some ideas, plans, course corrections. The park had been the residence of a turn-of-the-century factory owner. Burle Marx was the grounds designer. Tells you who gets remembered with the honor. Marx was a great paisagista. (How do you say that in English? Landscapist?) So I enjoyed the grounds, the lake, the quiet in the middle of the city, and even the shenanigans of three adolescents on benches down below me.

Here's a page about the park (you can look at the pictures). And check the two images panoramic images. Quite nice.

In case you're thinking of Christmas. And I'm just getting started. ;-)
