Welcome to Anybody Home!

Here you will find scattered pictures from my point and shoot camera, random thoughts from my little world, treasured memories of days gone by, hopeful dreams of the days yet to come, and a bunch of ideas - because I've always got ideas!

Jonge and Famke

I really like these two. They make me tired, but it's a fun sort of tired. And, look what I learned to do! I've had this picture labeling option for nearly two years now, and just this week figured out what it's for. Actually, I'm more surprised that I can still learn new things than I am that it took me two years to it figure out. I've been married to THGGM for 30 years now, and I still do not have him figured out.


Case in point.
THGGM has recently taken up reading. Oh, he has been ABLE to read for years and years, he just hasn't had the time nor the inclination until now. So, he has read a book that I have not read, and is pushing me to 'read it now'. Excuse me? What about the 30+ years worth of books I've asked him to read?
Tonight I shall set aside my complete book of "The Borrowers" and pick up the book he recommended (demanded?) that I read.
Because I'm nice like that.
(there is a box elder bug walking across my computer screen presently. those stir up a great many memories from my childhood. if only i weren't so tired at the moment, i would tell you all about it.)

The zeal of a new convert.

LOVE the photos! It took my Dear Hubby a few years to get 'the hang' of reading books, too. He still doesn't have a lot of time to devote to it but he does enjoy reading now. He just finished the one I'm giving you a link to that maybe THGGY might enjoy, too, if he likes WWII stories. This one was written by one of the soldiers who "Band of Brothers" was based on, Don Malarkey who is from Astoria, Oregon. I'll give you the link here in case he'd be interested:

I have a cousin whose book is being published and will be out sometime this Fall. It's about his uncle who died as a POW in WWII in Germany. I can't wait to read it. I never knew Rusty had the writing bug in him 'til my cousin Ginger told me about this!

What photo editing program do you use? I need to find something new - I'm thinking Photoshop Essentials, but not sure if that's more than I need....
