August 6, 2018
Back in April we attended the Baltimore County Fire Academy’s Family Night for our “adopted son” Anthony (he is actually our son Dylan’s best friend who has lived with us for 3 years). Anyway, last week he graduated from the academy and has been assigned to Engine House 15. We couldn’t be any prouder of Anthony. This photo was taken at his graduation. From left to right: Logan, Anthony, Dylan & Brian. These four are great friends, they hunt together, fish together and support each other no matter what. I hope the friendships continue to grow as they each embark on their own path.
Welder Up

Thought this old Dodge truck was super cool. It sits in the lot of Welder Up.

Absolutely love Mathis’s work. We wondered into a studio while in Vegas and I just fell in love with this piece.
Dale Mathis (b. 1972, Los Angeles, California) is a self-taught artist who mastered the techniques of his craft while working odd jobs until he was able to pursue artwork full time. Mathis' works are deeply personal, and many are based on particular memories from his childhood. A self-proclaimed "˜MacGyver,' Mathis' pieces combine the mechanical aspects of movement with three-dimensional sculpture and interesting lighting. Best known for creating medium-scale pieces which incorporate the working mechanics of machines such as gears and pistons, Mathis has expanded the boundaries of traditional everyday gadgets by incorporating these components into wall art and furniture such as desks. His inclusion of the parts which make up a time piece for instance, speaks not only to the fleetingness of time, but also of hopefulness, signifying that with each passing moment, hope is present. Mathis' works create a feeling of intimacy with the viewer as every viewer deals with the same constraints that time deals: death, birth and renewal.

I snapped this photo of the iconic Swarovski Crystal Swan heading back to our room late one night. I love their logo.

July 23, 2018
We have returned from Vegas but I am in a slump with posting so I will be posting 2 photos today. This is the pool at the Paris, it was very nice but with temps in the 100's the pool felt like bath water. I'll take it though if it means I'm not in the Office ;)

While in Vegas we stopped by Discovery Channel's Welder Up. These hubcaps were on the wall. If you are not into cars, here's a quick explanation of the show and the shop.

July 1, 2018
Years ago a friend of mine told me how much better farm eggs were than grocery store eggs. I didn't believe there was a difference....well let me tell you, there is! We have several corner egg stands (so to speak) within a few miles of our house. I recently found a new stand where a flat of eggs (2-1/2 doz) are $5.....can't beat that!Echallengeeggslocalfarmstandcarroll countymarylandruralrhode island red
Abandoned Rt 30
June 27, 2018
Photo #17 of this old house...it is slowly falling apart.
I started posting photos of the abandoned house in January of 2017, I posted on a regular basis and then decided I'd stop for a few months to see more dramatic change. This photo is quite different than the last and much different from first.
