The Busiest Week Ever

by

Well, I’ve officially been overwhelmed this week with work. I try very hard to avoid working after 5 p.m., but sometimes I manage to work a little late–I tend to make up for it by working, as I am this morning, early and on the weekend. I completed a complete redesign for American Mining Insurance Company’s online newsletter,  www.americanmining.com/newsletter/, I just completed my 38th (I think) Alabama Sierra Club newsletter, I’ve just about finished an annual report for the Alabama Association of RC&D Councils, I started working on a new client website, brombergs.com and, well, I guess the list just seems to go on and on.  I’m very pleased with the masthead I created for American Mining’s online newsletter, though. We went through several revisions, but the end one really turned out best. Here it is:

Our Trip to Alaska

by

Have been wanting to scan a few of our photos in from this trip. I added an entry about our Honeymoon trip to Alaska a few months ago, but never got around to scanning in photos. I just scanned in these two this afternoon–boy was I thin! That has got to be the best hat I have ever had–and if you’ve read much of my blog, you know I have a certain interest in hats. The Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero was awesome. It kept me dry in Alaska. It kept me dry on my trip to Minnesota several years ago. I still reach for it when I think I may get wet.

Ann, of course, looks the same–a little better, actually!

Looking for Photos: Found Something I didn’t expect

by

I pulled out the photo album of our trip to Alaska to contemplate scanning in a photo or two just to put something onto the blog. Instead, I discovered 5-6 old family photos that I really don’t know how they ended up there. Here’s one of me all bundled up and working with Papa, my father.

Looks like I loved to dig and plant even back then. Good thing I was all bundled up!

A Slow Week for Blogging, a fast week for everything else

by

Update: just posted some of my favorite photos from the trip to my flickr account.

Haven’t really been doing a lot of posting this week. Have been doing a lot of work. Trying to wrap up an annual report for the Alabama Association of RC&D’s, picked up a nice new client this week, took a trip to the Black Belt to work on an Antique Trail along Highway 14–a three-day festival in the fall that I’ll be developing a website for. To many irons in the fire….

Here’s the Greene County Courthouse in downtown, Eutaw, Alabama. I do find the Veterans monuments in each county interesting–I consider the one in my home county of Marengo to be one of the better ones I’ve seen so far in my travels–but I may be a bit prejudiced. The courthouse is in disrepair and surely needs some love. More photos to come.

An Old Photo, But a Good One

We watched A Christmas Story over Christmas this year. If only that BB gun had been as cool as the one I had–inherited from my sisters. It was a pump action and it could hurl bb’s almost as hard as you could throw them. But boy was it cool. Here I am preparing for the coming invasion.
