image overload

Right now I'm into image overload. I've been working on sorting through the pictures Zoe and I took of Robyn's (our granddaughter) visit.

And there she is making one of the hardest choices an 8 year old has to make: which flavor of ice cream? I started with over 840 photos and have it rough cut to 323. Candi and Katie took a few but most were taken by Zoe and your humble servant. There are still a few I need to get from Robby, which should be here today. Then it's preparing them all for the website.

In one of my very first posts in this blog I offered to post pictures of how I made bread. That was August, 2000. (My, what a different world it was then!) I've been making bread for the past 35 years and I've passed the recipe off to people before and they haven't had success making it so I thought a detailed set of pictures would help. Zoe did most of the shooting and now I have 267 photos to edit into a website on making Gordy Bread™.

Yesterday evening my son Robby, and his partner Hannah, picked me up and we went up to Oak Harbor to look at a scooter.

It's a cute little thing, a 50cc Yamaha. It belongs to Zoe's hairdresser who moved up to a customized Harley Sportster. Robby's VW van is close to being terminal and he was looking for cheap transportation for getting to work. The little Yamaha only has a top speed of 35mph but that's not a problem on the back roads of Whidbey Island.

It was easy to lift up into the back of a pickup truck and we were on our way.
