The New Deck

The deck project has begun. We have wanted to enlarge the existing deck for a couple of years now. I think is it actually going to happen now. Brian got the posts set tonight.

Flood

Stormy, stormy night. Thunderstorms, lightning strikes, hail, tornados and flooding, all in the matter of about 45 minutes.

This is the corner at our house. Usually there is a sidewalk between the tree and stop sign. The water came up very fast but it also went down fast. Made for a very eventful night.

Blake - Soccer

Saturday at the soccer park in Gardner. Blake and Grace both play. We really enjoy watching them play but 8:00 and 9:00 AM is a little early for a Sat.

I know it probably looks like I have dropped the ball on my 365 project, but, I haven't missed a day taking the pictures but got really behind on posting them. Hopefully won't get this behind again. The picture taking is the easy part, keeping up on posting is the hard part.

Kelley and Her Milkshake

Brad and Kelley came up to pack Katie and move her from MNU back home for the summer. We met them for dinner at Red Robin. Kelley and I shared the new salted caramel milkshake. Good choice.

Fresh Corn-on-the-Cob

This is our 2nd batch of home grown corn-on-the-cob from Hy-Vee. Both batches have been so good. I'm sure there will be many more meals with fresh corn. One of the great things about summer.

Jack-in-the-Box

The new Jack-in-the-Box opened Monday on 119th. We have never had these around here so this is something new for us. We tried it out for dinner tonight.  It was okay, just another fast food hamburger joint.

Gage's Tear

Okay, I have made it one whole week without taking my 50mm lens off. Can't really say that I am getting any better with it but at least I am still using it.

Did okay with capturing Gage (he was actually still for 30 seconds), his eyes and the lone tear. I had accidentally scratched him on his cheek and he cried for a little bit but got over it pretty quickly.

Pictures inside turn out a little better during daylight. Most of the ones I have tried have been at night with little or no light.

I am officially 1/3 way through my project with todays picture.
