Day 361: The Original Dailylife Moment!

Monday, December 26, 2011

(I was off a day on my two Christmas posts, but I am back in sync now!) It has been a long, and very short, 27 years, since that dreary day in Germany when my darlin’ and I got hitched!  These are pages from one of my scrapbooks from Germany.  Some of the photos have […]

Day 360: Merry Christmas!

Sunday, December 25, 2011

Christmas Day started with all of the family over for breakfast. Sometimes the old toys…don’t make waiting any easier. I can’t take this stress!  My head is going to explode! Looking for the plug for the lights on the tree. Sure Dad, I’ll help you with this one! Why does he get the Talking Story […]

Day 349: A Polar Express Addendum

Saturday, December 17, 2011

One section of the Polar Express route is over a very high trestle.  With the Full Moon the shadow of the trestle, with the Polar Express on top, was very visible.  It really needed more than Dailylife Wife’s old Canon Powershot SX100IS to capture it, though.  Next time! These photos are heavily processed. They are […]

Saturday night the Dailylife Wife and I took the two grandcritters, Toots and Lugnut, to ride the Polar Express, named for the train in the film, of course.

Day 345: A Total Lunar Eclipse!

Saturday, December 10, 2011

An under-publicised Lunar Eclipse took place the morning of 10 Dec 11.  It was visible in most of the western US and Canada.  It started about 4:40am, and was total by about 7:35am.  The Moon set officially at 8:04am; Sunrise was 8:02am.  This one was different in that it happened just at Sunrise.  You didn’t […]
