Merry Christmas Card


Here is the photo we are using for our 2009 Christmas Card. It is one that Bob did in Susan Herron's class. Merry Christmas everybody.

Long time no blog

What good is a stale blog? Bob and I had a wonderful thanksgiving with the Fuller clan at Gayle's house. Lots to eat and then we wrapped presents for the stocking and sweatshirt projects at church. Our church prepares 400 stockings and lots and lots of sweatshirts for children with parents who are incarcerated in PG County.

Bob and I went to the Corcoran Gallery of Art to see John Singer Sargent's "Sargent and the See." It was a nice exhibit, but the one that really got to us was Edward Burtynsky's Oil exhibition of photographs documenting the production, distribution, uses and end of oil. It was powerful and evoked a lot of emotion in me. There were photographs of acres and acres of carcasses of planes, cars, engines, tires, oil barrels and tankers.
