May 11th ...

Today is September 28th ... so, it has been a while between blog entries. Oh, not that a few things haven't happened.

Enjoyed a wonderful trip to see Jonathan and Summer -- and Emerald, Penelope, and Anna in North Carolina. One of the best memories I have ... We had an absolutely lovely time.

Found out I had Diabetes-II and have been working on that to get blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, eyesight, etc. -- within normal ranges. (Thanks to modern medicine and a somewhat altered diet that has been happening. Thankfully).

Enjoyed a very hot summer... well, kinda. Actually, I prefer cold and rainy. That's why we live in the Great North-Wet.

Went to Vegas to shoot wedding photos for Shavonne and Joshua. Also enjoyed shooting wedding photos for Leesa and Kevin in Portland and here. We had fun shooting the temple wedding for Heidi Vance and her husband Tyler Anderson. And, we just did a wonderful wedding last week with Liz and Will at the Rose Garden at Point Defiance Park and over at the Union Station with all the beautiful Chihuly glasswork there.

I bought some new lenses and camera this year and I think the results are amazing. May have to post a few here so you can see them.

Have enjoyed the fair this year. I am about "sconed" out. We bought a pass so we can go anytime we want. May have to make a stop this afternoon to say "good-bye". LOL!

Work has been good at West Coast Entertainment. Thankfully, people are still partying and calling us.

I have been working as an "ambassador" with the Tacoma Chamber. That gives me some community exposure and satisfies my need to be involved in something other than self. I'm going to do more of that this year.

Looking forward to Ashlyn's baptism in a few weeks and of course, the big Disneyland Trip for Jeannette's birthday on Halloween. That is going to be a kick!

OK. I'm off to shoot a family session with my good friend's daughter and her family at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma. Should be fun.
