Lots of ladder there I don’t need.

Note to self: next time you buy a ladder take better measurements for what you need. It would be a lot easier to manipulate something shorter than 28 feet.

But I sure do have a manly ladder.

Family 8mm Films From the 1960’s

These videos were transferred from 8mm reels my mom gave me a few years ago. They’ve been digitized for a while, but I just had reason to reference them and figured somebody else out there might find them interesting. The captions are what my mom wrote for each video.

The Annibirthaversary Farewell Cake

I present the most awesome cake my wife has ever made, the Annibirthaversary Farewell Cake.

We have a lot of events that occur around the same time of year, and this just happened to coincide with one grandparent being in town for a week and a couple of other grandparents about to leave town for the winter. It sounded like a great excuse for a big family party, so that’s what we did.

We celebrated:

  • Violet turning 1 on October 11th.
  • Gillian turning 4 on October 13th.
  • Neil turning 6 on September 10th.
  • Calvin turning 16 on October 15th.
  • Terry turning 41 on October 1st.
  • Grandma Ann turning 72 on August 20th.
  • Steve & Terry’s 12th anniversary on September 30th.
  • Grandpa David and Grandma Pat leaving town for the winter on September 16th.

8 events. 8 sections of cake. 1 cake of awesomeness. Click on the picture for the gallery.
