Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Just had to share my favorite photo ever of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Hope your day was as good as ours.

It’s been a few years since I’ve done any active blogging. Truth be told, after the last election, and because of the incredibly divisive nature of our current politics, I needed a bit of a break from a lot of things, this blog being one of them. Not that I was ever terribly political on here, but there was the very real danger that I’d use it to start ranting, and that is not what I want to do on this platform.
I’m a little older, maybe a smidge wiser, and I’ve recently published a second book as an indie author. So, to this blog, I return once again. I’ll be blogging about writing, the process and my progress, and publishing; about MS Excel, as I’m still primarily an Excel developer in my day-job; there will be various photos I take with my phone; there may be a haiku or three; and probably even some novel reviews. So stay tuned.
It’s good to be back.

And with a final shot of the view from our old home, thus ends this year of photos.It’s been an interesting year in many ways. There’s been a new dog and a new house, among other changes. As far as photos go, it started off strong with a picture per day. Somewhere in the middle of the year the picture per day fell apart and became more of a picture whenever I happened to have time. That’s the thing about deciding to do something every day. It takes time. Even if it’s something as simple as taking a picture with your iPhone, you still have to find time to take the picture, edit it if needed, and post it. And quite honestly, the taking can be the hardest part. Finding something interesting to frame as a photo, something different than all the pictures you’ve taken before, that can be the biggest, not to mention the best challenge.
So, with this picture, I wrap up this year of pictures. I’ll still be taking them and posting them here occasionally. But my primary place will be a public instagram account I’m creating specifically for my photos. No pictures of family, just photos I take that I want to share with you. I hope you’ll drop by and check out a few.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. -
If you’ve never seen a Christmas pyramid before, or sometimes called a Christmas carousel, then here is your first glance. They’re very cool. It’s essentially a scene, usually nativity, that’s set on a rotating platform. There is a rod that goes up through the pyramid and connects to vanes that sit above the scene. Small candles are placed around the edges and lit, and the heat from them makes the vanes turn, which in turn moves the scene. This one is my father-in-law’s. He’s had it for nearly forty years. But you can get your own if you want to spend the money. -

Santa came to the local paint your own pottery place to say hello to all the kiddies. -
This month is just blowing by. Sorry for not keeping up with a photo per day. Here is one of my daughter’s school. I love how the lines come together in this photo. -
I dunno, this seems a little sketchy…
