I recently acquired some glass plate negatives featuring James Gerling (1867-1959) and his wife Mary (1868-1950). The photos capture them having a picnic and playing music together in their parlor. James was an avid photographer.  The couple spent most of their lives in Oneonta, New York. They got married in 1893 but did not have children. He worked nearly his entire life for the railroad in Oneonta as a bookkeeper, clerk, and head clerk in the railroad office.

Some sights from our recent visit to Fremont Street, Las Vegas.

We recently went on a long weekend and visited Las Vegas. One of the places we visited was Battlefield Vegas, where you can shoot with about any weapon you could think of. I shot a WWII-era Lee-Enfield bolt-action 303 rifle and a grenade launcher. If you wanted to and won at the casino, you could pay to drive a tank over an old car!

Every time I watch a sunrise, I feel thankful.

Visited the vintage dentist office in St. Augustine, Florida.

From a recent family trip on the Disney ship Fantasy, we stopped at the Bahamas island Castaway Cove.

On a recent trip to Turkey, we were able to visit a place where they make hand-woven Turkish rugs.
