LUMINAR 4

This is an image of my ole’ Destroyer that I served aboard for 3 yrs. that was stationed in Pearl Harbor.  The picture was not taken by me.  It was shot from another destroyer, the USS Strauss.  I don’t know if I was aboard when this was taken.  Could be. Using my photo editing program,

NOT MUCH DOING HERE!

Thanks for stopping by and reading some of my blog.  With this stupid virus thing running around and a “lockdown by the Governor of PA” to stay in your homes and not to go out unless it’s really necessary is getting to be kinda boring. We are not going anywhere, so there is not that

STARTING A JOURNAL?

For a number of weeks now, I have been thinking about starting a Journal about my past, what I think, and my opinions of what’s going on in this crazy world we live in. I am a bit hesitant about doing this for the reason that I’ve never done this before.  I have noticed that

MY YEAR IN REVIEW

Happy New Year to all my faithful followers!  At the end of this year, I would like to take this time to THANK all of you for following me & my Posts.  I have always appreciated your likes and comments. Now then, I think that this is the 1st time I’ve posted an image of

MY OLD TOYBOX

Pictured above is what used to be my Toy Box that was hand made by my Grandfather & painted by my Grandmother in 1948, a year after I was born.  I had no idea who did this back then since I was only a year old.  The Pine Wood box stands about 2.5 feet high,

Now, that the Wife’s knee is healing better, I’m able to get “out there” more & more.  No longer does she need constant help to walk or do things around the house.  The 7″ incision in her right knee is looking better all the time.  By the end of this month she should be back

SURGERY!

Here I am.  The image was taken at the Grandaughters Graduation in West Virginia State University a few weeks ago. Now, on to what’s been going on here.  On the morning of June 4th, my Wife had major knee surgery to replace her bad knee on her left leg.  She had been suffering from pain

SNOW SQUALL

Yesterday morning was turning out to be a nice looking day.  Sun was out, was not windy or cloudy.  So, I thought I’d go “out there’ even though it was on the cold side with my camera and see what I could find. Had to stop over at the local Best Buy Store to see

B&W to Color

I know that I’ve posted a B&W Image before that was taken in Paris France sometime in 1944 just before my Mother & Father were married.  This is a color Image that I made using my Paint Shop Pro X9 Ultimate Program. I tried to get the color of Army Uniforms as close to the

ON THIS VETERENS DAY

Here I am!  This Image was taken in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii sometime not too long after I reported aboard my Destroyer in November of 1965.  The Image does not show that I’m half scared to death.  I’m right out of High School, in a strange place, have no idea where I’m going, or what is
