Hello Folks,

I hope you enjoy. Between late posting last week and my camera still being in the shop (I'm trying to decide whether or not to repair it), my blog may have to be extremely minimal for a week or so. I may have access to a camera. However I still need to either repair or get my own. Soooo ... I think I'll have to wait 'till I'm done getting a car to see how much I actually have.

Well gotta run!

Love in Christ,
Michael Thomas

In which we get the lowdown on the revolutionary inovative Blueberry water system developed by this man after his succesful battle with cancer. www.blueberrywater.com. What sets this system apart is the low maintance (warranty for 10 years I believe). If you do get one, please let him know I sent you ;-)

Friday we went to see the Petrofsky's end of the season performance. Whe we were waiting, I snapped this photo.

Waiting for the show to start

Since you already saw the show earlier (see the archives somwhere back there), I won't show you again. Instead I played with my different camera settings to give you an aristic interpretation of the evening

Enjoying the show

Competition
