The Lincoln Daily Cap(s) (79)

I met my newest, bestest pal today. This is Lincoln, my all-of-24-hour old grandson. He pooped twice, peed twice, and got feed once. Good to know what is going in is coming out a-ok. All is well - they go home tomorrow (Tuesday).
The Happiest of Birthdays Daily Cap(s) (78)

This is my grandson. His name is Lincoln. Today is his birthday. He and his mom and dad are doing fine. This kiddo owned the day and the hearts of everyone.

From the in-law side of the family, this is Uncle David. As of today he is 79 years, 364 days older than Lincoln...we had a party for the both them. He will own the day tomorrow for sure.

Tired of Spring Flowers yet????
The Airport Daily Cap(s) (70)
I love people watching at the airport…but please excuse the fuzzy iPhone pictures…you’ll get the idea

Taking pictures at the airport and appreciating the fact I'm not the only one that travels with more than one hat....

Taking pictures at the airport of one worker needing to escort the other with an oversized parcel....
My FD, the Internet Sensation
Go check out the FD! Tiff’s webseries acting debut is online as of this past Thursday. Episode 1 (11 more to go) introduces the cast of characters. For those of you that don’t know my “Favorite Daughter”, she’s the one in the gray sweater/gray shirt…that says “I’d rather chew glass” right at the start. And after watching, if you’re so emotionally moved and/or financially inclined, there’s their “kickstarter” page link right below the video….
Personally, I think Tiff did an outstanding job, but then what else would a “pops” say? She’s always had a natural Lucille Ball quality about her acting, as well as a Meryl Streep when it comes time for those Academy Award winning roles! What she does with this character is so completely out-of-character of her personality, I laugh to myself (and others) each time. You go ahead and just watch it…see for yourself. Go ahead…do it, I’ll wait……………
I bet cha you’re gonna agree with her old man on this one. Chip of the ol’ block that gurrrrl is, huh? (probably more likely I’m a chip off the ol’ daughter’s block…not that I live vicariously through either of my kids or anything)
Episode 1 was the group introduction, now each subsequent webisode will now focus on each character. I will keep y’all posted as each episode is released, especially the one that is the FD’s character.
EDITORIAL COMMENT: turn down the volume or use your headphones…the dialogue is street-worthy and the language is colorful.
The Maybe Daily Cap (51)

32 years ago I started singing "You Are My Sunshine" to my baby girl. Whenever she would fuss, I would sing. And miraculously she would stop...most likely from disbelief of such a horrific sound coming from her "pops". As an infant, as a toddler, as an adolscent, as a teenager, as a high school senior, as a college student and grad, as a long-distance caller, and still to this day, I sing her that song! Happy Birthday Sweets! "...you make me happy when skies are gray". (this morning's sunrise pushing away the clouds BTW)
The Late Daily Cap (42)
I am yesterday-late because of computer issues, learning, and just because….
The Kitchen Pit
I’m gonna just go ahead right here, right now and make it official (as if that’s really necessary): our kitchen remodel project is our very own version of “The Money Pit”.
The kitchen is where it usually begins
Only 3 weeks out of debt for having remodelled the master bedroom and bath, and now look what we’ve done. Cabinet missing, fur-down gone, wallpaper striped, popcorn off the ceiling, holes overhead still in need of patching, insulation everywhere, the smell of (sheet rock) joint compound in the air, ladders poised for service, and a hammer – you gotta have a hammer – on the counter.
It’s about getting re-acquainted with the banker all over again…and the unsettling disruption to my morning coffee routine. Read More…
The Daily Cap (9)

My cluttered (home) office...is it reminiscent of a clutter mind? I like to think not. Can we say it's just a permanent sign of temporary creativity? All I'm missing are the Royal Scotties that frequent this gem of a sanctuary. It really is kind of an eclectic mix of function, novelty, and mess huh?
De-pants’d
I don’t know if the FD & FSIL are gonna do this event today, being the live up there in the “crazy city”.
Nor do I know whether the FS & (pregnant) FDIL will give it a go down this way in the “weird town”.
But whatever they do (or don’t) in the way of public participation in “Scivies Sunday, it does sounds kind of fun and entertaining.
This Event, wherever it’s organized, will/would definitely be a camera/picture/The Daily Cap kind of moment.
Where’s my camera? Could I take pictures of this Event without getting the “creep” label? (I guess that depends on who and what gets photographed…LOL) Read More…
Favorite “cheese” of 2011
Believe it or not, I’m photo’d out…for the year.
And it has been yet another active year exercising the Canon, FugiFilm, and on occasion, the in-a-pinch iPhone camera.
In looking back at my 2011, I see that I did a lot of birding and flowering with the photos taken (or at least those that are my “favorites”). And I certainly threw in a few sunrise/sunset photos…after all, what would a set of my pics be without those kind of photos?
Take a look – let me know what you think. This has been a fun year and it has taken me several places in order to capture the handful of photos here and there…and along the way.
