“When they make the movie of our lives, they will never get that part right. They couldn’t. It was too great.”
Panorama Driving
I posted a whole bunch of panorama photos that I took over the past few weeks. All of them but one was taken while Joe was driving and I was able to shoot through the windows in the van. I love doing it. It’s like a puzzle. Here is one of my favorites taken while going around the bend right before Hurricane, Utah:
EDIT: I’ve had a few requests to see the original size of the panoramas. There is really no way to do that because some are 20MB. But I did add one at 7000 px wide. Just go to the ‘all sizes’ on this one and view it in the original size.
Alison Gate aka Olivia Rex
My niece, Alison, is super talented and it is only a matter of time before her music hits all the ends of the earth. She is currently number 6 on the top ten song list at Real Music Fan. She was featured, first in the line-up, on the weekly radio program, which you can listen to here in the episode entitled ‘A Gay New Year.‘ Her song starts right after the guy stops talking about a penis and large amounts of pot. If you can make it through that part, you’ll get to hear The Problem Song. It’s worth it. She has some pretty cool photos, too.
Interview with Heather Champ Powazek
New interview up: Heather Champ Powazek
Heather is one of my heroes because she dares to talk about being depressed in public and because she is a killer photographer. Some of her photos make me want to cry, they are so beautiful or true. Her MO is four cameras attached or slung across her body at all times. Because Heather is Canadian, she put bonus letter ‘U’s all over in her interview. I left them there because Canada is a real country with a real language too, eh?
Nikki and Laura May
Two of my nieces at Wire Pass with their mom, my sister, Natalie, taken by Rick, their dad. Utah can be so lovely. And the girls are the cutest evah.
Our Day with Birds in Virginia
My father-in-law, Jim Crawford is an anesthesiologist at Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
One of his partners is Paul Wolff.
Paul and his wife, Diane, have a few birds. Or else, 27, whichever.
They were wonderful and let us in their home tonight to talk with the birds.
And, they love Disney.
We had lunch at Nawab. Here is my mother-in-law, Phyllis, saving us a table. It was easily the best Indian food I’ve ever had.
We saw the Roanoke Star, walked around downtown and saw the scaled down model of the proposed building for the new art gallery which included tiny people. Who doesn’t love tiny people?
Like a Christmas Card, Only Better
Talk about an awesome day……..
Guess what Heather is saying?
Yes, I Made Them. Because I'm CRAFTY
I saw these great marble magnets on not martha so I decided to make them for Christmas presents this year.
Here’s how mine turned out:
Instructions
Well, someone did it. They created the instructions for making jelly bean reindeer. Thanks, Waco Mama. I think I just heard the entire internet breathe a collective sigh of relief. Yes, there will be no deaths due to Lack of Reindeer Instructions. My advice – run, don’t walk, to the nearest craft store and purchase your balls and beans as fast as you can for they will soon be sold out.

A Present
Dear Heather,
Merry Christmas!
I hope you like the present I made especially for you at Homemaking using one of the Styrofoam balls of many sizes from my year’s supply. He’s a one of a kind, limited edition sweetheart. I call him Tweed.
Happy Holidays!

We Are a Family of Geeks
So we drag the kids out of the house and away from their headphones/iTunes, their laptops/email, their video games and Flash programming to spend some quality time and where do we go? To the Apple store. Where they check their email, listen to iTunes, play games and view their Flash programming.
Have you seen these ginormous screens?? I’m still salivating and will build an entire room to house it if only Santa will bring me one.
And here is Tony checking out his own creation in a very large fashion.
