Rally to Restore Sanity/Fear

What to do on a perfect fall afternoon?

Join thousands upon thousands of other people on the Mall for a rally/ Comedy Central event!

We love the Daily Show/ Colbert Report, so had to do our part to "protest" the haters out there who are intent on turning the clocks back 50 years.

Not sure that anything can turn the tidal wave that's cresting, but I'm going to do my part.

Vote Tuesday.

Sunrise over the Wye River

Kent Island Homecoming Parade

The last parade of the season - for the Kent Island High School homecoming game - went by our house this afternoon.

We got enough candy to last us a good long while!

Calm Water

I don't know who these people are, but the water looks beautifully calm tonight. No wonder they're smiling!

Spoiled Dog

Crockett has never come to grips with the fact that he's not a 20-pound puppy any more.

Careful Catch

Everyone Catches Fish

Mitch is visiting for the weekend.

Of course, he and Shawn went out to catch some fish. It doesn't matter that the weather stinks - they still were out there.

Sunset on the Bay

Out on the water

Creig's Daily Catch

Fresh Water Drum

Chicken man

Creig talked Shawn into judging chickens for a local 4-H competition.

Shawn's Birthday Present to Himself

Family

Birthday Partiers

The Birthday Boy!

Sadly, I did not get a picture of Shawn blowing out his candles. This will have to do!!

Uncle Daddy's Chesapeake Throwdown

Shelter from the storm

Rain is predicted, so we made an early morning run to buy the biggest tarp we could find for a make-shift shelter. The show must go on!

Shawn's Birthday

To celebrate a half-century of Shawn, we came to Tennessee for the weekend.


Shawn drove down on Thursday night, and I flew in on Friday. I'm going back Monday morning, he's staying another week to fish with Creig.

I baked a cake, filled, frosted, glazed, and froze it, and packed it in the cooler with blue crabs, oysters, and rockfish sticks - all for Shawn's Chesapeake birthday throwdown.

Ella helped me put the finishing touches on the cake. 50 is a LOT of candles, especially when you're using coconut macaroons as candle holders!!
