A while back I used to blog on occasion under the topic “Random Low Quality Pictures”. The premise would be that I would find something amusing when I was out and about but then forget about it. Eventually, I would take all the photos off my phone (if the memory card was filling up) and then cherry pick the best ones (or the ones that I remember the reason of why I took the picture. Through in a pithy comment or two and WHAM, you had a blog.
Eventually I gave up my cell phone but continued on the tradition by using the wife’s phone. I changed the blog topic to “Random Low Quality Pictures From the Wife’s Cell Phone” but it was essentially the same concept. After a while (and a van crash that took with it the wife’s cell phone) we were demoted down to a phone that did not have a very easy method for getting the pictures from it to a blog and so I abandoned this type of blog.
As of last week, I now have a cell phone again. I found my old memory card and it worked with my new phone so I have been snapping random pictures again. I hesitate to call them low quality since technology has come so far since I first began so I am just going to call this…
Random Pictures From My Phone
Recently my mother and mother-in-law came for a 5 day visit. I think it was technically 4 days since they arrived Monday afternoon and left Friday afternoon. One great thing they did was drive down my beloved Buick that I left back in Indiana when we moved down here. The dogs did not adjust well to them staying with us as their normal routine was interrupted. Oreo was effected less than McKinney and Nina. As you can see in these pics, Oreo was happy as long as there was a lap to lay on (from left to right above is my mother, my mother-in-law, and my wife).
Speaking of dogs, our friends from the Austin area were up our way to pick up a new puppy (actually 2 puppies). I only snapped a pic of one of them (above). It was a good visit and Oreo seemed happy that he actually was not the smallest dog in the house for a short time. The puppy above is either Dixie or Blossom (I think it is Dixie).
FUYU for a product name just seems wrong. We recently bought a Costco membership and I saw this while wandering around. That is all I got to say about that.
The daughter turned 10 today. The big 1-0! We went out for a birthday dinner to her favorite restaurant, Macaroni Grill. I like that we can draw on the table and some time between the appetizer (some bruschetta for the wife and I) and the main course (fettuccine alfredo for my 10 year old [that does not feel right to say that]) I took the time to draw her a birthday cake. She is heading down the street to a friend’s house to spend the night and she was thankful for the gift we gave her (Punky Brewster Season 3).
Well that about does it for this entry of Random Photos From My Phone.
