I’m finding it hard to work these last couple of days. Every couple of minutes I see a new set of scan pictures come through His day and works through the boxes and boxes of 35 mm pictures we have. Everyone of them takes me back to the moment. Today DAN was scanning some of the kids when you were very young. They’re so cute !

Here is Gabe is a brand new baby

I can look at these all day… Actually I think that’s what I’m doing

It’s a beautiful snowy day here today.

Diane has been working hard at scanning the zillions of boxes of 35 mm prints that we have. It’s so great having this scanner… It makes the job so much easier… Mechanically at least. I have to say that I’m only looking at a fraction of the pictures a day in his scanning… And they really pull on my heartstrings… Definitely bittersweet… More sweet and bitter I have to say but still… They take my breath away.

I’m Deeply appreciative of the work that she’s doing… to go through these pictures. 

Diane and I managed to get up in the amazing woods above John’s pond in Huntington/ Bolton



I hear a bath calling. More tomorrow

Didn’t get a chance to blog yesterday.. it was a busy day.. I’d originally planned to take it off.. but changed my mind,, My one venture out was to take the mercury that Scott needed to get rid of to the hazardous waste depot. The great thing is , they recycle the mercury for new uses.. there s mercury distiller down in Massachusetts.. and that’s where it goes. I felt a little weird driving around with it. We used to play with it as kids.. even pouring it into our hands. Now if you lose a few drops in a school, they close the place down and folks come in in hazmat suits to clean it up !

here I am dropping the stuff off.. Nice to see it going to a good cause !

Seriously… Doesn’t this year sort of remind you of Groundhog Day?… I mean the movie… You wake up every day .. And it seems more or less the same.… Diane and I have gotten in the habit of saying good morning it’s Tuesday… Or whatever. Sometime we honestly really have to think about what day it is.

Tonight we decided to watch Groundhog Day the movie… I honestly don’t think I’ve seen it since the 90s. We decided to watch it because Diane’s yoga class today it was based on a really nice piece she’d seen on the movie.

Essentially the peace can you describes Bill Murray’s “Phil” journey as a journey of yogic discovery.… When he got stuck in the loop of every day being the same he started miss using it.… He stole things, he took it vantage of people… He was unkind.… But then he started going into despair. He found weird ways of killing himself but always the next morning he was awake in the same bed… It wasn’t until he was confronted with someone else’s death… The old homeless man that he became he started using his powers to help other people, saving a kid from falling off a tree, saving man from choking, fixing peoples cars… All in crammed into that one day

We watch the movie and it was really great. Bill Murray is so goofy… And seen him and Andy McDowell go through all of those scenes each one the same but totally different… What a hoot to make that movie…!

It wasn’t until he found true love after much practice that he actually escaped his loop…

Well… I’ve had True love for a long time.…

I guess it’s gonna take more than that to escape the crazy loop… We’re all in…

I guess the only thing we can do until that happens is use the repeated time At homewell.

Happy groundhog year !
