Raising the Roof – Snapshot of the Day, No. 313

We have a new roof – after several years of needing one. This is a view of our deck during the second day of the job. (it’s been raining, so it took a little longer than usual) The fruit stays in the window sill since Joe usurped the fruit basket for his bills.

Old School – Snapshot of the Day, No. 312

We were all given hams for Christmas today at work. And even though I don’t eat ham, I went and got mine anyway. I’ll give it to my or Joe’s family for our Christmas dinner. But anyway the hams were being given out in the garage. This is one of the rooms we had toContinue reading “Old School – Snapshot of the Day, No. 312”

Black Hawk Monday – Snapshot of the Day, No. 311

Hmmm. Was the U.S. Army needing something? OR, is Wal-Mart selling these things now? Original ticket price, $13 million. But for a limited time only, $32.99!

Bonnie & Clyde Were Here – Snapshot of the Day, No. 310

We were involved in the Soddy-Daisy Christmas Parade and passed this old car. Wow! Obviously it’s been sitting there a while.

Grandmother’s Cutlery – Snapshot of the Day, No. 309

These need a little polishing, but they are still pretty. They seem like the kind of thing a grandmother would own. Chances are stuff like this is not made anymore.

Back Door Papers – Snapshot of the Day, No. 308

This is the door I come in through at work. Why there were so many newspapers stacked in the stairwell is beyond me. I stopped asking questions long ago – out loud at least. Did we get more orders than usual – OR did we lose some? It’s probably some other good reason, right?

Thanksgiving Hors d’oeuvres – Snapshot of the Day, No. 307

Today was Thanksgiving. We went to my sister-in-law’s house for lunch. (We went to my father’s for dinner later on – so we had to pace ourselves with the food.) Anyway, she always puts out a lot of snacks before the meal, and this table is generally where everyone congregates most of the time. IContinue reading “Thanksgiving Hors d’oeuvres – Snapshot of the Day, No. 307”

Editorial Graffiti – Snapshot of the Day, No. 306

I’m not sure, but since this was spray-painted on the side of one of our buildings, chances are it was left there by one of our employees. Hmmm. No comment.

Plumbing Differences – Snapshot of the Day, No. 305

Waterway Plumbing Supply, Inc. That’s what the name is on the pack of matches I found recently. They are actually still in business in Pittsburgh, Pa. I think I will have to send them this photo of their matches. Surely they don’t print this image any longer! I found this package of matches several monthsContinue reading “Plumbing Differences – Snapshot of the Day, No. 305”

Seeing the Light – Snapshot of the Day, No. 304

I found this at work – in my office, of all places. I have no idea where it came from, but it’s pretty cool. It reminds me of Dr. Frankenstein’s lab; but it’s actually the inside of a very old lightbulb. Very old. And broken, I might add. It has long since worked, but isContinue reading “Seeing the Light – Snapshot of the Day, No. 304”
