Back again

Well another week has past and I have really been off track. I did get some walking in but not enough to blog about. I have been in a frenzy to get a web site done for my family on my fathers side. I really started out with just wanting to get some photos of my grandmothers side of the family on a site but it lead to so much more and by the time I finished I had a photo gallery, family history page, birthday page,calendar of events, who am I page, and a blog. It has been fun putting it together. I think I have bothered my brothers and sister enough. Now it's time to get back on schedule. I still have plenty of scanning left to do but that can be done slower than the pace I've been trying to keep. The stats I'm posting are for last Monday I haven't walked since so the temperature will be off. Here's a photo of my art room it's filled will photos.

Back to blogging

It's been a week since my last blog. I have been scanning pictures like mad. I have about 5200 in now and another 7 or 8 thousand to do still. I have been sorting resorting and still resorting through 33 years of pictures. In my attempts to identify children, spouses, girl & boy friends, and children of the children I can't identify. I decided to make a spread sheet of the Monahan family. I needed to gather updated information for family history so this was a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. I started making phone calls tonight to all my cousins and aunts and uncles. I did get about 1/3 of the way done. So I hope I can complete the spread sheet this week end. I have not been walking as much as I would like so I do have to get back on track. However I did walk some.(see stats posted) I walked last Friday at the mall and got some bad news. As of Oct 1st Polaris Mall will be a NO PET Mall just like all the others. I'm sure there will be a great number of people who will be upset by this. It was nice to have somewhere cool or warm to walk your pet. They said they have had to replace the carpet 4 times and some pet owners do not clean up after their pets.(surprise) The store owners are tired of chasing pets out of the stores and cleaning up after them. I haven't been back to the mall since Friday. The weather has been so beautiful I've been walking outside. I walked across the dam yesterday with my dog Phoebe who doesn't bother anyone unless they have a dog, when walking back across the dam when we passed this young couple who was enjoying the view and had their backs to us, just as we passed them Phoebe turned back to the young man I thought she was going to attack him as she has never done this before, I tried to pull her back and all the sudden I heard him call Phoebe's name. I looked up and saw my son Robby's best friend Jiffy and his girlfriend Sara. Phoebe must have smelled him as we passed. So I took this opportunity to snap a picture of them. Did you know the length from your wrist to your elbow is the same as the length of your foot.

Early Start

Got up early today I wanted to get my walking in so I could continue my scanning.I'm not sure I'll ever get it done. I though maybe this would be better if I paid someone to do it for me but it would cost thousands of dollars. Maybe I should scan for other people and make money myself. It's hard to believe how many pictures we own. I did get to the mall to walk, there weren't many shoppers. The mall is getting ready for the holidays. They have put up two Calendar stores ( one at each end of the mall).They must sell a lot of calendars. The only store that keeps busy all the time is the crocs kiosk in the middle of the mall. It's amazing how many people are buying those ugly shoes but there's always plenty of people at the kiosk. I didn't see any dogs until just as I was leaving the ladies room Bodo a 7yr old Dachshund came in. He was too cute. Did you know Dachshunds are accomplished hunting dogs despite their lapdog reputations.

Never enough time

Today has been a very busy day trying to get my walking done was one of the first things on my list.I've been trying to scan a lifetime of photos into a day or two. I headed over to the mall, first I did have to go by the bank and the post office. I was anxious to see how much they are getting done on the Kaufmann building.I got my 4 miles in at the mall and I met Melissa, Karen, & Bill each one was walking a dog. Two Boston Terriers and a French bull dog. The dogs Alley, Abby & Tubby are 2,5,& 6. I was a little rattled trying to take pics of all 3 and get the information. I hope I got it right. Did you know two distinctive features of the French Bulldog are its bat ears and half-flat, half-domed skull. Also the Boston Terrier is the result of a cross between an English Bulldog and a white English Terrier, later considerably inbred.

Welcome September

The weather was great today. I walked at Easton for a while and at home tonight with Phoebe. I had some running around to do so I walked in between errands. I wish the weather was like this all the time. Today was the first Buckeye football game. I think the Buckeyes won, even if they didn't at least they had great weather. If we're lucky we will have a nice fall season. The thought of winter coming doesn't thrill me. I hate the cold more than the heat. I did meet a cute little dog today Izzy. Today was her first day with her new owner Ashton. Izzy is a 6 week old Great Dane puppy and her owners drove to Portsmouth to get her. She came from a litter of 12. And at $500.00 per puppy that's a nice chunk of change. Can you even imagine 12 of these running all around. She will get to be about 190 lbs. Did you know the Dane was developed as a boar hound by the Germans.
