Shoot Fourteen - "Holy Cross Fall Festival"



France - mais oui!!
I know it was too easy - thanks Michelle, Milt, Peyton, Mike, Joani Elaine and her Grandson, Christopher. Mariann added a few French flags to try in an attempt to brown-nose the judges!

"New Best Friends"



For the past four years I have been the Holy Cross Events Photographer for my parish in Easton. I show up with camera in hand and take pictures which will be posted on the parish website. I'd rather do this than be assigned to a ride or an activity. This way I have freedom of movement around the parking lot and make my own time. Because I have a large camera and a flash, people give me space as they think I am a professional photographer - little do they know!

I watched these brother-sister twosome walking around being the typical siblings. They were constantly annoying each other UNTIL. . . big sister won a prize at one of the activities. Her candy necklace soon drew the attention of pesky little brother. For the next fifteen minutes he did not let her get more than six inches from him! Needless to say as soon as the prized neck piece was devoured, they went back to being a brother-sister act again. 


Where in the World?

Here are some interesting facts about various countries of the world. Just where would I be? 

It is the westernmost country of the European mainland.

This country became the first global maritime power during the 15th & 16th centuries. Pioneering  explorers such as Henry the Navigator, Vasco da Gama and Álvares Cabral founded new lands and colonies making their country a major economic, political and military power, ultimately dividing the world with Spain.

Its capital is the oldest city in Western Europe and one of the oldest cities in the world. It was devastated by a major earthquake in 1755. Although the city was rebuilt within a few years, the quake led to the country losing much of its wealth and status.

The Vasco da Gama Bridge, over the Tagus River is the largest in Europe at 17.2 km's (10.7 mi).

The various uses of the soft, spongy bark of the cork tree has made the country the largest producer of cork products in the world.

The most popular sport is football (soccer), the national team finished 3rd in the 1966 World Cup, 2nd in Euro 2004, and 4th in 2006 World Cup.

Interesting Thought. . .

Glass takes one million years to decompose, 
which means it never wears out 
and can be recycled an infinite amount of times!

Coffee Break Time!





Leaving on a humorous note, I hope!


What disease did cured ham actually have?
