Eagle Eye #17 – Different View

No matter how you look at it, there’s no fairway.

Eagle Eye #17

Par 3 – Zero Fairway. I got on with my pitching wedge and parred it.

Pet’s on the Couch

This isn’t the best photo, but I had to share. I came back from the kitchen and all my pets had taken a spot on the couch, even Ruby the cat.

Cruise Day #1

This was taken as we were sailing out of Miami

Week 1 – My Cousin

This is the first post of 52 weeks in the Photo life of Smitty. I took this over break of my cousin strumming his six string for me.

Foyer Painted

It took me a full week but the foyer is now painted and everything has been rehung. Onto the stairwell after the holidays.

Bailey

I love the eyes on the photo, this is definitely getting printed.

Chloe

Just after I vacuumed the couch, Chloe decided to snuggle back in.

Thanksgiving Pie

Claire made a magazine worthy Apple/Pear Pie for Thanksgiving. I bought the pie plate and crust cutters from Williams Sonoma.

New CDs

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been pretty busy with my day job and work at church. I’ve been painting my foyer recently. It was a descent sized task with 20 ft ceiling.

On my way home this evening I made a couple stops and one happend to be the Family Christian Book store. Ended up picking up some $5 cds. I ended up getting…

• 33 Miles – Believe
• Castin Crowns – Until the Whole New World
• Jeremy Camp – Beyond Measure
• Casting Crowns – Peace on Earth

The Joel Test

If you are a developer you should know about the Joel Test

Pets at home

I’m home today after what I call an “unpleasant adventure” at the dentist yesterday. I snapped this of Ruby (my cat) on back yard surveillance and Bailey chilling in the chair.

Wedding Entrance

I want to shoot a wedding like this.

Education

This is why a solid education is important.

Cousin’s Wedding

My little cousin just got married in June. I finally got around to looking at the pics and putting them on flickr. It was a good wedding and we wish them the best.

Recent Bottles – June 2009

Had a few good bottles of wine recently.

Muscat Canelli – Chateau Ste. Michelle (Columbia Valley)
2007 Vintage

This was  a good sweeter dessert wine. I picked this up when we were on the Washington 2008 Trip.

Gamy Rouge – V. Sattui Winery (Napa Valley)
2006

Even though this is the only Gamy Rouge I’ve had, I thought it was pretty good. I bought this when we were in Californai in 2007.

New Car

The Smitty’s got a new car, an ‘09 Traverse. It’s pretty slick. It’s unfortunate that bsmith isn’t going to be the primary driver of the new ride.

New Website Launched

I don’t blog a lot about work, but we just launched a new website where I did a lot of programming and theme customization within Wordpress. The site houses our Professional Development offerings at our district for the year.

Dog pool

Chloe is more of a swimmer, Bailey thinks the pool is a big water bowl.

Dog Accesseries

I’m not really into accererizing my dog like some people, but we did just get a new backpack and leash for Bailey. They are made by ruffware, and they are by far higher quality than the average dog pack and leash. We had a cheap back back for the Bailey, but it didn’t fit well and started to rub his coat off. The new one fits perfectly.

So you are asking why a back pack for a dog? It’s this simple. After 3.5 miles of walking he’s just not tired. So we took the Cesar Milan approach and put a backpack on him and a couple bottles of water. Now he’s more focused because he has a job and tires faster given he’s carring more weight.

Jack Conte

This guy is pretty creative.

La Push

Washington Coast

This is either first or second beach, I’m really can’t remember.

Tic Tac Toe Master

I’m a master at tic tac toe.
