Picture of the Day - Retirement Poster

My goal this month is to take a daily picture of something that makes me smile.

This year, I celebrate my second anniversary of being retired from UPS after 23 years. Below was the poster my wife put together from my retirement party. This has been the second time I have retired, as I also retired from the U.S. Air Force after 20 Years. I was very fortunate to work for UPS, as when I was hired initially we were a Call center vendor supporting them, and the vendor went bankrupt, and UPS bought us out and made us a subsidiary.

Picture of the Day - Fountain

My goal this month is to take a daily picture of something that makes me smile.

This is a picture of the fountain in my backyard.  It's incredible to see all the wildlife that uses it for nourishment here in Las Vegas. The bottom three photos were taken previously. We have seen Ravens (Crows), Small Birds, Humming Birds, and Lizards using it

Suit Yourself

The owner of the tuxedo store kept hovering over me when i was browsing, so I asked him to leave me alone.
He said, “Fine, suit yourself.”

Picture of the Day - Wooden Plates

My goal this month is to take a daily picture of something that makes me smile.

These wooden plates are hung behind my bar in the living Room. They represent all the places in Europe I was fortunate to visit while I was stationed in the United Kingdom. These plates were never really hung up until we moved into this house. 

People ask me now that I am retired, Don't you want to travel and see the world? I let them know I was fortunate that while I was in the US Air Force, I was overseas for 17 of the 20 years I was in the military, and I got to visit Europe, Japan, South Korea, Iceland, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.

Picture of the Day - Dogs

My goal this month is to take a daily picture of something that makes me smile.

I love dogs.  We don't have dogs now as ours have all cross the rainbow bridge.  I do want some in the future. The pictures below are not our dogs and were taken earlier this year.  For some reason, Dogs tend to feel very comfortable around me.

This is Sola. A little cuddle bug. One of my wife's friends's Dog

This is Mickan, another Friend's Dog

This is Momo, a dog that we Dog sit for one of my wife's friends.  Momo is very guy-oriented and does not care how hot it is. It still wants to cuddle. She will sleep with us at night.
