irishmurr > Maeve is waving bye to all of you ... ssshhhh, don't tell her, but she's not going with us.  :-)

We were packing for a weekend getaway, plopped Maeve in the suitcase and she was ready to go.  We're off to the Great Lakes Inter-Regional Meet of the Cadillac LaSalle Club -- so I imagine I'll be bringing back a Cadillac shot or two.  I may check in with you all while the guys are talking automobiles and/or watching football -- or I may join them.  Either way, hope you all have a great weekend!  (September 10, 2009)



“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”
   ~~ Henry Miller
irishmurr > It was a busy day and when I spotted these jars, I thought:  "daily photo."  Straight out of camera, too.  Did I mention it was a busy day?  :-)
  (September 9, 2009)


"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."
   ~~ Confucius
irishmurr > Football season has begun and Maeve, with the Dad and grandpas that she has, realizes early on the importance of that event.  (September 8, 2009)


"A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall."
   ~~ Frank Leahy, Notre Dame
irishmurr > Maeve wasn't the only one ready to party the other night -- our illuminated, moving flamingo was at the luau too.  (September 7, 2009)



"Partying is such sweet sorrow."
   ~~ Robert Byrne
irishmurr > It's Oktoberfest time!  Our son works for Great Lakes Brewery, which was competing in this year's beer tasting contest, so you know we were on hand for the festivities.  I took lots of photos, but this is one of my favorites:  some of the dancers getting ready to perform.  (September 6, 2009)


“Oktoberfest is a celebration, and craft brewers in the U.S. have earned the respect of the world.”
   ~~ Ray Daniels
irishmurr > Our little party animal.  (Jilly, this one's for you!)

Today was Ava's birthday party and she wanted a luau.  And, as you can see, Maeve was dressed for the occasion and all ready to party.  (September 5, 2009)




"Hear no evil, speak no evil - and you'll never be invited to a party."
   ~~ Oscar Wilde
irishmurr > I'd like to introduce Firefly and Ajax.  We met them while taking a stroll in the park.  They're greyhounds which were rescued -- and it's obvious that they're happy about that, as is their owner.  They are definitely precious animals and it was a joy to meet them.  (September 4, 2009)



"To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace."
   ~~ Milan Kundera
irishmurr > Kris, this one's for you.  :-)

Ever since Kris posted a shot of Skyline chili, I've been craving it.  Well, today that craving ended -- at least until my stash is gone.  (September 3, 2009)


"There is no love sincerer than the love of food."
   ~~ George Bernard Shaw



I have to thank you all for making Ava's day.  In the evening, I noticed her birthday photo was number one, so I called next door and had her come over and check it out.  She and I sat on the front porch reading all of your comments and happy birthday wishes.  I should've taken a photo of that smiling face to use as today's daily, because she was definitely grinning from ear to ear.  So, thank you all!
irishmurr > Ashley had her turn in the spotlight the other day, but today it was her little sister Ava's turn -- because it's Ava's birthday!  Bet you'll never be able to guess how old she is.  :-)

"Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” 
   ~~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy
irishmurr > Just another flower shot -- although I managed the added bonus of a bee.  (September 1, 2009)


"Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it, so it goes on flying anyway."
   ~~ Mary Kay Ash





Ashley was thrilled by all of the comments her photo received yesterday -- so, thank you from the both of us!
irishmurr > Ashley helped me with my daily today.  She said her grass skirt looked like corn stalks -- and decided to peek out from behind them and give me this pose.  Thanks for the help Ashley!  (August 31, 2009)



"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel."
   ~~ Carl W. Buechner
irishmurr > It was getting late and since I hadn't even picked up the camera much this week, I went in search of a daily photo.  I spotted this vine growing through my back fence -- and there you have it.  Can you tell I'm really lacking in motivation these days?  Hopefully, it'll pass.  :-)

"The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.”
   ~~ Oliver Wendell Holmes
irishmurr > Memories

It was a stormy day around here, so I spent the afternoon working on 4th of July photos and thought I'd share this one with you.  It's a nice end-of-summer shot.  (August 28, 2009)



"What we remember from childhood we remember forever - permanent ghosts, stamped, inked, imprinted, eternally seen."
   ~~ Cynthia Ozick
irishmurr > Caught in the act -- Maeve likes grandma's flowers almost as much as grandma does.  (August 25, 2009)

Sorry I haven't been able to comment the last day or so.  I have hundreds of family photos that were taken this summer and which need to get posted.  The natives are getting restless and if I don't get them done, they may find someone else to be family photographer .....  :-)



"Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.” 
   ~~ Harvey MacKay
irishmurr > Johnny and his Uncle Jimmy on our camping trip

Johnny reminds everyone of Jimmy when he was a toddler, which makes us wonder if our little man will grow up to be a big man, just like his uncle.  (August 23, 2009)



“Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul.”
   ~~ The Wonder Years
Maeve is waving bye to all of you ... ssshhhh, don't tell her, but she's not going with us. :-)

We were packing for a weekend getaway, plopped Maeve in the suitcase and she was ready to go. We're off to the Great Lakes Inter-Regional Meet of the Cadillac LaSalle Club -- so I imagine I'll be bringing back a Cadillac shot or two. I may check in with you all while the guys are talking automobiles and/or watching football -- or I may join them. Either way, hope you all have a great weekend! (September 10, 2009)
