You know your blog is bad when Jeremiah tells you to get it in gear! Well, I've got a few pictures that will make him jealous he didn't get them posted first...
Last week I received some family photos from west coast Uncle Brad. My Aunt Julie's grandfather was a bicycle racer, and from the collection of winnings pictured here, we're all pretty sure he could've challenged Jeremiah to a track race... and won.
Check out the tiger skin covering that trophy base!
Talk about a trophy case. And, notice the note on the photo, "some of his prizes." Whew!
As for me, I had a fun July, attending Jeremiah's races in Windam and Mt Snow. It was an incredible experience to cheer him on during the Short Track National Championship race. I'll make a deal with you; my next blog will include photos, and I'll link to the video I captured of Jeremiah making what would become the race-winning attack!
For now, I'm tired again and am going to take a nap. Erin
1. parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not.
2. any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins: to marry into a socially prominent family.
3. all those persons considered as descendants of a common progenitor.
4. a group of people who are generally not blood relations but who share common attitudes, interests, or goals and, frequently, live together: Many hippie communes of the sixties regarded themselves as families.
Over the past few days, there's been a lot happening. I'd best describe it as intense. Luckily there was a seven-buck Chuck wine tasting party thrown into the hectic mix as well. If you are in search of a satisfactory seven-dollar bottle of Australian red, then reach for Lindeman's Merlot. This mystery bottle #5 even beat out the french Beaujolais that sneaked into the tasting lineup.
Yesterday, I ventured into the land of NOVA to cheer on Jeremiah and Chris at the Capitol Cup cyclocross race. I was happy to watch as our friend Dave Weaver had a stellar race, winning the Elite Masters event by a healthy ten seconds!
The women's field was smaller than I remember them being, but the competition was plenty stiff. From the sidelines with some of the Dirty Girls, I cheered for Melanie Swartz - a good pal from 'cross seasons past.
In other news, I've decided that I prefer SmugMug for the new JB photo gallery. You can click on the Gallery link, in the left column.
Now I just have to figure out how to get the giant steel framed sofa (that came with the house) out from our basement and onto the curb in time for "Big Trash Wednesday."
You might have noticed that the Gallery link, at left, is no longer functional. I had nothing to do with the server's demise, but I've also had nothing to do with a solution. Until today.
Now, I'm exploring various photo hosting sites with the intent of finding a winner within the next few days. So far I've learned a little bit about SmugMug, Flickr and others.
If you have any input, I'm open to it. I want ultimate control over the "look and feel," buttons, options, and I'd even like to host the gallery directly from JeremiahBishop.com. I don't want ads or pop ups. That should narrow it down.
Back to the point. Here are some photos that have been floundering in my iPhoto gallery for weeks.
