Miriam playing with Bika for the first time

It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm a bit shocked when I look at the date of our last post.

Anyway...

Tonight I caught a great encounter between Miriam and Bika. We both absolutely love Miriam's laugh.

Old Photos

A couple months ago, I used my EPSON scanner to scan some old photos of me and my sister. The photos were taken in late 1977, so they have yellowed. I was hoping to just use Adobe Photoshop's Auto Levels adjustment tool and everything we be magically fixed, but this wasn't so. I feel very lukewarm about the results. Once again I have come to the conclusion that I realy need to learn how to use Photoshop.

Below are the two pictures before I adjusted them with Photoshop.

Now, here are what the images look like after the Auto Levels adjustment. Certainly, there is less of that yellowing look, but the colors still leave a lot to be desired. Any suggestions all you Photoshop gurus out there? :-)

Ducks at Riverside Park (Watertown, WI)

Today (June 21st), we went to Riverside Park to feed the ducks. The park is in Watertown and it has been flooded for the last few weeks. We all really enjoy going down there and feeding the ducks with stale loaves of bread.

The best part of the day.

Miriam is not impressed with her first parade.

Amy's first blog post

Moved to Watertown

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the big delay. As of mid-March, I started off my career as a librarian by taking a job at the Watertown Public Library (Watertown, Wisconsin). Since I've started working 40 hours a week, I haven't had time to keep up with email, let alone the blog.

That being said, Amy has declared a desire to start uploading images and videos to the blog. Please be patient. She has tons to learn. :-)
