July 15, 2014 -- Happy Birthday, Fonz!

No, that's not an iPhone. It's...

... SKI WAX!

Skiing? in southern Missouri???

Yep, skiing! February, 1983.

Too much wax?

July 15, 2014 -- Happy Birthday, Fonda

My baby turns (40 something) today. I won't give it away, but it isn't hard to figure it out.
As babies go, she was the perfect child. She still is. Of course! So, at 4 p.m., Happy Birthday, Fonzy!

July 1968, about two weeks old. Such a sweetie.

Fonda made her own birthday cake. This was July, 1974. This isn't the picture I wanted to post, but I couldn't find it; she was painting the counter with chocolate pudding, and also painted her face. and body. and then grinned for the camera. But that was two years earlier.

July 13, 2014 -- Late night light show

Rumbled through the area about 11 p.m., made lots of noise and lit up the sky.

Raindrops on the lens made smudges.
