Blessed Day

Shane — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:15:07 +0000

Really, all it takes is a random short conversation sometimes from a complete stranger to make me smile. This is one from today at lunch at Long John Silver’s.

Lady at LJS: Can I ask y’all something?
Chase & I: Sure thing.
Lady at LJS: Are y’all twins?
Chase & I: Yes ma’am.
Lady at LJS: Which one is the bad one?
Chase & I: Hmm..we’re both pretty good.
Lady at LJS: Good. That’s nice to hear.
Chase & I: Thank you.
Lady at LJS: Y’all have a blessed day.

60s in February!

I know this will probably be short lived, or we’ll pay for it dearly next winter, but I am LOVING these 60°+ days!

Tag Taxes

I want to thank Whitfield County for the upcoming birthday present of tag renewal taxes! Much appreciated!

Notice no hair gel. It’s surprisingly strange to get used to, but makes getting ready for work a little bit faster. Although I do prefer it much more styled, so this will be short lived.

Local Sales Tax

I picked up some stuff at Walmart today and noticed on the receipt that our sales tax is now 5% instead of 7%. Nice.

Thumbs Up

I just got a thumbs up while riding across town, but I’m unsure if it’s because of the car or the Ron Paul decal. Either way, I’ll take it!

Watching NH Primary Results

I’m spending my evening watching the results for the New Hampshire Primary come in. It’s early, but we’re looking good so far.

Our Last Complete Family Photo, on Canvas!

Shane — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:33:50 +0000

Family photos are one of those things that everyone should always put more effort in on trying to make as many as possible, as often as possible. My family wasn’t the best at doing that, and sometimes they were last minute, but the ones that we do have, I just absolutely love.

What you see in the pictures below, is a canvas print of the last family photo I took before Mom passed away, courtesy of Easy Canvas Prints. It was taken on a Dad’s 60th birthday, on a complete whim.

This beauty is now hanging in a prominent place so that anyone that is over can see it. Everyone that’s seen it so far is amazed at the quality, and at how much nicer and unique it looks versus just framing a picture. The quality is unreal—the pictures don’t even do it justice. I had never seen a canvas print up close and in person, but this definitely won’t be my last one. And for someone that has a hard time with gifts, this is the perfect answer!

A huge thanks to Melissa at Easy Canvas Prints for such an amazing product and for being a pleasure to work with!
