Braggin' a Little...

 

 

Today there was a art show in Heritage Hunt. I must send out a GIANT Congrats to my father in law, Dick Silva!

He sold paintings and note cards! Such a rewarding feeling to sell your creations!

And just think there is more lovely work in Rockville, MD in the Small Wonders Show
that opens this weekend.
Such beautiful work...Way to Go!!!

Happy Birthday Lewie!

 

 

 

We celebrated Lewie's  12th birthday on Friday at Cox Farms! 

 

 

He and his friends had a fabulous time!
The pumpkin patch had slides, a corn maze, and even a hay ride.



 

 

Saturday Morning in the Studio...

 

 

 

Saturday morning we were asked to set up a Photo Shoot for our Oakton football players...

 

 

 

 

The idea was to highlight the variety of uniforms OHS players wear...  

 

It turned out to be so much more! The players picked the tunes that set the mood...

 

A great energy ensued!  

 

 

Two photographers worked for nearly four hours...

 

 

 These players never looked so good or held a pose so well! 

 

 The guys were great sports...

analyzing each others poses and offering advise for the

best look... 

 



 

 These two young ladies did an outstanding job!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today...a quiet, empty Capitol city

 

Today we took a field trip to the Newseum in D.C.

 

It was rainy and cold, almost as if the Capitol was weeping...

 

 

Eerily empty around the city today...

 

 

These creative & clever teenagers

could devise a reasonable solution to this

Shutdown...

However, in the meantime, they are deprived our Nation's treasures...



October 1st...The Government Shuts Down

Sad state of affairs...

                    The Government has shut down...

                                                                    Curiosity ...

 

 

Streets barricaded...

 

Museums and the Zoo closed...

 

 the Sunset wildly distracting!
