My hand on top of Shawn's hand. I have small hands. Or Shawn has big hands. Depends on your perspective, I suppose. I converted it to black and white in a photo program.

Mr. Joseph Ahue, Sr., Tournament Coordinator.
Today I had the apartment to myself, which doesn't happen very often. I decided to take the opportunity to blast music, sing my guts out and paint. I have been feeling like painting for days, but I have had little inspiration-then today out of no where I banged out 3 small paintings. Some days are better than others, which is why I keep pushing myself to be creative in SOME way every single day.
Thirty-ninth president, 1977–1981
When Americans elected Jimmy Carter in 1976, they were voting for a positive change in executive leadership. Burdened by escalating costs of living and tired of recent scandal-ridden politics, they saw Carter as a fresh new face who would make, in his words, government “as good as the American people.” A born-again Christian, Carter touted his human decency to heal the divisions of post-Vietnam American society while also promising to fix the economy. Stemming high inflation, however, proved to be harder than he had predicted. He also could not do much to ease the ongoing energy crisis instigated by the cartel of oil producing nations. In 1978, Carter successfully brokered a landmark peace accord between Egypt and Israel, but the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, spurred by the U.S. support of the unpopular Shah of Iran, rippled the last year of his administration. He lost a reelection bid to Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In this portrait by Robert Templeton, Carter is shown standing in the oval office, as it was during his tenure. The donkey statuette on his desk was a gift from the Democratic National Committee.

Theme: Favorite Book
This week the theme is to take a photo that connects or references a favorite book.
We rode bikes along the Delaware Canal on Saturday. This train car is rusting away on an abandoned rail line in woods that are growing up around it, along the canal. Made me think of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express.
