This is a picture I took while we (my Mom, me and my siblings) were at Six Flags. Basically just a shot to show I've been to Six Flags and stuff.
Flashback to the 30th March 2013 when beautiful Comet L4 Pan-STARRS graced our skies. This image was taken on 30th March 2013 looking out over Lough Neagh. At that time the comet was about two degrees below The Andromeda Spiral (M31).

i enjoy seeing the furniture of my childhood in these pictures:
the black & white television.
the hans wegner rocking chair that we were rocked in, and that our own two boys were rocked in, as babies. (it's in very poor condition right now, slated for refinishing soon)
the little blue chair that my mom painted when she took a rosemaling class in the early 1970s. she still uses that chair as a stepstool today.
Color-blocked, added flutter sleeves, binding around arm. Blogged here: erickmarnae.wordpress.com/2014/07/24/croquet-skirt-flashb...
I came across this photo taken back in April last year and thought I'd post it. This pretty tulip was bought from Safeway, to help get me through a few cold winter days : ).

The streetcar era in Indianapolis bowed out at 3:10 a.m. on Jan. 9, 1953 as the final clang, clang, clang of the trolley and the last clank, clank, clank of the traditional "flat" wheels trailed off into oblivion. The gaily decorated No. 148 pulled out of the Indianapolis Railways car barn at 1 a.m., topped with a mortar board and tassle signifying its "graduation" from the College Ave. line. A sign reading "Streetcar Named Expire" was affixed to the front. Retiring motormen and dignitaries including Mayor Alex Clark rode on accompanying street cars. Transit operator Roy Leverett, 42, (shown here) then pulled the old car into the barns, where it and 33 others awaited their fate Ð to be cut up and made into such things as refrigerators, bicycles and coat hangers. In the name of progress, motor buses and trackless trolleys took over completely at 5 a.m. that morning. The streetcar era had lasted 89 years in Indianapolis. In 1864, the first mule-drawn car began on the rails here. In 1891, the first electric streetcar clanged and rumbled through city streets. While trackless trolleys built at the Mormon-Herrington plant in Indianapolis began service on city streets in October 1946, some old streetcars ran until 1953. Indianapolis Transit System bought Indianapolis Railways in 1955 and introduced motorized buses several years later. In 1974, the city bought the company and formed the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation; it operated under the name of Metro until 1998, when the operating name became IndyGo. Leverett retired in 1965 but worked part-time until he turned 80. Now 89, he still lives in Indianapolis. Photo by Indianapolis Star photographer Maurice Burnett

Doing that thing all English people do at one point in their life.... Alton Towers.
This was my friend Kim's 16th birthday party and my one and only time at Alton Towers. I have some not so fond memories of this day, including getting grounded when I got home. My parents didn't realise that this would be a whole day trip, had a huge shouting argument with Kim's dad when we got back (including slamming the door in his face) and I got yelled at like nothing else. I understand that my parents were probably worried but they knew where I was and who I was with. I was mortified and secretly called Kim's parents to apologise the next day. Oh teenager-dom.
Age 16, with the typical age 16 bad hair. I haven't spoken to any of these girls in years. We were so, so tight in highschool and then I moved far away for University.
