Figured I'd do an "at 16" layout for the landmark prompt. Have done a few of these over the years and love looking back at them. I have so few photos of my kids now compared to when they were little! She takes selfies constantly, but makes faces if I point a camera at her.
Day 1
Used an app and a photo I purchased from Shutterfly to make this quick LO that quickly tells my story. First time I've used an app to scrap with.
Nothin' but freight! Interviews with KERSE HINDUE KAMIT and SHINE! $6 plus shipping! Exquisite full greyscale photos from the collected archives of Poncho Punch and myself. 50 pages of sickness right here, don't miss it!
I tackled two adventures today - examining something closer and using new products. I didn't have any enlargements of our trip to the Harry Potter studios to scrap, so took a photo of my eldest standing in front of a wall of wands (Ollivander's exhibit) and a tight shot of the display of all the wands used by the main characters in the books to talk about how surprised I was to realize just how many wands there were in the books. I also used two sheets of MY newest supplies which are from Shimelle's Glitter Girl collection.

Such a funny story. At first not so funny, but in retrospect it is hilarious. I used a Gotta Pixel kit for most elements (Always and Forever).
66101 stands with 6C28, the 1450 departure to Carlisle VQ from the Shap Summit Quarry on 16 July 2013. A wheeled loader has begun the task of charging the ballast wagons. The quarry at this time was operated by the Mexican based multinational CeMex company which took over from RMC in 2005.
A bunch of local log truckers got together to do a charity run for a dying friend. The best part was that Toad got to drive his truck in to town-at the head of the 28 truck convoy!
I'm proud to say that I was a part of it. With the donations from the loads, a free will offering afterwards and a charity auction we raised $28 000 for his family!

Moved a couple loads of Bus Panels from two places for Darren and only glad to help.
I wish i had brought a lorry sheet for this lot -but after strapping down -nothing was lost on the short trips...
Day 4 shows the variety of “play” relaxation activities I totally enjoy - variations of childhood activities: draw; paint; read; see; knit; make up stories, walk, etc.

Paul Nichols, 'Supreme' Waltzer
Buckingham, 14 October 2022
After a year away, Paul Nichols's Waltzer returned to its usual position. Although he said when I last saw it in 2019 he was intending to have it rebuilt as an articulated load, Covid presumaby put paid to that and it is still in the same form with the same pair of venerable ERFs on transport duties.
Looking very much like a container itself, 155 147-2 passes Wilhelmsburg on the outskirts of Hamburg with a loaded container train.

USS Bon Homme Richard (CV/CVA-31) was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers completed during or shortly after World War II for the United States Navy. She was the second US Navy ship to bear the name, the first one being named for John Paul Jones's famous Revolutionary War frigate by the same name. Jones had named that ship, usually rendered in more correct French as Bonhomme Richard, to honor Benjamin Franklin, the American Commissioner at Paris, whose Poor Richard's Almanac had been published in France under the title Les Maximes du Bonhomme Richard.
Bon Homme Richard was commissioned in November 1944, and served in the final campaigns of the Pacific Theater of Operations, earning one battle star. Decommissioned shortly after the end of the war, she was recommissioned in 1951 for the Korean War. In her second career she operated exclusively in the Pacific, playing a prominent role in the Korean War, for which she earned five battle stars, and the Vietnam War. She was modernized and recommissioned in 1955. She was decommissioned in 1971, and scrapped in 1992.
Construction and commissioning
Bon Homme Richard (CV-31) was laid down on 1 February 1943 at the New York Navy Yard, being the first Essex-class carrier to be built at the New York Navy Yard.[1][nb 1] She was launched 29 April 1944 by Mrs. John S. McCain, wife of Vice Admiral John S. McCain, Sr.. The ship was commissioned 26 November 1944, with Captain A. O. Rule, Jr. as her first commander.[3]
Service history
World War II
Bon Homme Richard departed Norfolk, Virginia on 19 March 1945 to join the Pacific Fleet and arrived at Pearl Harbor on 5 April 1945. Following additional training in Hawaiian waters, the carrier joined TF 38 off Okinawa on 6 June 1945 with Carrier Air Group 91 (CVG-91) aboard. During 7–10 June she joined in the attacks on Okidaitōjima and then served with the 3rd Fleet during the air strikes against Japan from 2 July to 15 August. She remained off Japan until 16 September 1945 and after a short training period off Guam, proceeded to San Francisco, arriving 20 October. She left San Francisco 29 October and steamed to Pearl Harbor to undergo conversion for troop transport duty. From 8 November 1945 to 16 January 1946 she made trans-Pacific voyages, returning servicemen to the United States. She was thereafter generally inactive until decommissioning on 9 January 1947. She was mothballed at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington.
Korean War
The outbreak of the Korean War on 25 June 1950 called Bon Homme Richard back to active duty. She recommissioned on 15 January 1951 in an unmodernised state and joined TF 77 off Korea on 29 May and launched the first air strikes of CVG-102 on 31 May. Bon Homme Richard continued operations with TF 77 until 20 November 1951. The carrier reached San Diego in mid-December and on 20 May 1952 was off again to the Far East, this time with CVG-7.She joined TF 77 once more on 23 June and took part in the heavy strikes against the Sui-ho Dam on 24–25 June and the amphibious feint at Kojo from 12 to 16 October. She continued operations against North Korean targets until 18 December 1952 and then steamed to San Francisco where she arrived 8 January 1953. Her classification was changed from CV-31 to CVA-31 on 1 October 1952.
Modernization and Cold War
Bon Homme Richard then went out of commission on 15 May 1953 preparatory to modernization at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard. She was one of three Essex-class carriers to receive the SCB-27C and SCB-125 modernizations on one refit. Bon Homme Richard emerged from the shipyard with an angled and strengthened flight deck, enclosed "hurricane" bow, steam catapults, a new island, wider beam and many other improvements. She completed her conversion period 31 October 1955 and commenced sea trials in the Alameda-San Diego area. She was recommissioned on 6 September 1955 and began the first of a long series of 7th Fleet deployments on 16 August 1956 with CVG-21 embarked. CVG-5 reported aboard for the 1957 deployment, before CVG-19 reported aboard for the next six deployments in 1958–1959, 1959–1960, 1961, 1962–1963, 1964, and 1965-66. The 1964 cruise included a voyage into the Indian Ocean. Bon Homme Richard also had been in the Indian Ocean for a goodwill trip to Bombay, India at the direction of President Eisenhower during the 1959-1960 Pacific cruise.
Vietnam War
Admiral George Stephen Morrison, father of The Doors lead singer Jim Morrison, flew his flag on Bon Homme Richard. Popular myth has it that he had some involvement in the Tonkin Gulf Incident, because he was commander of the U.S. naval forces in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident of August 1964.[4][circular reference] The aircraft carrier involved in the incident was the Ticonderoga.[5] The Vietnam War escalation in early 1965 brought Bon Homme Richard into a third armed conflict, and she deployed on five Southeast Asia combat tours over the next six years. Her aircraft battled North Vietnamese MiGs on many occasions, downing several, as well as striking transportation and infrastructure targets. Occasional excursions to other Asian areas provided some variety to her operations. Carrier Air Wing 21 (CVW-21) joined the Bonnie Dick for the 1967 deployment to Vietnam. CVW-5 was aboard again for the last three deployments in 1968, 1969, and 1970. Bon Homme Richard was ordered inactivated at the end of her 1970 deployment. She was decommissioned on 2 July 1971, becoming part of the Reserve Fleet at Bremerton, Washington. Adm. Morrison was the keynote speaker at the Decommissioning Ceremony on 2 July 1971 which was one day before his estranged son, Jim, died in Paris, France.[6]
Following 20 years in mothballs, she was sold for scrap in March 1992. She was scrapped at Southwest Marine's yard in San Pedro, California.
Awards
Bon Homme Richard received one battle star for her World War II service, and five for the Korean War.[7] The Bon Homme Richard received three Navy Unit Citations (NUC): One NUC for actions during the Korean War; one NUC for actions during the Vietnam War in 1967 and a third NUC for actions during the Vietnam War in 1968. In 1972, however, the 1967 NUC was replaced with a Presidential Unit Citation (PUC) from president Richard Nixon. Therefore, the ship received a total of two NUC's and one PUC.

This one is lighter than the one I previously posted. This one has a guide bullet starter, but was not made with a false muzzle. Like the heavier one, it was intended to shoot an elongated bullet and is rifled with the fast, gain-twist, six groove rifling that Lewis was noted for. This rifle has been "re-homed" since these photos were taken.
Whilst we where restoring my own Westfield AEC, and having already restored the Westfield trailer, the next logical step was to have a textile machine in an original Westfield cradle as a load for it, and as It would have worked.
These textile machine's vary in length and width depending on the manufacturer, the machine that we acquired was a 60 foot 'Bentley Cotton', all of it was available, but with the trailer being only 32 foot we decided to just have half of it, and they would have been split if being transported any distance anyway.
It's being loaded with a 10 ton capacity American built 'Towmotor' forklift, picking the machine up like this would have ruined it, with such small clearances involved in these machines, that's why a cradle was used.
There are a few "nevers" on this page - I've never handmade flower embellishments, and I've never printed out a digital element and written on it (journaling spot by Meredith Fenwick). I've also never made such a girly layout for Jack! In my defense, nothing says masculine like a giant mushroom. You can't tell from the photo, but the white cardstock is dotted swiss. The little worm is from a butterfly net Jack got as a gift. Photo is by Spark! Photography in Fairbanks, AK. TFL!

I tried to pick bright summery feminine papers and embellishments. i am thrilled that i was able to do a decent job of lifting Maggies style that uses lots of stitching with no real stitching....lol

Unloading (or maybe loading) a load of livestock, probably hogs, who were squealing like pigs. Who’s to say if they were squeals of joy, terror, or ambivalence.
Loading the Glenora Ferry is a bit of a science to ensure maximum number of vehicles on board. This Loadmaster is making every inch is utilized.
My punch broke! I was planning different sized circles and the mid-size broke! Bummer! Anyway, many of the circles are punched from papers used in this year's LOAD crop. The journaling reads: "My goal in 2015 is to CHRONICLE my life stories - yesterday's and today's. Thus far, on 27th February, I've kept up the pace and I'm on target!* Thanks to LOAD 215, I'm having a great adventure, telling lots of stories! Cheers~"
Too bad LOAD can't go all year!
* I am chronicling at least one story a day tho' not all are layouts.
Perhaps not a landmark in the strictest sense of the word, but a much anticipated part of our Reunion Experience. 😊
i used frosted flakes as my color inspiration, and somehow that twisted into using blue, a color i rarely use. it was perfect for my kiddos party photos. now i just need to finish page two.
