After a recent move, I rediscovered my dads catchers mask from his high school playing days. As a kid I remember dad would show my brother and I his old baseball stuff: from his uniform to his glove, bat and even mask.
The mask has seen its share of wear over the years, yet remarkably most of the leather is in great shape. It's now out for display in my living room and when friends come to visit, someone almost always asks about the piece. I'll just take the memories.
This is what happens when I go to change my desktop picture... I don't know if it's the plethora of pictures I have in the folder or something else, but this pretty much hangs up the system (you'll notice the CPU activity monitor, it was maxed for like 2-3 minutes).
Immediately after this picture was taken the memory started falling back down to normal levels. But while this was going on the virtual memory number just kept on going up!!!
Each is packed with 4-14 days of pictures and stories from every day we've ever travelled from 1999 to 2025. Restaurants, Hotels, Attractions, National Parks, they're all here. After our first trip we found within six months we couldn't remember exactly what we had done, so we decided to journal the next one, and then every one since, over 82 more trips.

Mickey Mouse is a funny animal cartoon character and the mascot of The Walt Disney Company. He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928. An anthropomorphic mouse whose face can be drawn as three black circles. Often he wears red shorts, large yellow shoes, and white gloves, Mickey is one of the world's most recognisable characters.
Mickey Mouse was created as a replacement for a prior Disney character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Walt Disney got the idea for the character from a mouse he saw in his Kansas City office. Initially, the character was to be named Mortimer Mouse, but Disney's wife Lillian Marie Bounds thought that name was too serious and not representative of the weaker members of the population. Therefore, the name Mickey was chosen. The character's depiction as a small mouse is personified through his diminutive stature and falsetto voice. Mickey's voice was originally provided by Walt Disney. Mickey debuted publicly in the short film Steamboat Willie (1928), one of the first sound cartoons. It was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Iwerks again served as the head animator, assisted by Les Clark, Johnny Cannon, Wilfred Jackson and Dick Lundy. This short was a nod to Buster Keaton's Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928) released earlier that year. Although it was the third Mickey cartoon produced, it was the first to find a distributor and thus is considered by The Disney Company as Mickey's debut. Mickey Mouse went on to appear in over 130 films, including The Band Concert (Wilfred Jackson, 1935), Brave Little Tailor (Burt Gillett, Bill Roberts, 1938), and the feature Fantasia (James Algar, a.o., 1940). The Band Concert (Wilfred Jackson, 1935) was Mickey's official first colour film. In 1932, he first appeared animated in colour in Parade of the Award Nominees. This film strip was created for the 5th Academy Awards ceremony and was not released to the public. In the production of The Band Concert (Wilfred Jackson, 1935), the Technicolor film process was used. Here Mickey conducted the William Tell Overture, but the band is swept up by a tornado. By colourizing and partially redesigning Mickey, Walt put Mickey back on top once again. Mickey reached new heights of popularity. Brave Little Tailor (Burt Gillett, Bill Roberts, 1938), was an adaptation of 'The Valiant Little Tailor', which was nominated for an Academy Award. In total, ten of Mickey's cartoons were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, one of which, Lend a Paw (Clyde Geronimi, 1941), won the award in 1942.
Mickey Mouse's original design strongly resembled Oswald the Rabbit. Ub Iwerks designed Mickey's body out of circles (distinctly, the ears) to make the character easy to animate. Over the years, Mickey's appearance changed considerably. Pretty soon, Disney managed to give Mickey a friendlier face. In the oldest comics, Mickey wears red shorts with big buttons. In later versions, he dresses ‘normally’. Furthermore, he wears gloves that he never takes off. In the 1930s, animator Fred Moore tried giving Mickey's body more of a pear shape to increase his acting range; Walt Disney liked this adaptation and declared, "That's the way I want Mickey to be drawn from now on." Mickey's character also changes quite a lot. In the first stories, he is predominantly a wanton little fellow who often plays strange pranks. Later, Mickey becomes much more serious and also quite sensible; Mickey is often the one who knows the right solution in difficult situations. Mickey generally appears alongside his steady girlfriend Minnie Mouse, and his friends Donald Duck and Goofy. Remarkably, his pet dog Pluto behaves completely animal-like in every way, being the only one of the regular characters in the Mickey Mouse stories. Together, Mickey, Donald Duck, and Goofy would go on several adventures. Several of the films by the comic trio are some of Mickey's most critically acclaimed films, including Mickey's Fire Brigade (Ben Sharpsteen, 1935), Moose Hunters (Ben Sharpsteen, 1937), Clock Cleaners (Ben Sharpsteen, 1937), Lonesome Ghosts (Burt Gillett, 1937), Boat Builders (Ben Sharpsteen, 1938), and Mickey's Trailer (Ben Sharpsteen, 1938). In 1939, Mickey appeared in Mickey's Surprise Party (Hamilton Luske, 1939), along with Minnie, with a new design, which included pupils. Later on, in 1940, the character appeared in his first feature-length film, Fantasia (James Algar, a.o., 1940). The film used the redesigned version of Mickey with the pupils. His screen role as The Sorcerer's Apprentice set to the symphonic poem of the same name by Paul Dukas, is perhaps the most famous segment of the film and one of Mickey's most iconic roles. The apprentice (Mickey), not willing to do his chores, puts on the sorcerer's magic hat after the sorcerer goes to bed and casts a spell on a broom, which causes the broom to come to life and perform the most tiring chore—filling up a deep well using two buckets of water. When the well eventually overflows, Mickey finds himself unable to control the broom, leading to a near-flood. After the segment ends, Mickey is seen in silhouette shaking hands with conductor Leopold Stokowski. Mickey has often been pictured in the red robe and blue sorcerer's hat in merchandising.
Since 1930, Mickey Mouse has been featured extensively in comic strips and comic books. From 13 January 1930 to 29 July 1995, Mickey Mouse existed as a newspaper comic strip, published in numerous countries around the world. After 1940, Mickey's popularity declined until his 1955 re-emergence as a daily children's television personality. Despite this, the character continued to appear regularly in animated shorts until 1943 (winning his only competitive Academy Award—with canine companion Pluto—for the short subject Lend a Paw) and again from 1946 to 1952. In these later cartoons, Mickey was often just a supporting character in his shorts. Pluto was instead used as the main character. The character was featured in television series such as The Mickey Mouse Club (1955–1996). The last regular installment of the Mickey Mouse film series came in 1953 with The Simple Things in which Mickey and Pluto go fishing and are pestered by a flock of seagulls. A fan club for Mickey Mouse was founded in the 1960s, which is unprecedentedly popular and has thousands of members worldwide. Mickey returned to theatrical animation with Mickey's Christmas Carol (Burny Mattinson, 1983) an adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' in which Mickey played Bob Cratchit. This was followed up with The Prince and the Pauper (George Scribner, 1990). His most recent theatrical cartoon short was Get a Horse! (Lauren MacMullan, 2013) which was preceded by Runaway Brain (Chris Bailey, 1995), while from 1999 to 2004, he appeared in direct-to-video features like Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (jun Falkenstein, a.o., 1999), Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers (Donovan Cook, 2004) and Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (Theresa Cullen, a.o., 2004). Mickey also appears in media such as video games as well as merchandising and is a meetable character at the Disney parks. He is one of the world's most recognizable and universally acclaimed fictional characters. In 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The back of the SD UHS-I card has nine electrical connections.
The back of the SD UHS-II card has a total of 17 electrical connections.
I had been using SD UHS-I memory cards in my X-Pro1. It was not until I purchased my Fuji X-Pro2 that I became aware of the existence of SD UHS-II memory cards. The X-Pro2 has two memory card slots. Both slots work with UHS-I and UHS-II cards. However, only slot #1 will allow the UHS-II cards to transfer data at higher speeds. If the USH-II card is placed in slot #2, it will transfer data at the slower UHS-I rate.

This one spot holds a lot of memories for me, and many other people. The plaques posted on its beams and columns bear the names of people who were married here.
For me, this was a prime meeting area for all the times I went to Sugar Mill Gardens to care for Tigger, a cat I eventually adopted. Tigger was usually close by the gazebo when I'd arrive, anticipating food, tuna, and catnip, and lots of attention. We would hang out there if it was raining. At one point, I placed a makeshift shelter for him there, under the bench on the left. I took a storage bin and turned it upside down, and cut a hole in the side. It made a good wind barrier for Tig on chilly nights. I would change his blankets regularly so he had clean, warm bedding.
Since this was a prime spot for a lot of folks to sit and rest, the garden staff was concerned about having Tigger's "house" and food there, since people might be allergic, or not really like cats, and he was very friendly, making his presence known to pretty much anyone who entered! So, through the next few months, the temporary housing moved from one remote location to another, and just when a fan of Tigger's from Australia had sent a wooden house for him which would be more permanent, a tropical storm threatened the area. I brought Tigger home to keep him safe, and never brought him back. The house was never used, but Tigger had found his forever home and person at last.
So many bowls of tuna, and bags of catnip were consumed in this spot! So many wonderful photos were taken from here. There were so many painful goodbyes, as I never liked walking away from Tig, even though I knew I'd be back the next day. There were only a couple of times that I couldn't find him right away when I went there. Each time I was frantic, searching for him everywhere until I found him, worrying that some cruel teenager might have hurt him or something. At one point, I began seeing things that made me suspect there were rituals going on in the gardens that weren't good. There were strange markings on the ground, and once I saw worms crawling in and out of a small mound of dirt. I suspected there was something dead in there, but didn't want to look. I began to fear more and more for Tigger's safety. When I finally did take him home, and saw how well he adapted, I knew he was my cat.
When I look at the gazebo now, I half expect to see Tigger's tail sticking out of a green box with a hole cut in the side. I expect to hear his insistent voice begging for more catnip. It is quiet, though, and empty, except for my memories.
This square was reserved for public use in the city's original survey and became the site of early church buildings. One hundred yards south of this point is a stone marking the site of the first Methodist Church erected in Georgia west of the Oconee River, in 1805. The earliest graves date from this period. Near the church site is a lot containing graves of legislators who died during legislative sessions in Milledgeville. None appear after 1845 when rail transportation became available. Those legislators who died in Milledgeville were: Senators, William W. Baker, Liberty Co., 1826; Nathaniel Bradford, Crawford Co., 1841; Robert Brown, Murray Co., 1838; Jonathan Lewis, Burke Co., 1834; George Galphin Nowlan, Effingham Co., 1816; Alexander M. Sanford, Bryan Co., 1843; James Thompson, Walker Co., 1840; and Representatives, John Bell, Decatur Co., 1827; Jacob Hentz, Baker Co., 1845; Aaron Jones, Lee Co., 1834; McLin Lunday, Screven Co., 1834; James Spalding, McIntosh Co., 1820; and Horatio Webb, Jackson Co., 1840.

I have lots of little things in my room, such as this fairy right here, which was given to me by my dad. I remember him buying it for me in a market. I was thinking yesterday about how I can remember absolutely nothing from the first 5 years of my life. Isn't that scary? All I have to rely on are photographs and my mother's shaky memory.
This was a custom memory mosaic of Zahn, a Greyhound. Made with different colored glass pieces, smalti, millefiori and beads. 8x8"
I bought this tin to hold recipes, for my mother, when I was very young , in the1950's.
When she died I had it back and now I keep my recipes in it and some of hers.

Psalm 127:3 Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him.
Day 6: I loved reading books to my children when they were small… They were always excited to read as well… They would crawl into my lap… We would talk about the pictures… Such quality time together… Dr. Seuss books were some of our favorite ones to read… I am thankful for this time I had to spend with my girls and for the memories of the times that my Mother also read to me…
Photograph taken in the golden hour around sunrise at 07:47am on Tuesday 1st January 2013 near Adventure Island Theme Park and the Western Esplanade beneath the old pier on the muddy shoreline of Southend on Sea, Essex, England.
So many childhood memories, so many hours spent here beneath the pier as a child. So many happy times spent here looking through the lens of my Nikons.

ABC of Midland Red Buses and Coaches, 2nd edition dated July 1949.
By this time Ian Allan were already well known for their railway spotters abcs and making their name on the road transport field too.
I clearly remember buying this particular example (from Daltons newsagents, in Soho Road, Handsworth) and, as can be seen, it has been well used since!
To look through it now (along with many others I still have) is a real memory trip with the then fleet list running from 857 (HA3779, a 35 seater QL type) to 3576 (MHA76, a 56 seater GD6 type) ... if only I could see either of them again!
