Yeah. I got nothing.

Once again, I have been slack. One must admit, the will to blog has diminished considerably since Nacho and Emo have been away. Timmy, by his own admission, has tried to take up the slack, but failed miserably. It seems he doesn't understand that to be a successful blogger, you must not only read the blogs, but comment on them. He is starting to come around to see the benefits of blogging, however, and that is a step in the proper direction.

So, I have missed some more fantastic holidays. I don't know who is responsible for coming up with these celebrations, but I think the gas fumes from the mower have finally got to them. Judge for yourself:

August 5 - National Failures Day/Take a Walk on the Moon Day
Hence the phrase, "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best" (Matthew J. Maxwell).

August 6 - National Fresh Breath Day
If only you could remember where you put your toothbrush last August 6th.

August 7 - Sea Serpent Day
Isn't Loch Ness a lake? I vote to rename this day: Legless Lake Lizard Day. I have been mowing as well.

August 8 - Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbour's Porch Night
Small town prank turns urban legend/holiday? This would be a good outreach project I think. Who doesn't love waking up to a fresh zucchini on their doorstep? Next Monday night, guys? Better a meal of vegetables where there is love, then a fattened calf with hatred. Prov. 15:17

August 9 - Dance a Polka Day
This may or may not be a certain Weird Al fan's birthday. If so, today's holiday is entirely appropriate. If not, it is Betty Boop's birthday, and I'm pretty sure she looks like a girl who digs accordians.

August 10 - Spoil Your Dog Day
So I did. I said "Hey, Duke". And then I went into the house and closed the door.

August 11 - Dog Days End
Just when we were getting close.

Tomorrow I am off to shoot another wedding. This will be my 3rd of the summer, 2 more to go. It really is a priviledge to be part of each couple's celebration and to get to know new people. I still get nervous about ruining precious memories, but God has been awesome. Whenever I get a great shot, I know that it is because He has positioned the sun & clouds in the right spot or put a great idea in my head (or someone else's). Here
are a few shots of Orlando & Amanda's day.
