For Sale

Forrest and Daniel are trying to sell the Buick. It's Daniel's car and since he is planning on going to France, he will not need a classic car to drive in the United States, and he needs the money to fund his ministry in France. So, if anybody out there knows anyone who would like to have a really nice 1968 Buick GS-400 let us know.

                                 Forrest and Daniel have both put a lot of 
                                                         work in this car.

Restoring Old Photos


I have been working on restoring some old family photos, a couple of which you see above. The first one is a picture of my Grandmother, who was born in 1898. We think she is about 18 years old in the picture. The second one is a picture of my Dad probably made sometime around 1940. I have been learning to use Photoshop and it is amazing what it can do. The picture of my Dad  was in especially bad shape with creases, spots, and very dark, but with Photoshop and a lot of patience it was greatly improved.

Happy 25th Birthday Daniel!

Daniel's birthday was actually Saturday, but he and Magen were driving from Minneapolis, MN to Birmingham on Saturday, so there was no time for a birthday celebration and it was postponed until last night. Daniel wanted to eat at the Sumo Japanese Steakhouse so we did that and Andrew and Jen-Yu joined us. Afterward, we had birthday cake at our house. It is hard to believe that Daniel, my baby, my youngest, is 25 years old!
