Below, you will find some of the pictures I have taken over the years. There are pictures from when my wife and I went on vacations as well as things I have done around the school.

Enjoy!


This picture was taken while Brandy and I were on our second honeymoon to Jamaica. This is on our balcony. The island was beautiful and the people were very friendly. We spent a week in Ocho Rios (means 8 rivers). We went snorkeling, which was Brandy's first time!	This picture, also taken on our second honeymoon, was on a sunset cruise on the Caribbean Sea. Brandy was kinda upset about wearing the skirt because she almost fell into the ocean when she couldn't move her legs while climing onto the catamaran!

On Thursday in Jamaica, we went on a horseback ride along the ocean. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a gimmick to try and sell us DVD's of pictures the guides took as we rode the horses through the ocean. The DVD's were $50; we didn't get one.	This was a trip that Brandy wanted to take. She told me that for her birthday she wanted to go somewhere she had never been. We loaded up our van and headed to Niagara Falls, New York.

Brandy loves to go camping in the summer. Her favorite past time is sitting by the fire and reading or just watching the fire dance around the wood. This is at our campsite out in Indiana. I have been camping at this site since 1976. I inherited the site after my mom passed away.	This past summer, August '09, me and Brandy went to see our first Jimmy Buffett concert. It was a great time! We have both wanted to go to one of his concerts for as long as we have been together - about 15 years!

One of our first vacations took us to Lake Tahoe in Nevada/California. We took our van and pointed it west and drove the whole way (along with four other friends and family). This shot is when we went on a brunch cruise on the lake...talk about breath-taking!	This picture is of me on the roof of the barn during set-up week at Kamp Dovetail. I am running P.A. wire. Kamp Dovetail is an overnight camp for disabled youngsters and young adults. The work is hard, the days are hot, and the sleep is scarce, but it is worth every minute!

Meet one of my puppies, well she is not really a puppy since she is 10. Her name is Taylor. She came to us when a friend of mine broke up with his girlfriend and neither of them could keep her. She is best friends with Nikki.	This is Nikki. She is the puppy we got when Brandy and I first moved into our house. She is 11 years old. Nikki is a schnauzer and is a great pet.

This is the youngest of our puppies, Lucy. Like Taylor, she is a Manchester Terrier, AKA Mini-Pin. If you ask her if she is cute, this is what she does! Lucy is a rescue from a shelter.	Talk about crashed out! Meet Leo, or "Whazup?" because he is one nosey beast! Leo is an albino ferret given to us by Mr. Wells. He is very playful and likes to chase Brandy around the house. Brandy often calls him the devil!

Check this out! This is the butterfly garden outside the science wing by the cafeteria before we got started. My Environmental Science Class during the 06-07 school year designed, dug, and planted the garden in the spring. In this picture, you can see the paint lines where the gardens were going to be planted.	This is just after we finished the part of the garden along the cafeteria. If you look at it now, the plants are huge and there are enormous flowers blooming in late July/early August. You can't even see the bird bath anymore!

Again, this is the butterfly garden just after completion. This is the section closest to the parking lot, just outside of the science wing. The plants here too are gigantic! The garden is very lush and full of life!	This is the section that is just outside the science wing. The plants are so enormous now that you can barely see the ugly propane tank! This project, I think, turned out to be a success!

The butterfly garden hard at work! I took this picture the following spring after it was planted.	The huge flowers! This is one of dozens of them that were in full bloom! They are about a foot in diameter.
