Video Dream

I had this dream early this morning.

I walked into a crowded room and Kacie was there, as an adult, filming people with my new Nikon Coolpix digital camera. I watched her and noticed that she was simply aiming the camera at her subjects and not using the viewing screen . She explained that she didn't like using the viewer and preferred her way. She then asked me how to remove the memory chip from the camera and I told her that I had no idea and she disappeared.

kacie's t-shirt collection

As we all know Kacie loved t-shirts. She would splurge on expensive teeshirts just for the pure softness of the material... it almost was a worn in feeling. she loved tee-shirts that were made of really thin material. she also loved finding ironic t-shirts in thrift stores and she liked band tees. I know Gary saved all of her "baltimore" tees among others.  Gary, Maybe the next post you could make could be photos or a video of Kacie's t-shirt collection. I would like that. :) Thanks

A lamp, pottery, and paintings

Does anyone know where Kacie got the lamp? It has Saudi Arabia engraved on the top of it.

Shell Shop

I had this dream early this morning.

Kacie took me to a sea shell shop somewhere outside of Ocean City where a friend of hers was working. It was outdoors and it was a very sunny day. There was a sign that said Removal Sea Shell Shop. I asked Kacie why it was called Removal and she said it was because the shells had been removed from the ocean. I noticed a few shells that I wanted for our house and then Kacie walked over to her friend working there as a salesman and he looked liked Vince.

Kacie's Life Story As Only She Could Write It

Thought you might like to see how Gus is doing. Kacie and Jeff brought him to us eight years ago. He has adjusted well to island life and enjoys digging holes on the beach.

A Few More

I will post a lot more but I'm just playing with it now.

A Sampling Of Kacie's Life- Our First Attempt

Unlimited Possibilites For Kacie's Website

Nancy and I are going to get a digital camera this weekend so that I can photograph things and places that relate to Kacie's life and put them on her website. We have thousands of her personal items from her birth, childhood, teen years and adult years. Her bedroom is just full with toys, pictures, music, art, diaries, clothes, schoolwork, etc. that really tell her life story. I also plan to photograph her favorite places here on the island and the areas where I've scattered her ashes. My rough plan is to put maybe a dozen pictures on the site each week with the hope that these will stir some memories that we can comment on. There is enough material to keep the site going for many years. Chronological order would be just about impossible because of the amount of material. A video of her room is a possibility.

I need ideas. What would you like to see most of all? Where do I begin?

Old Kacie picture

Here is a picture of Kacie when she first got her car. I think Gary took this picture the first day she got her first carolla. I remember telling Kacie I really liked the picture so she framed it and gave it to me. She also left a message on the back. She used to call me monkey back in the day.

Kacie's Book Club Returns- Chapter 7

No wonder Kacie liked Atlas Shrugged so much. This chapter is awesome. Dagny and Henry show what they're really made of in this chapter. Henry's meeting with Dr. Potter and Dagny's meeting with Dr. Stadler really give us a idea of the direction that politicians and businessmen were headed in and how a lot of people are thinking in our day.

The chapter leaves us with a couple of questions. Is there really a man named John Galt? And what is Francisco up to? It doesn't seem possible that he could turn down Dagny's request for help so he must be up to something. It seems strange that he would be irritated what he found out that Dagny's new venture would be called the John Galt Line.

Ayn Rand's genius really is apparent in this chapter. She draws a clear line between the liberals and the conservatives and pulls us into the debate.
