6 June 2010: The Doctor Is REALLY In

Well, now it is really official - Michael graduated with his doctorate in pyschology. It was a great to see him so happy and excited! You may remember his party I catered back in April - http://wide-angle-lens.blogspot.com/2010/04/27-april-2010-doctor-is-in.html - but now he has the piece of paper proving he is done! Very proud of you, Dr. LaFarr!

27 April 2010: The Doctor Is In

My best friend completed his Psychological Doctorate and now he expects me to call him Doctor! He had his research colloquium and a party which I catered. Here is the nearly minted doctor (not quite official until June.) And another shot of the cakepops from a couple days ago - I was too busy with the hot food to get more pictures of the rest of the set up. It was a great accomplishment for him and he worked hard for it. Friends, family, colleagues, former students all came together to celebrate his accomplishment. Breathe a sigh of relief Dr. LaFarr - you've done it!

11 October 2009 Photo(s): Pumpkins And Apples And Sprained Ankles...OH MY!

It started out as a perfect fall day - the sun was shining...the air was crisp...the pumpkins and apples were plentiful. We took off early this morning to head to Tim's Pumpkin Patch to pick pumpkins, get cider and take some photographs. We bought 10 pumpkins to decorate around the house...big one, little ones, traditional ones and slightly ill shaped ones (they will make their appearance on the blog at a later date).

After that, we headed to Beak and Skiff to pick apples...here is where the day went terribly wrong. I was trying to get all creative and climbed the ladder - not to pick apples but to take pictures. Stupidly I was not paying attention and lost my balance on the ladder - crash, boom, twist - and I was on the ground. I still say Bill pushed me :) no not really - but when he asked if I was ok, first thing I asked about was my camera!

Two and a half hours in Urgent Care to find out the ankle was not broken. Let me tell you, it hurts like HELL! You can see me screaming in the second picture. I am hoping it is feeling better soon because I am not a good patient; however, I am resting (uncomfortable), taking Aleve (like candy) and Bill is taking care of me (like a princess).

The last picture was taken before the sprained ankle...if you click on it you can see it looks more like a painting than a photo.

Our apple trees have little apples on the branches. Last year we did have some edible apples and we will see how this year's go.
