Alaska Views

Views into our life in Florida

  I need to explain that I am learning to create a log as I create this one.
I an making some obvious mistakes along the way. I am a world famous
poor speller and a poor typist.  Photos are slow to load and sometimes
appear out of sequence or side ways. I am learning slowly and
maybe, someday, I can help you write you own.

This blog is supported by Goggle and is FREE.

The following photos are random shots of our life in Florida and
some cruse views.

  These shots are from Disney world.

  This is Epcot at just after sunset. I did not have a tripod, used the top of a trash can.

Time to meet Toby

  This is Toby.  He is a 3 year old Bichon and a mother's
boy all the way. Needless to say at 19 lbs. the rules the house.

  Time to meet my wife, Myrtice

  Myrtice , as you can see, likes to travel. cruising is her favorite.
She also like to shop, shop and shop. Seems to enjoy returning
items to the stores almost as much.  Currently she is using much
of my cash buying Kindle books. Anyone wishing to read used
paperback books should get in touch with her. We have a basement
FULL.

  Here are a few views of the HO railroad.

  Here the frame is complete.  Still have to create the top boards and finish.

Well now you you know about my life's work., I should tall about some of my many hobbies. Wood working was started after retirement and I like to create outdoor furniture and small indoor items.
  My first woodworking was to create the bench work for the HO railroad..Ham radio and photo shooting are other hobbies of mine.

 

  Butterflies are a favorite of mine alone with flowers. Also landscapes and waterfalls. People not so much.

James's Frames

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Most of you will already know me well but for the few that don't
I'll give a brief account of myself. I was born and grew in Alpharetta. Ga. in the area now known
as Windard. The year was 1936.  I attended Milton High school where I met my wife, Myrtice
Riding. We were married in 1957 and have two sons Matt  and Stan. We lived in Alpharetta
until 1991 when we moved to Plant City Fla. with my job for ten years.

My first job was in information processing, IBM punch cards at that time, and I worked the rest of
my working life in the industry.  I worked many years for the John Deere Co. as a computer
operator and operation manger.  Later I worked as a operations manger of IBM computer
main frames  and as a system programmer for three Telephone companies. One near home
in Alpharetta, later in Tampa Fl.

I was in the army from 1958 to 1960. That was a great learning and growing time both Myrtice and
myself. There was now war then and we were station at 6th. army HQ in San Francisco.

Myrtice and I now live in Ball Ground, Ga. with our dog Toby who you will, no doubt, see later.
