Cameras #15 and #16 (and #17, sort of)

The c.d.'s I had made for cameras #13 and #14 are currently M.I.A., but rather than keep the next set of photos from you all, I'm posting the pics from cameras #15 and #16 and I'll post the pics from #13 and #14 when they turn up.

Also, camera #17 didn't have any pictures on it at all, so there is no camera #17.

Here are the pictures from camera #15 (click to enlarge):









And here is the web album for camera #16:

Another Sad Goodbye; I Love You, Mitzi

My parents had to put our family cat, Mittens, to sleep this morning. She was suffering from kidney failure and, unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done to help her. Mittens was 21 years old.

I grew up with Mittens and so I'm very sad about losing her. I know that she had a great life, and a long one at that. She is very loved.

The Story of Mittens:

Just before Christmas of 1987, our next door neighbors' cat, Mittens, jumped off their roof and hurt one of her legs when she fell. The neighbors were in the process of moving when this happened and they moved away without Mittens. We found her in our bushes a few days later, barely able to walk.

My parents told us (Sara and I-- Laura wasn't born yet) that we had an important choice to make. We could keep Mittens as our own pet and take her to the vet to get help but have fewer toys for Christmas, or we could have a regular Christmas with no Mittens. Needless to say, we picked Mittens. And she stayed with us for 20 years!

Mittens was the best Christmas present I've ever gotten. I'll miss her so much. :(



This really dark picture of Mittens is the only one stored on my computer. She and Radar look a lot alike.

Soup Blog Becomes Recipe Blog

Elliot and I have decided to change the soup blog to a recipe blog! So, souperduper.blogspot.com will no longer be limited to soups but will include desserts, sandwiches, pasta dishes... the list goes on and on.

Please send me your favorite recipes. Elliot and I love to cook not-terribly-complicated vegetarian dishes. And we looooooooove desserts.

Here is proof that I love eating, and that I sometimes can convince other people that they like to eat, too:




Elliot actually made the sauce on the pasta that Kelli and I are eating in this photo! He's a good cook.

Cat Depot

Three years ago, my sister and I adopted our lovely lady cat, Radar, from a no-kill shelter called Cat Depot.

In 2003, the people at Cat Depot rescued over 200 cats from another shelter that was mistreating them, and Radar was one of those cats. She had a very rough life living in a "shelter" where cats were being starved and dying from diseases. The people at Cat Depot have good hearts and their organization continues to take in cats that need to find forever homes.

I've decided to adopt Cat Depot as the charity that I will send donations to when I have a little bit of extra money to give to a charitable cause. They took good care of Radar and I want to make sure that other families can be as lucky as mine when they decide to bring a new cat into their home.

Cat Depot's website: http://www.catdepot.org/Info.htm

I have also put a link to the website on the right side of this blog page, below the list of labels.

Camera #11

Here are the pictures from camera #11. No album this time. Just click on the picture to enlarge it. You can copy it to your computer once you click on it.





Good-bye, Nori

My little snail Nori has passed away. He lived at my house, in Kenji's fish tank, for 6 months. I'd imagine that's a long time for a snail.

Kenji won't be lonely, though. Nori has left some baby snails to keep him company.

Last 468 Wedding Reception Photos

Reception Photos From Laura

My sister Laura did a wonderful job of documenting the wedding reception last night using her new camera. She has shared all 568 photos with me. Yay!

I have included a web album, below, of the first 100 photos. Just click on the picture and it will allow you to access the web album. Once you open up the web album, you should be able to store the pictures on your own computer. If you have any trouble, please email or call us and we will help you to save the pictures that you want. (Elliot is a computer programmer, so PLEASE don't hesitate to ask... he loves to do anything that involves a computer!)

The film from the disposable cameras will be developed soon, and I'll post the pictues ASAP.

Thank you again, Laura. If you ever want to start a career in wedding photography, you can use these photos for you first portfolio!
