2024 Calendar

Now that Christmas has come and gone, we can unveil the cover to this year’s calendar gift, given annually to my mom and sister, and made up of pictures I have taken throughout the year.  I imagine I will be able to squeeze out one more version of this next year, but, with both Angelina and Danny graduating and Michael still mostly homebound, that will probably be it.  As in year’s past. the calendar was produced by the good folks at Shutterfly and we will unveil each month’s photo(s) on the first day of the month throughout 2024.

This year’s cover features Michael posing with his parents prior to his high school graduation this past June and Angelina and Danny posing with their Nana at the band tailgate prior to Danny’s Senior Day at the last Purdue football game of the year last month.

It’s Hard To Hold A Candle

We are entering the home stretch of 2023, and, to prepare for Danny’s upcoming birthday, we have various shots of him from the 2022 Purdue football season.  From left to right, he’s outside the co-rec heading to Slayter Hill for the band’s pre-game performance, finishing lunch following the pre-game practice, and standing on the sidelines of Ross-Ade waiting to take the field.

The Dog Days

As summer winds down and everyone gets ready to head back to school, we turn the page to August with a pair of pictures of Angelina with signs.  First, she poses with her Nana beneath the sign for the now-closed Ida’s Restaurant in Boston.  In the other photo, her and Danny find themselves below the marquee for Mercury Theater from our visit in November to see the stage production of Clue.
