Rockwood House
Our company, Namozine Properties, purchased this property to renovate. Lots of work to get this one in shape, but it's going to be a little gem. It's in a great neighborhood, and is going to make someone a great first home.
Bill's Funeral - Gathering at Our House
Family and friends stopped by to visit after the funeral services
Orlando 2011
We took a trip to Central Florida to help my 80+ year-old in-laws get down to visit her sister and husband. While we were there, we did the theme-park shuffle at the Disney parks: Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot (which was having their Wine and Food festival).
Photo Experiments
Long-exposure shots of burning steel wool and flashlights on the beach at Corolla, NC
The Transformation
A shot per day of my journey from 257 pounds down to ....(TBD). The idea is to have a time lapse that shows the transformation in a short period of time. The pics are taken from the same spot, with approximately the same clothes and the camera in the same spot every time
Belle Isle and Flood Wall
Went down there at dusk with John, Yvette, Haley, Jake, and Josh to take pictures.
Josh's Leaf Loader
Josh bought a new leaf loader for his lawn care business. This 13HP machine has an impeller with heavy duty blades that reduces the leaves to about 1/12 of their original volume. Thanksgiving morning, I helped him to build a box on his trailer to hold about 300 cubic feet of leaves. He should be able to do several jobs with that much storage. We still have some work to do on the gate on the back of the box, but got a lot done.
stuff i saw today: 11.13.2010
Had a couple of GCN Rehearsals, and went with Lindsey and Josh to the UR-Rhode Island game at Robins Stadium
GCN 2010 - All Around
Pictures from various places around WEAG during the preparations for the 2010 version of Glorious Christmas Nights.
GCN 2010 - The Ingenious Bandstand Storage Solution
Taking the bandstand, with its myriad electrical and sound connections, apart two times each week is much too time consuming. So, our genius engineer types developed a solution to minimize the amount of time required. The stands and trusses need to be put up and taken down twice per week, but all of the bandstand elements can remained connected. This way, we have the entire stage available for rehearsals during the week. This is very important to the director to be able to place people accurately in their scenes,and have them understand traffic patterns, as a couple of scenes have HUGE numbers of people in them.
GCN 2010 - It Takes a Lot of Faces
Impromptu snapshot portraits of the diversity of characters in Glorious Christmas Nights, a production by the West End Assembly of God in Richmond, VA. All told, there are about 400 people involved in the cast and crew.
Pine Forest - Hornet's Nest
We were power washing the garage, and stumbled across this huge hornet's nest in the back. Luckily, the hornets were gone for the year. Mom thinks they set up camp there because it was so close to a big fig tree right beside the garage.
Glen Allen Day Parade
Every year in September, we celebrate Glen Allen Day. It's sponsored by the Ruritans. They have a parade down Mountain Road from the Glen Allen Supermarket to Crump Park. They have a lot of activities for kids and families at the Park. We didn't go to the Park today, because we went to Pine Forest to do some work on Mom's house. We did, however, get to see the parade go by, because it runs right by the house.
Master's Plan - Missouri Project
A condensation of the Master's Plan in one act. Performed by Carrie Amburgey, James Opher, me, Kara Laughlin Smith, Abigail Landrum, Heather Tobey, and Katelyn Dalton. Directed by Kathy Craddock, and sound engineering by Leo Cecil. We performed it one time in Joplin, Missouri, for a convention of travel agents.
Lindsey RMC Swimming Senior Day
Of 14 girls she started with as a Freshman, Lindsey was the only one to stick it out for 4 years.

Taken outside the Dedmon Center at Radford University, along the New River

Josh removing the engine from his Civic to rebuild: new crank, bearings, rings Also, unfortunately, pics of it the day after his accident
Josh - work on Civic
Part of Josh's experimenting with his Honda Civic - adding a turbo and new injectors, and a new ecu, etc.
Beach Vacation 2007
Our annual trip to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. We're in Corolla for the 8th or 9th year in a row. l I think this is the 27th consecutive year Debbie and I have been on the Outer Banks for a vacation.
Childhood Neighborhood
the neighborhood where my parents had an apartment, and the church (well, the land, anyway - the church has been sold and torn down) where we attended until I was in my teens.
Trip Back from Hatteras
pics on the way back from Courtney and Chris' wedding in Hatteras, NC. All the pictures before this were part of the wedding shoot, on Josh's gear
Trip to Ironworks DC Office
Went up to Tyson's Corner to do some Ektron CMS training for the staff of IDSA
Down by the James River
Josh and I went down to the Pony Pasture on the James River. It was near dark, and we wanted to catch a look at the sunset - missed that, but the colors on the water were nice. He showed me the rope swing that they have used before when they were there with their friends
April Snow!
We finally got more than a dusting of snow, but it came on April 7. Didn't last long, through - by noon it was pretty much melted.
Slovakia
We traveled to several cities in Slovakia with a choir from West End Assembly of God. We did concerts in Bratislava, Zilina, Proprad, and Kosice. We took side trips to visit Spissky Hrad, a castle that dates from the 8th century, and Lomnicky Stit, an 8600 foot mountain, in the High Tatras near the border with Poland.
Hunting with Dad and John
2005, I think - this was the first time in more than 10 years that John and I and Dad had hunted together. We got to hunt on a piece of private land just south of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Augusta County, VA, north of the North Fork of the Tye River
Orlando 2004
Deb, Lindsey, Josh, and I went to Disney World, Sea World and MGM in December (15-22) 2004 with in-laws Bill and Doris, Lisa Hinton and Philip, and Chris Hinton and Courtney Salyers, and Carey Hinton.

Vacation with the whole Reid clan, in from Tulsa, Atlanta, Charlotte, Richmond, and Crewe (VA)
Dad's House
Mom and Dad built their retirement home in Nottoway County, VA (about 2 miles from Crewe, and 55 miles southwest of Richmond). It's on part of my grandfather's old farm. There's also some pictures in here of the rest of the farm: my grandpa Johnnie's house, and my great-grandpa Amos Rice's house (which is now pretty much overgrown with trees and brush).
Brazil Mission Trip
Lindsey and Josh went with some of the youth from WEAG to Brazil to help Roberto Pena build a technical school in Sao Paolo
