The Danbury Parade

The little burg of Danbury just up the road had their fourth of July parade early and we attended with neighbors Pam and Lois. A great, small town parade and they were not stingy with the candy.

Mada ‘in Saleh 360 degrees

Here are some pictures from Mada ‘in Saleh taken with the Ricoh 360 camera. These are full 360 degree pictures so pan around.

An finally, the room where they spent the night – it has to be seen in full 360 to be appreciated.

A couple of weekends ago Crystal and Kai took a trip to the ancient Nabatean site at Mada ‘in Saleh. The age limit on the trip didn’t allow Nora to go so Ben and Nora did a day over in Bahrain. Crystal and Kai came back with some amazing pictures – here is the first batch.

Random March Gallery

It is like a brand new website! After months of inattention I’ve revisited the Jacobs family website and update the theme and gallery template. Here are a few pictures to start off with and there are lots more to come – the Mada’in Saleh trip and Kai’s trip to Tanzania are up next.

A Mostly Nora Gallery

Here are a few more recent pictures. This one is a bit heavy on pictures of Nora.

Crystal enjoys the backyard on a brisk evening.

During the crazy rains the snails came out. Nora managed to run one down and catch it.

He was given a temporary home in a bowl in the kitchen.

Nora with her pet snail.

It was time to let him go. You can see the standing water in the backyard from the crazy rains.

Go free!

Nora getting practice with an umbrella. Not too much cause to own one here but occasionally they come in handy.

Nora hams it up.

This day was blue and red. It started out just red but then she needed to match her shirt.

The first rule of looking good is always know where the cameras are.

Kai and Nora in line for cake after the Court of Honor.

Crystal’s performance in Handel’s most famous work

Crystal performs each winter in a seasonal production with a local choir. This is the third year of performing “Handel’s most famous work” and it was a fabulous show! Kai missed it due to other engagements but Nora and I had a great time getting dressed up for an evening of culture.
