These Three Remain...

NASA is offering to take you to the moon for free! Well, sort of--your name, anyway. Read here for more information and instructions on how to send them your info, which will be placed on a microchip, which in turn will go hurdling through space on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to the moon itself. The deadline for submitting your name is tomorrow, June 27, 2008, if you like the idea of sending your name to where only 12 men have yet stepped foot--not quite "where no man has gone before," but close, don't you think? :P

I'm sure those of you that read this blog have begun to wonder if it will ever recover from its dormancy. I apologize again for its lack of activity the past few months, and won't even begin to list out all of the excuses. :P I'm afraid that this is a rather sporadicly-updated blog sometimes...That being said, I am planning on picking back up on the activity (Lord willing). Hopefully 'These Three Remain' will get, at the least, a new look sometime soon. :) Many, many thanks to my readers who have continued to visit this blog!

Hopefully sometime soon I will write out a longer "Life Update" post for you (much has been and is happening in my life), but in the meantime I will try to keep this blog busy with other things. :)

And I shall start with photography! One of my innumerable passions.

The other day I took my little four year-old sister (Becca) and Cody, the family's golden retriever puppy, on a walk down to the nearby pond. Though we didn't get to spend much time there (on account of the extreme heat, despite the fact that it was almost 5 PM), they seemed to have fun--"Baby Girl" (my own special nickname for my littlest sister) especially enjoyed seeing the ducks and watching the little minnows along the shore, while Cody had to be restrained from chasing the one and jumping in after the other. :P

Anyway, I took a camera with me: here's one of the results. :) (If it's not a large enough format, let me know, and I'll link to another version of it.)

I love hearing from you guys--please drop me a note if you get a chance!
