Andy’s Red, White, and Blue Parfait
How could I be with this guy for seven years and not have had “his” red white & blue parfait? Last time he said “I think I’ll make ‘my’ such-and-such” was about something else he made in this 13×9 Pyrex dish– “My breakfast casserole” —after we had been together for six years! You got any other tricks up your sleeve, honey?

Happy Fourth of July
To all my friends and family I hope that July 4th brings you pride and a sense of country. Even with my limited abilities i went out and put up Flag & bunting to show our pride today!

Beautiful work, honey. I like seeing the patriotism at our house and our neighbor’s. (And fortunately your abilities are only temporarily limited while you recover from your shoulder surgery.)

Andy & I are so blessed! We had a great Valentine’s Day and a double date with our friends Sean & Cody at Mi Pátio. This photo was taken by Cody with my camera.

Just thought I’d reblog this on our family blog to reflect on our eclectic spirituality…

Lady’s First Christmas at the Smithers-Greene
Lady says, "Hats are not the fashion for canines such as me; nevertheless, noblesse oblige!"
Sir Buxley Smithers-Greene also deigned to pose in a holiday costume.
A noble hound indeed!

My husband Andy decided to put on a pink shirt, red tie, and wear my red zip-up fleece vest today. I made us a strawberry-banana smoothie. I figured a photo of Andy toasting the holiday with a pink smoothie in front of all of his pink and red would be cute. Unfortunately, he was in a hurry to go to work, so when I asked him to smile, his expression was frighteningly fake-looking. So I just cropped the photo down to the pink and red, and I’m sure Andy does join me in wishing one and all a very happy and healthy Valentine’s Day– even though he had to hurry off to work.

Looking at photographs I’ve taken of people helps me to remember how much I love them. When I look at this photo I took of my dad, I regard him with love.
This is a candid shot of my dad looking down at his plate during Thanksgiving dinner.

Happy Chanukah – 7th Night
Originally uploaded by danielgreene.I find it challenging to do anything "religiously" (i.e. "consistently," pun intended), and remembering to take a photo of the chanukiah each night of Chanukah this year was no exception. It’s enough just to remember to light the candles (or, in this case, turn the light bulbs) each night at sundown, much less remember to take a photo of it after dark. So, forgive me for only offering the first and second nights, and the seventh (and if I remember tonight) the eighth nights.
I decided to take this one with my better camera, and I went for a different angle this time because I liked the way the lights were reflected not once but twice in the dual-pane window.
On another note, (More …)

We’re not afraid to say it: Happy Chanukah!
We’re not afraid to say it:
Happy Chanukah!
Originally uploaded by danielgreene.Our home’s chanukiah (the proper term for a Chanukah menorah) on the first night of Chanukah. It’s displayed prominently in the front kitchen window, facing the street.
The title of this photo is a reference to some Christian people’s response to secularism, in particular, a BBQ restaurant sign in Nashville, TN I photographed that said, "We’re not afraid to say it: Merry Christmas!"
By the way, those are multicolored LED Christmas lights reflecting off the chrome of the chanukiah. We are an "interfaith" couple; besides, I grew up celebrating Christmas in a secular or, let’s be honest about it, pagan way. What’s all the fuss about anyway, folks? Don’t know know why Christmas, Chanukah, and Ramadan are all around the same time? They are religious overlays to a pagan foundation of celebrating the winter solstice! If you ask me, we’re all just trying to cheer ourselves up by lighting candles, stringing lights, and giving gifts at this, the darkest and coldest time of the year.
