Most of these photos were taken with a used Canon EOS Digital Rebel purchased on
EBay. I am using a
Promaster 70-300mm
Telephoto lens for most of the sports shots. I also have a Canon 35-80mm zoom
lens. I just purchased a Canon 420EX Speedlite (also used on Ebay).
May 2008 - I finally broke my old Canon
Rebel, so purchased a new Canon Rebel XTi.
I just tried Web
Album Generator for making the photo pages (because it is free) and found it
quit user-friendly. It has a lot fewer options for customizing the webpages than
the Arles product below, but it is functional with a few options. If you like
"simple" and free, then this program is a winner.
I have used
Arles Image Web Page Creator
for the webpages. The Arles program makes it easy to take lots of
photos, create thumbnail images and index pages and resize original images for
web use. The original photos from the Canon Rebel are about 3 Megabytes each.
Too big to display over the internet. Arles resizes the photos automatically to
your choice of size.

Fireplace
We decided to remove our
old pre-fab steel fireplace (with gas log) and replace it with a new high
efficiency direct-vent fireplace. The first step was to remove the old fireplace
flue, from the top of the chimney down. This took the removal of the chimney cap
and some siding. Once the flue was removed, I disconnected the gas and
electrical connections to the fireplace. Finally, I removed the mantel and trim
from the interior wall, cut back the drywall to remove the crews holding the
fireplace and with a little muscle...the old unit was out.
I capped off the chimney where the
old flue exited, insulated the bottom 8 feet of the chimney chase, including
adding a false ceiling, and covered everything with 1/2 foil covered foam board.
We chose a
Regency
Panorama 42" with a Bay front. It is large, but fits well in our family room. We
paid to have the dealer deliver and install it, but really could have done it
myself I think. The installation did not include any of the interior trim work,
just putting it in the hole, hooking up the direct vent, gas and electrical
connections.
Once the unit was in and hooked up,
I completed the project by installing new tile surround (the old tile was
unusable because of the adhesive the builder used), reapplied the oak trim and
finally the mantel.
We really like the convenience of
the remote control to turn the fire on and off. It has an adjustable blower,
that comes on once the temperature gets to a certain point. You can adjust the
flame height (we keep it up pretty high), and the flames look really realistic.

August 2005 Highlights
We drove to Essex Junction, VT to visit with Jill, Alec, Anna, Robb and
Toby. The weather was wonderful (a delightful change from our normal expectation
of rain). We were able to visit the Vermont Air National Guard, kayak on the
Lamoille River, fish at the Indian Grove Reservoir and relax in the hospitality
of our hosts. It was a great vacation.
Summer State Swim Meets
Highlights
The LCB Swim Team celebrated the kids who were going to State with a party
at the pool.
Chris aged up (turned 15) just before Age Group State, so he swam in the Senior
Champs meet. He swam against Olympic hopefuls and lots of guys in their 20's and
30's. It was exciting to hear them announce the Olympic "cuts" before each
event. Chris finished a respectable 29th in the 200 Breast.
Brian was on 2 relay teams for the 11-12 Age Group Team. He swam the Fly in the
Medley Relay (LCB finished 9th) and was also on the Free Relay.
