Planting seeds……
Tomorrow I’m headed up to Shaker Village for what can best be called a family reunion. The folks that are coming to Shaker to join Jim and I are, in effect, family! We started a program to reward attendees that had attended four or more workshops, kind of a thank you and incentive program. What we never realized was that these people would transition from being great “customers” to being “truly great friends”! We got to know them as people, not just students! Over the years I’ve come to realize just how much our brothers and sisters in Christ and friends mean to us. God’s greatest gifts are the people he places in our lives. Nothing trumps the value of family and friends!
For the next few days I will try to get off some blog entries, but if I miss a day or two, please forgive me, I’ve got something more important to do, love on the great gifts God has allowed me to enjoy and make sure they know how thankful I am for them!
Blessings,
the pilgrim

Does the shaker community feel the same to photography as the Amish do?
Hard to say, the actual Shaker families have been gone from the Village for many, many years.
Bill,
I don’t know where the best place to put this link would be but please relocate it if you like.
Anyone with a Fuji XT-1 or those considering one here is the best video I have found. It is pretty long somewhere about an hour long http://youtu.be/_PYZ_jJKMBc the Fuji Guys go over just about all the features plus a little bit about the flash and grip.
Thanks, hope to have a gear page soon, could place it there!
Have a great time and tell all I wish I could have made it there. With the prison on lockdown all week and a grandson that wants to go squirrel hunting this weekend, it looks pretty dim that I can make it.
We miss you!!!
Well, Homer, if it’s on lockdown nobody is getting in or going out…so that’s no excuse! 🙂 Judge Dick
Ha!
