What did you do on the first day of retirement?

You are right of course. Here is one of the stove more to your liking!

Love it, that is just awesome!

Thanks for the kind words.

A few years ago my wife and I went down to the local railroad where they have done several movies from the 1930's. It still has that look to it, so Katie got dressed up, as did I; and we took a bunch of photos. We used a camera set on a self-timer set on a tripod to take them.

We have done a bunch of photo shoots that way; Little Red Ridinghood, Trash the Dress, Librarian, Railroad, Mrs Clause, etc. They have come pretty good over the years. The funniest though was a set of her in front of our coal boiler of all things. The guys on a coal forum had helped me hook it up, so they jokingly said, "have Katie in front of it so we can see which is better looking, Katie or the boiler." I told Katie, and so she put on her little red dress and modeled in front of it to everyone's surprise.

Someday we want to do one of us dressed up as Bonnie and Clyde, but these came out pretty good.

Oh sure, Katie is quite the LumberJill, and does not mind posing in front of her favorite tractor now and then! (LOL)

That is quite the interesting hobby. Very different and unique. Very well done and thought out.

Good stuff! I don't dare show this to my wife... she will get ideas. She is probably at the thrift store as we speak pawing through vintage clothing for her. I don't need her working on 'outdating' my wardrobe. I'm happy with my bluejeans or shorts and a colored T shirt.

I showed it to my wife, she said the shoes didnt match the outfit. Lol
I asked her when she was going to pose like that, she said she needed red shoes... Lol
