President Gerald Rudolph Ford
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — Former President Gerald R. Ford, who declared “Our long national nightmare is over” as he replaced Richard Nixon but may have doomed his own chances of election by pardoning his disgraced predecessor, has died. He was 93.
The nation’s 38th president, and the only one not elected to the office or the vice presidency, died at his desert home at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday.

Seasons Greetings
I got a card in the mail today from my sister back in Missouri. It reminded me of the cards that Grandma (on Dad’s side) would give us when we were kids. It’s a beautiful card and got me to thinking. I should send her a card too, something special. They say that homemade gifts are more thoughtful and since I have a new photo printer, let’s do something special! I hope she likes it. Here’s what I’ve done so far.
E.T. phone home
Here are a few pictures of my brother E.T. (Eric) and his friend Jason. They dropped by this morning on their way to Texas for the Red Bull Last Man Standing Race. He looks just just dad did when he was Eric’s age.
A family visit
Mom, Connie, and Jeanine dropped by for a visit today. Jeanine didn’t want me posting funny pictures on the site, so here’s a photoshopped “sketch” version of a picture I took. Don’t they look happy!
Here’s a photo of Connie that I played around with and tried to make it look like an old newspaper clipping.
