- Photos by Antelope Street Photography - Our family gathers as often as possible, and the happiest get togethers occur in the summer at a small cabin on Antelope Street. The families’ photographic interests vary, as do their cameras and their knowledge. But they all have a desire to capture what they see, in a format that they can share with the rest of the family. Collectively, I call them the Antelope Street Photographers.

Hi, Margie… Regarding your having no published works, that’s too bad. Because you’re a good writer. More importantly, you’re a good thinker. I’m glad I came across your blog. Bill
Hi Bill, Thanks for the compliments. Your interesting life and adventures make for good reading too!
Hi Margie,
I wish you had let me known about your blog earlier. It is going to take some reading to get caught up with your thoughts, musings, experiences, and observations. Love what I have read so far and looking forward to reading more. Me thinks me sees a published work in the not so near future.
Happy writing.
I like to think of this blog as being like a book, except I can keep adding to the chapters as time goes on. This blog is as close to being published as I would ever want to be!
Lovely blog you have here. The Red House looks cool, I love your wild-wig gravatar, and a tip of the beanie to the Antelope Street Shutterbugs, especially for their very crisp frost photos!
Thank you Mark. I only wish I had your talent as an illustrator. Alas, not, so I have to content myself with photographs. Alas again, I am the least capable of the photographers in our Shutterbug family. But I am the most prolific… so the frost photos are mine.
By the way, I like how you have turned the Antelope Street Photographers into the Antelope Street Shutterbugs. I’ll have to call on some of my cartoonist friends to see if they can come up with a graphic for me!
What you said about invisible age made me really worried
So, first you a kid (seen but not heard), then you are a teenager (what the heck do you know about anything?), after you are a sleep-deprived mom of a newborn (self-explanatory), then you are a mom of a teenager (lame and very stupid, duh) – and after all that I will be in invisible stage?!
Love you blog.
Not to worry! Invisibility has advantages. I don’t mind being overlooked when someone is scanning for volunteers for something I don’t want to do. I enjoy expressing Righteous Indignation when I am overlooked for something I do want to do. And grovelling from others, when you point out you were ignored, is just fine too.
