Don & Sandy's Home Page
Last update: Feb, 2011
2010 has now sort of "passed into the past" as we've floated along that river best known as "life"... Lots of things happened, so will send you to our
"diary site"
which shares things all the way back to the late 90's! Several nice snapshots from this period can
also be viewed at our
Picasa Website
with many "albums"... Constructing & fiddling with things on the web can also be seen in the links in the
comments table... go visit?
A couple other quick looks are our '97 wedding picture collection
and our upcoming (a little different when we actually go!)
Europe trip.
Enjoy!
The New House…(well, not so new now!)
We finished building our house in the fall of 2004 & moved in just before Christmas that year…Sandy & I had been "kicking that dog" about a new house over several years & finally got lucky with a nice place in the country to create something that's all "ours" – Palace in Nirvana!! Everything is the way we want it, instead of making changes to someone else's house…seems like Don recalls this being a "hobby" of someone we know (smoking his pipe) a couple dozen years ago in Enfield, London??
Here are a couple of
web links "in & around" the new house…enjoy!!
- Given the 17-dozen snaps that Don took (!), we decided to build a viewer for a selection of snaps…
- Planning to visit? Take a peek at the directions here (use the MIE "back" key to return)…Our development is called "Lake Five Estates" – click on the "overhead map" & look for "Lot 10". This triangular lot is an acre & a half on a southeast-facing hillside, with the widest part of the lot at the bottom of the hill. We're surrounded by common grounds, making the area almost 3 acres.
- Historical snapshot (Fall'03)…the house is now along the
rough ground, behind the grass area, near some of our neighbors (all of whom we have now met!), but
not too close…
- The collection of CoolPix snaps is online (text directories)
here...

Some years ago, Don spent many an hour thinking about "interesting stuff" & loading a Bio page to share a bit of a historical look; Sandy may do something like this when she has a little spare time at some point! If you have another hour or two on your hands after the bio, try the Shave Family Tree (secure server; ask Don for access) & Don's little photo album…all built up over several years.
A couple years back, two "complete strangers" were independently researching web stuff for their own family tree & came across Don's collection in 2003… they both shared huge amounts of invaluable additional information, which Don captured, along with some stuff from others. View several generations of Cousin Georgie Greening's Jolliffe Branch (the history of Don's Dad's Mum, going back to the 1700's) as well as Cousin Geoff Beck's Ruddlesdin Branch (the history of Don's Mum's Nan-Nan) with a collection of extra stuff to view…if you have Broadband access & PowerPoint enabled, this alternate view is worth 5 minutes! Happy clambering around!
A large number of technical reference sites exist on web pages around the world...Don tucked a few into his GE collection. Some other sites and (perhaps) interesting information are captured in Don's GE definitions page and you can also take a peek at Don's captured interviewing thoughts for some eGuidance. Don started Creative Logic Software in the mid-80's; a private computer consulting business.
There may be more to come here as we refold things around the site!!
And A Final Chuckle (or 2) for you...
Try out some (aging) FUN distractions to help get you through your day!
