The waves are high and blue. I have almost forgotten work, deadlines and commuting. Sand between my toes. Think the boys and I will stay until the sun goes down.

Entry for July 14, 2006 Bike Trail

Posted on May 8, 2009 by George C. Hartman

A couple of weeks ago, Barb persuaded me to go on this bike trail in Hunderton County NJ. I have been biking with my boys down the shore in Allaire State Park, the last year or so and I thought that I had found THE best bike trail.

This trail was beyond amazing. We biked along the Great Gorge canal and ended up on a trail on a moutain looking down at the canal.

The smell of the peatmoss and fresh air, the views, the sun breaking through the trees….I was in awe. I can’t wait to take the boys!!! I have been snapping hundreds of photos in NYC the last few years…so it was a great thing for my camera to focus on soft bubbling streams, trees instead of skyscrapers and grass and rocks instead of concrete. A great escape with a great sister.

At this time I want to thank Joe Hoffman for the awesome photos that he took while he and Belinda were in Ohio. I felt like this web site had been “cheating” on the Ohio gang. Thank God, I have Gary and his wonderful camera in Florida and the recent trip there with Susan has tightened our relationships with them somewhat.

These photos by Joe are just JOYOUS! Your children are beautiful!!!!! I was thrilled to post these photos…my heart leaped. My favorites are Brittani with Joe, Rebecca and Jim sleeping in the chair…..and Brooke dancing in the air…..AWESOME.

As for this bike ride….I had a hard time keeping up to this 50 year old soon-to-be-GRANDMA…..check out that photo….does she look like a Grandma to you????

Entry for June 27, 2006 The worse digital nightmare

Posted on May 8, 2009 by George C. Hartman

..happened. A hard drive crash is a huge loss. And it couldn’t have happened at a worse time on the drive where most of my personal stuff is kept. 3 months of photos, work, experiments….etc etc….and some FT web stuff. I kept meaning to back the stuff up…..another lesson learned…..too late. As frustrating as it is to lose the web stuff….I had some nice photos of my boys…….gone…….forever. It is so permanent…a hard drive crash…..like a death…..so I quess crying is ok.

Posted on May 8, 2009 by George C. Hartman

Alongside our children is always OUR FAMILY….and our family will always be our spouses children…whether they are blood or not. Please send any current or old photos of your children…..your daughters and sons by marriage. I will put ANYTHING you request on their page. I would also like any LINKS that would be interesting for everyone to see. Do you have a “MySpace” link….or do any of your children have some news, poems, artwork???? Everyone would love to see it. First and foremost, we would like to cater to our children.
Hope all is well.
Weather is absolutlely AWESOME here in NYC today. The tourist are all over the place. Might be a beach day on Sunday.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Entry for May 22, 2006 Sorry about that

Posted on May 8, 2009 by George C. Hartman

I didn’t think it would ever happen. I wasn’t even sure people were coming to this site. Going to try an upgrade soon. There is always a “hitch” when they say something is free. PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARBARA!
