NO...it's not what you think. I have inherited my daughters dog named "Baby". She is a mix, but people tell me resembles a breed called "Whipit". She is very intelligent and is accepting training very well.
She is a year old, has been spayed and current with most shots. She needs a good home so if you know of anyone who would like an affectionate loving dog, let me know.

I know all of you have heard about fantasy football and baseball, but have you heard about a website called Wall Street Survivor? It is actually a fantasy stock market game that helps you learn about the stock market. When you open a free account, it gives you $100,000 to invest as you wish. Your results are based on the actual stock market activity each day. I track my stocks every day and have learned a lot. Here is a link to the website. www.wallstreetsurvivor.com Give it a try....it's lots of fun!

The Inman Heritage Days were held is past weekend ( September 19-20-21 ) and Connie and I made the trip. Inman was the first place I ever remember living and it was a good visit. The Heritage Days weekend takes you back a few years in time and they had a large display of restored tractors and a few cars and trucks too. I was able to take my camera and take a few shots.

1952 Ford 8 N


1947 Oliver Row Crop 60

If you get a chance next year, make the trip to Inman Ga and take in the Heritage Days weekend which is the third weekend each September.

I'm trying out Apples Aperture 2 software for photo editing and management. Lots of cool features that I believe will really help enhance my images and catalogue/ organize all my shots. I'll keep everyone posted on how things are progressing and try to give some objective comments about my experience. You can take a look at this link. Aperture 2

Just received my new nikon 18-220mm zoom with VR lens a couple of days ago. So far I'm really impressed! I'm looking forward to sharing some great shots in the future.

I found myself in Meriwether County today on business and on the way back home was able to take a few pics of the County Courthouse in Greenville, The Methodist Church that my father served in Woodbury and the covered bridge in Imlac. I have wanted to visit the covered bridge that spans the Big Red Oak creek in the Imlac community. I found it on Covered Bridge Road about a mile off Ga Hwy 85 just north of the town of Woodbury. The covered bridge is the oldest ( 1840 ) and with the approach ( 391 total feet ) is the longest in the State of Georgia. I was also able to visit my great grandmothers home place in Alvaton. It was built around 1901 and has been remodeled and is actually for sale.


I have always been interested in the story in the 1950's of John Wallace and the events illustrated in the movie "Murder In Coweta County". I found the jail where Wilson Turner was held and released leading up to the dramatic car ( and truck ) chase that lead up to the murder. It's now a thrift store right off the Meriwether Courthouse square. If you want to learn more about this true story, you can find the book and the made for TV Movie starring Andy Griffin as John Wallace and Johnny Cash as Sheriff Lamar Potts from Coweta County at Amazon.com Click Here

I've though about creating my website for quite some time now. Over the last 10 years, I've developed and assisted with many websites for other people, but always thought it would be great to do my own website with my name and share my interests. I admit it felt a little strange securing the domain name "jeffpartridge.com", but I'm glad I did it before someone else could grab it. I am using "HostMonster.com" to host my website and was able to secure my domain name for free with them. I tend to do my homework (wish I could say that when I was in school) when I'm shopping and I found they were the best for what I wanted to do here. I'm really looking forward to this project and hope you find some things here that maybe interest you as well. There's lots of work to do so I better get to it.
