Professional Image Restoration
Have you had your old family
photographs sitting around for years
fading away? Damaged by age and
wear and not sure what to do?
Images stuck to glass, cracked, water
damage, or faded with no color or
contrast? All of these can be brought
back to life with some tender loving
care.
We specialize in custom restoration of
your old image taking the extra time
to ensure that all the detail of faded or
damaged images are properly done.
We have satisfied many customers
wanting to restore the memories past.
We can do custom composites of two or
more images combining them to make one
image.
Most places just scan the image and print as
is. We copy and restore the images back to
near original state. Once the image is
restored, we archive the images on CD or
DVD for safe keeping. We can copy and
restore prints, negatives, slides and
tin type prints.
While your originals are at our
studio, we store all of the originals
in a large fire safe so you can rest
at ease knowing that your originals
are safe while in our hands.
Bring your prized memories
to us when you need it done right!

eat and something else. Article over. Many loving ladies stress
about what to cook and some give up. They often wish they were
the natural Holly-homemaker that many of you tend to be. Unfortunately, ladies, you may overcomplicate things. While there are, perhaps, a few men who appreciate and have a palate for “pretty food”,
most men fall into a very predictable set of preferences I shall list
below to simplify your culinary confusion.
Quality – Contrary to what we may joke about at times, men are
not consistently human garbage disposals. At times, we can certainly
binge on the strangest things and, if other options are not available,
we will eat things that simply have mass with little or no nutritional
value. Many men may not know how to get their, but we appreciate
quality food. Aged beef, fresh vegetables, seasoned pork – anything
wrapped in bacon – is always preferred over processed food from a
restaurant or the frozen food section in the grocery store.
Quantity – The first morning in our new apartment, my bride of
one week cooked me breakfast. Now, don’t get me wrong, my wife is
a wonderful cook, but she learned an important lesson. After a certain amount of secrecy in the kitchen, she emerged and presented to
her new husband her domestic creation – one piece of bacon, one egg
and one piece of toast….!!! I probably shouldn’t have laughed….Men
dig quantity. Maybe it was growing up with step-brothers, having
sons or just the fact that food has always been considered a bit of a
reward for a job well-done – a sort of validation – quality food aplenty
makes a man feel loved and appreciated.
Caring – When I was a kid, my mom went to work and left me in
the care of the most awesome grandmother who ever lived. Regardless of whether I had a bad cold or a stomach bug, she would always nurse me back to health with 7up and Golden Archway cookies
(lemon or orange – I preferred orange). So, you can imagine my wife’s
response when I requested 7up and Golden Archway cookies the first
time in our young marriage I was under the weather. Sick, celebration and sometimes just “because”, going to some length to prepare
a meal that has associated emotional value is a way to communicate
“you are special” to your guy.
Creativity – I stand by my original advice. Meat and something
else. However, there are many different ways to do that. Meat and
potatoes, meat and veggies, meat and chips, meat and pasta, meat
and salad, meat and bacon! Meat and something seasoned different
ways, served at unexpected times of day (breakfast at suppertime)
and served in different things and on different things. Regardless of
how you slice the beef, bologna, sausage, chicken, turkey or salami
– it still comes down to meat and something else.
Now, to let you in on a really big man-secret. We really can cook.
See, cooking is like assembling the kids toys on Christmas Eve. Stepby-step instruction that involves meat and something else leads to
tasty treats. It is that simple. As our marriage has evolved, I now do
most of the cooking at my house. I enjoy it. So does my family. I’m
not just talking grilled hot dogs – fettuccine alfredo, gumbo, meat
and veggies, meat and potatoes, meat and beans, spaghetti, lasagna, nearly any breakfast dish and many desserts (stressed spelled
