Flashback Friday


When Liz married my brother, David, she only had nephews and was inheriting four more nephews. She planned to dress them all alike in these darling vests and bowties for the wedding reception. I think it was stunning and I love the pictures of them all... they took one picture (that I don't have) of her down on the floor in her poofy dress with all the nephews sitting on and around her dress... I'll have to see if she has a copy of that one. It was my favorite!

Now that we are back from our vacation, I don't want to run out of projects to do or I'll have to clean the house or feed my family. I recently scored this 1974 VW Beetle convertable. My buddy Mark lifted the body off of the running gear with his forklift so I can fix that up before I start on the body. Notice the nice clean area on the other side of the fence only ten feet away. Yep, my neighbors really hate me.

Red canoe


Just before we left for Island Park on our vacation I tried to borrow a canoe. I had given up until at the last minute, our friends Mark and Cheryl let us use this. I had no idea so many people would enjoy it so much. We had some fun quiet times on this trip. Mostly in this canoe. Notice the two ton garbage hauler in the background. My very clean and organized neighbors REALLY must hate me.
