A New Adventure

Over 400 pieces of painting and gluing. Should keep me busy for a while.

A Day at the Races

 Saturday was the annual Dragon Boat race at the beach. 

Competition was fierce as always.

 This year I knew a paddler. One of those guys in green is a former co-worker's son.

Everyone gives all they can give.

 Even while wearing crazy costumes.

The best place to be is in the water because it is a long hot day.

Finding a bit of shade is not easy on the boardwalk but it's even better if you have a catfish po boy...

...and a local craft beer.

Green Acres

 It just seems like yesterday that we started the garden.

Now we've got a jungle on our hands.

That broccoli was really good. Hard work pays off!

97!

 Mom was 97 on the June 7th.

 Today we gathered for cake and ice cream to celebrate.

 She seemed to enjoy herself.

 Daughter made a card but missed the event because of work. Her hubby showed up.

I made her a card. It's a shaker card. I had to cut out lots of little cupcakes for it.

97 and still going strong. Love ya Mom!

London Bus

 This is my latest model in the works.

One day it will look something like this.

 Right now it looks like this.

 I put material on the seats instead of the decals.

 I carpeted under the seats with stick on felt.

 Here is the under carriage is finished.

 I painted it the way I wanted.

The engine is also done.

I used glass beads and jewelry wires from Micheal's for a more authentic look.
Right now I am about halfway through. In maybe a month or two I'll have it done.

Spring Planting

 My brother and I decided to dig up Mom's side yard and put in a vegetable garden. It was easier said than done.

We tilled in a load of compost and manure. Good times.

 A quick trip to Home Depot and we hope we have a rabbit proof fence.

 A trip to Southern States and we have a flat of cool weather crops.

My reward was a Ledo pizza for dinner. Hold the veggies.

A Happy Birthday!

Coffee on the boardwalk from Sweet Sue's. It was chilly but the sun was shining.

Stella enjoyed her morning out.

Maggie loves everything.

There has to be silly selfies.

The kids gave me something I really need.

Dinner was cake and roast. Mmmmmm........cake.
