Fond memories - May 3, 2003

Do you know what you were doing May 3, 2003?

If you are someone I know, then yes, you do.

No jail time, but the next day we did come back and make both our Jeeps muddy. This picture, so the story goes, is when someone decided that the pile of gravel could be gone over in the Jeep. I guess the little issue of clearance between the lowest point of the body of the jeep and the distance to the bottom of the tires was not sufficiently explored as the Jeep became one of the world’s most expensive teeter-totters.

The moral of the story is… never, never, never go Jeeping alone. Now that I think about it… we could have done the mudding the day before, and he wanted to sneak out on his own the next day and they had added the pile of gravel to keep numb-skulls from putting fresh tire tracks in their nice mud pit. Moral doesn’t change… memory is still fond. I still smile. No one got hurt.

Updated by 30 minutes… snow is sticking to the ice.

We have had a half inch of snow fall in the past 30 minutes.  I decided to take one quick picture out the front door, so no screen shot.  Still have electricity!

View out the front door, Foxridge apartments, Lexington, Kentucky January 28 2009 10:43 a.m.

The trees remind me of whales in captivity.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow….

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but my dear, you’re so delightful, so as long as we have electricity… let it snow, let snow, let it snow.

“Screen shot” literally… you can see the screen in the picture.  Same problem with the other pictures I took with my 11 year old camera.  However, I am NOT opening the door and the screen or going outside to take a picture.  Maybe I’ll open the front door.  Wife shouldn’t complain too much, right?

Christmas Cactus, part two

I mentioned before that I was pleased with my Christmas Cactus. I even showed a couple pictures of it with little buds. I am even more pleased with it now. The blooms remind me of dragons. I have a few pics, but they are kinda blurry.

This is one of the better ones.

image

Notice how the bloom folds back and looks like wings?

Here’s another shot.

image

As you can see, there are multiple blooms from this shot. We are having 3-4 bloom at any given time. We have had 6-8 full blooms so far, and another 15-20 on the way. Based on how these are lasting, I suspect we will have buds through the end of January; perhaps longer.

This last picture should give you an idea of how many buds we have.

image

Basically, every cactus growth has a bud at the end of it.

Proud of my brother John

Today I got the official word from my big bro…

“three book hard cover deal”

Yes, my brother’s first published novel, and they liked it so much they have signed him to a three book deal!!!

I’ll have links “soon” to where YOU can buy a copy of his book.  I know I will figure out how to get copies of them all.

Very proud I am.  He has worked SO HARD on this.

I’ll share more information as I get it.
