Rick Builds Bub A Truck

Rick and I decided it would be nice to build each grandchild something special as a keepsake. For Carey's 1st birthday Rick built her a pink, rocking Harley. My job was painting it. For her brother, we decided a hand built truck was in order. It took a few years to get around to building it but...WOW! I think Rick really out did himself. Since it was built with exotic wood, there was no staining or painting. Just a sprayed finish of varnish. No work for Danna. I hope it is something that Richard Glyn will treasure for years to come!

After a few weeks of carpentry, painting and hooking up electronics, our "Old Eyes" project is pretty much complete. Everything appears to be working seamlessly. I love all the tech toys but, they need to be easy to operate. You can only teach an old dog so many new tricks. This old dog thinks she is almost at capacity. Ha!

Carey's Hit...

Our grand-daughter Carey Lee is playing her first season of baseball. She is the only girl on the team. She got a hit today and the whole thing made me laugh. From not believing she had hit the ball and should run, to not realizing she should run to second base. She finished up with a "photo-op" pose when she crossed home plate. Her younger brother spent his time munching on snacks. Ahhhhhh...take me out the ball game!

Breathing In The Green

Last night I was texting with Kallie. I told her about the "green goop" that comes to Houston every year and stays for 3 to 4 weeks. I think she thought I was telling "tall tales" when I described how awful it is and how much of it there is. I told her I would send her a picture this morning. I decided a video demonstration would be more effective. I cleaned the glass patio table last night at 11:30 pm and shot this video at 9:30 this morning. After you view my demo...please feel SORRY for me!!!! Ha.

Bodacious

We took the grandkids to the Houston Rodeo last week. It's the largest rodeo in the world. Our grandson caught on to the bull announcing quickly. It cracked me up. Enjoy! Oh...he does not usually have such a heavy drawl. Ha!
