Some lessons are harder to learn than others. Getting burned on a hot stove takes one lesson. Getting burned by customers who are slow to pay, or don’t pay, can take a few more lessons. From here on out, regardless of the level of friendship shared with the customer, I WILL GET AT LEAST HALF … [Read more…]
Yesterday’s ride was especially nice, in part because I had Saturday and Sunday to rest. The weather was perfect like Baby Bear’s porridge – not too hot, not too cold, but juuust right. Today’s weather is the same. It’s some kind of wonderful out there this time of year. Birds are everywhere. My legs were … [Read more…]
I just discovered this song, and a few more by Old 97s. Where have they been hiding?
Cami loves turtles. Before she left on her trip I started this design, but I didn’t have a chance to finish. She saw it has a black and white laser-printed line drawing. Now it’s got a bit of color. This might also look as a cutout in wood. I’ll keep working on it.

They haven’t been squealing constantly, but I wanted to make sure the car is ready for whatever cross-country jaunts I might have to … [Read more…]
Today’s ride was windy, especially on the way back. I forgot to fill my water bottle and only had about a half cup to work with. I used it sparingly. The wind kept me from getting too hot on the way up, but my mouth was dry. I took a few sips of water as … [Read more…]
We selected the pictures we liked best, which ended up being about forty. I hadn’t expected to have that many “keepers”. I put them into a gallery, and here is the link One of them is a composite of several images, and that is the one we plan to use for the actual announcement.
Cami and I spent the evening in Bountiful. Kari and Marcus invited us to come for dinner. The whole family was there with all the nieces and nephews. The dogs stayed home. 🙂 We had a good time eating, and planning for the wedding. I’ve been trying to gather addresses for the announcement list. Cami … [Read more…]
