Happy Birthday Marine Corp

Revolutionary War Uniforms

I had to add this picture of my favorite marine.

Claire's Hat is So Hot the TV Burst Into Flames

Can't Call the Yard Stumpy Anymore

The septic tank guys from Clay's came by and removed four stumps (overgrown stumps at that) and relocated and replaced the drain field pipes. It'll be a whole lot easier to mow now.

Organic Fun

Pearce got to sit up on the bench and play a few notes on the organ after the postlude today.

About a Bike

This is a bike George gave me more than 5 years ago. It has been a work in stasis for several years now. I'm going to change that status to a work in progress now. First things first, I'll be stripping it down to bare parts. Then, I'm going to paint the frame. After that, we'll just have to see where we're at. 

Oh, for those of you who don't know, I name all of my bikes. The name is significant to how the bike was either acquired or simply came to be. For instance, my mountain bike is named Oscar because everything came out of a trash can. Everything but the tires that is. This bicycle will be named George. He did a great deal for me when Kristi and I moved to Rome. The paint scheme will be black, white, and yellow like the Scott CX bike I raced while working at Ordinary.

Look It's Mommy

Watching Mommy head down to feed the bees

It Seemed Like a Good Idea

We are in so much trouble. I looked up and this is what I saw. Unsolicited team work. I love it and it's amazing but that is a recipe for mayhem.

There's a Piano in my Diningroom

There's a Tardis In My Dining Room

We were watching Dr Who and the dynamic duo decided to play Dr Who when the episode ended.

A Howling Great Time

Pearce is ready for the next step. He'll be the chief wolf-cub in the fall.

Pearce's Advancement Ceremony

Pearce was awarded his Tiger badge by his Den Leader, Momma pinned it on him, the Lodge Chief of the Order of the Arrow put the Mark of the Tiger on his cheek, and he is now a Wolf.

Saturday Morning on the Oostanaula

Pearce did a good job fishing with my fishing rod. He also reeled in a nice little twig.

Wednesday Night Practice

Pearce taking a whack at the old Moody. Claire was busy interpreting the Demoivre Suite #1 in C Major into dance.

Went Through Daddy's Closet

Watched a points race from Dick Lane on YouTube and went through my old jerseys. This non-team jersey was Pearce's favorite.

Winter Wonderland

We just did get out in the snow before it totally disappeared.

See, I Wasnt Joking

I'm a Rockstar

Yep, your looking at the newest member of the Soggy Bottom Boys. Oh, yes I played my cello with a guitar strap around my neck.
