Life is Very Good!

We have a new table cloth. Thanks Mom!!!

I have had a crochet table cloth made by my mother for over 20 years. It was made for an old rectangular table that I had at the time. The table is long gone, but the table cloth still saw daily use on our round table.

After all these years my old rectangular table cloth had finally started to show some age w/ the occasional hole etc. My mother has stepped into the void and created another masterpiece. This time made for the round table. Isn’t it awesome!

I’m sure this one will last 20+ years of daily use too.

While on vacation we visited our neighbors, Larry and Sue and their wonderful dog Tammy, at their cabin near Cisco Grove. It was great to spend some time hiking with them in the Sierra granite and seeing this part of their world.

Tammy had just romped in a muddy puddle right before this. She got in trouble, so expressed her rebellion by standing apart from mom & dad. Very funny and smart dog!

More Jeepin’

We’re Back! Again.

Okay, it’s true. I haven’t blogged much lately. Partly because we have been busy, and partly because I haven’t had a lot to say.

Anyway, we just got back from vacation. I have never grown a mustache (by itself before), so I decided to give it a try. Since this was a first, I wanted a decent pic of the new look. I figured a bit of stubble to go w/ the cheesy ‘stache would be just right.

So, at lunch today, I took the pic. Tomorrow I have to visit w/ a client, so we’re back to a clean shave tonight…

We went to central Nevada (almost exactly to the geographic center) for some Jeeping with my business partner, Jim, and his boys. We had a lot of fun and I made some videos. Here’s one. More to come.
