Extreme Porch Makeover


Here are a couple of pretty impressive photos of the porch and the able bodies who did so much work. For two days, we worked from sun up until sundown to complete this masterpiece of workmanship. When things aren't square you have to be extremely creative on doing this type of project. Thank goodness we has such a wonderful project manager (the dad), to guide us in our efforts to make this all come together. The first day the weather was totally uncooperative, so we only had two days to complete the extreme makeover. The demolition had been done before we arrived so with lots of help from Deb, Zacky, Jason, me and dad, it all worked out a lot better than we ever anticipated. Deb still has lots to do before winter sets in to the outside, and the inside can be done at her own pace. All in all, we are all very excited with the outcome. So were the six bees I killed in a matter of 5 minutes (they must've been searching for a place to hide out for the winter, no such luck for them).

The Plane Will Only Turn Left


Dad and I are having trouble voting. I think it will be completed next year (I have my fingers crossed for that), but Dad says never. Maybe that should be the vote. Who is right Mom, or Dad.
The other wing is still a work in progress, and if both wings are on, maybe it would go straight and also right and left.
There is still a lot to be done. But, every little bit moves it closer to being airborn. Any time anyone is bored and needs something to do, Dad is always willing to go to the hangar and spend a few quality hours tinkering.

Torrey 2007


This year's trip to Torrey was awesome! Everyone (with the exception of Dean and Heather) was able to be there and support Granny and Gramps. It felt pretty good to see Grandma win the prize for having the most family members in attendance. The highlight of the trip was of course the fantastic four wheeling trails and beautiful landscape. Other than the big $$ spent on gas, the kids getting electrocuted in the swimming pool and Debbie wrecking her brand new dirt bike, I would say it was the prefect family reunion.
I love this pic of Dono man looking cool... Do you think he is ready to get riding or just fall asleep?
