It's be busy this past week. Not only with trying to get actual work done but yesterday Zoe, Gerry (Zoe's mom), and I made up a mess of chickenkabobs and fired up the barby for my kids, grandkids, and some friends. A good time was had by all and the weather cooperated and the clouds parted and it was a sunny evening for a cutthroat game of extreme croquet. The last several days have been focused on shopping and cleaning. Now to catch up on some work and the rearranging of the furniture. I will be changing the layout of this blog today so things might look a little weird for a time. I will be adding a third column as a collector for books that I've read and would like to recommend for your enjoyment and/or edification. I will also be widening the central column to make more room for my photographs. I'm shooting more and would like to start including them on a regular basis. I have a mess of links that I hope to get up later today. Although the sun is out and it is a beautiful day... I hope everyone is enjoying this long weekend.
