Blog posts three days in a row. That's been a while! Yesterday Zoe and I went over to Katie and Colby's. Katie is my daughter. We finally had some good weather and Katie and Colby had just had a bunch of work done on their house. A good time to show it off.

The first thing we has to see was the tree house Colby is building for my grandson Mike. I love tree houses. I'm envious.

In addition to removing some old decks, Colby has been regrading the back yard. That's Colby sitting on the antique lawn tractor with the blade near the fence. Standing next to him, with hand on head, is his father Eric. It's the same Eric who is the machinist that turned my Mamiya Super 23 into a flattop 6 years ago. I hadn't met him as Colby's father until yesterday. When I reminded him about the Mamiya flattop he became quite excited. It turns out he has been wanting to build a view camera and had wanted to talk to me but didn't remember my name or how to get hold of me. When he found out I was that camera guy we had a long conversation on cameras and lenses. We will be talking. A good time was had by all. Zoe and I are pretty tired but it was a good weekend of family.
