Dark Shadows

 Just went and saw Dark Shadows. Johnny Depp was great as Barnabas Collins (he does weird guys SO well!)
If you are a fan of the TV show, years ago as I was....you'll "get it". Dr. Julia was an older, not attractive woman, on the TV show...and the mother was actually Joan Bennett, the film actress...on the TV show.
Willie Loomis, Barnabas' sidekick, in the movie, was Jackie Earle Haley, recently on the TV show Human Target.And....of all things......Alice Cooper (the musician) did a cameo appearance!

Jimmy and Shadow playing golf!


Jimmy's putting green is finally finished and Shadow's newest, "funest"game is beating the golf ball to the hole! He's pretty amazing, whatever angle you aim....he adjusts his stance! Pretty funny!

My Garden Tower


I have started an Aeroponic Garden. Lettuce and tomatoes to start with....just planted....2 weeks seedlings!
It has a water reservoir in the bottom and pumps the water to the top and waterfallsback to the bottom, feeding the plants. I'll post pictures as it grows!
Can't wait!

Laying the tubing for the Radiant Floor...


Jimmy, along with our neighbor, Mr. Cox, just finished the downstairs portion of the tubing for the heated floor.....now it's pressure testing, pouring the slab, and then hopefully the framing starts soon!

Thundersquirrel and Chubbo the ground squirrel

This is so cute!
Thundersquirrel, a small tree squirrel that we have adopted and even have a house for, has run across this Chubbo....a ground squirrel twice his size! Whenever he gets too close, he chases him off! I can't imagine why a huge critter would be afraid of a small one, except that he doesn't go in the trees, at all.
Thundersquirrel is very territorial!!

Gary Puckett and the Union Gap

 Remember the late 60's? Well, Jimmy surprised me with tickets and we went to see Gary Puckett last night. It was a fun evening with some great old songs and some fun stories were told.
His keyboard player, Jamie Hibold, also plays with W.C. Clark in Austin, when he's not playing with Gary.......My brother plays drums for WC Clark, too......so it was fun to meet him too.
