We planted some Irises a long time ago and each year we look forward to when they bloom.

A lot of catching up to do. Start at the bottom with the Lincoln Family
This blog entry reads from the bottom up Chronologically. Start at the picture of the Lincolns.
On the way home from Boston we spent time with Jennifer Jason and the kids. Tree in Jennifer's front yard.
This picture looks toward the ship yard in the living history museum. The ship at the end is a whaler from 1844 that is in dry dock for repair and restoration. We got to climb up and go through her. Living history museums are my favorite. There are people there in costume that carry out the daily lives of working people of the period. We had a great weekend. Thanks Laura and Jeff.
Check out the form. I had fun trying to take action shots. I should have set so the fence was not in the way. Nice hit Jeff.Tuesday, January 13, 2009
White out any one?
We flew into Chicago on the 19th of December and spent the night at Phil and Sue's. The next morning we departed for Brian and Hope's house in Iowa on Route 20. Lucky for us the road was four lane when we drove into the wind and snow storm. Brings back memories of driving home from work and school when I was going to college. We had a fun visit with Brian and Hope and then went to Gary and Jean's for a "No electricity" adventure Monday night. (Only four hours)From Gary and Jean's we went to Aldens for a couple days. I know there are spaces of no pictures but we were having too good a time to take pictures.
North Pole Ice Park

Before we left North Pole I took some pictures of the Ice Park near Santa's house. Things are busy up here at that time of year.
Here is a carving of the jolly old elf about to make a training run. I caught him about 9 am in the morning. As you can see we don't have a lot of day light at that time of year. Fortunately the days will start getting longer 4 days after this picture was taken. You can see better, and additional pictures if you Google the North Pole Ice Park.
Here is Santa. It will likely be March before he begins to melt away.
This carving is made of several blocks and is about 6 feet tall.

"Light a Fire!"
One of the family blogs showed pictures of a Jeep frame and body in process of being renewed, and mentioning the hopes of "lighting a fire" under another family enthusiast's project. That other enthusiast would be me. It may not be evident but it was below zero in my work area when a took this picture a couple weeks ago. As you can see, work is going very slow at present and I'm thinking it will take a substantial fire to get this project moving before May. I was happy to see the progress being made on the other Jeep and congratulate the blogger on the purchase of a wire feed welder that he will use to repair his floor pan. Although I won't be painting then, I hope to show progress in January.
