HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ......
John, You are the most fun I can have in any given element (air water or fire) you keep me grounded to the earth, are a soft warm place to hide when it all becomes to much and the most talented craftsman I know still learning and teaching.
Although we had planned to spend your (60th ) Birthday and our (10th) anniversary some place tropical keeping the dream alive you still took me to the beach for cocktails and a beautiful sunset.
and we were all nice and warm, even the "Airhead" who celebrated her 10th birthday by a nice warm fire after a day of climbing "killer beach" logs at La Push.
It was great to be on the road again even it was not in the RV.....we may never out-grow that "travelin' thing".

I DON'T HATE BEETS ANYMORE
Who could refuse an invitation to dinner like this..."I just got my new issue of Bon Appetit and I a have to cook something?
While Cynthia cooked I browsed to new Mag. Love the pictures, commenting that the beet soup was so pretty even tho' I hate beets even it looked Good. ARRRGHGHG
That was to be the first course.... but I loved it!
Then on to a stirfry filled with favorites (yams,cabbage, onions andchicken)

But the " I could live on this" goes to the Meyer lemon custard cakes."
It is soooo cool having friends that love to cook!!!!

Still Swimming in Circles?
Here it is the first week of 2009 and I still can't seem to pin down the direction (reason for even using all too precious time) for my new blog.
Why bother then?
1) I felt a venue to gather ideas for new projects, get feedback on how to improve and or complete old projects (sometimes just that one little nudge can propel even the most stuck item into the universe) and keep in touch with friends, familly and future business associates was a good....NO GREAT idea.
2) Create a place to showcase my work and hopefully that of others with similar interests.
Many things have changed in my personal life and the blogosphere since I recieved my first domain and blog from girlfriend and "internet guru" Chris and so much has happened.
We all have so much knowledge and so many adventures to share that there must be a place for all of us to espress ourselves through pictures and words of comfort and encouragement .
BUT HOW?
At this time of year so many of us put a New Years Resolution out to the universe but I for one have followed thru on very few over the years.
I am making a few anyway.
1) Write a letter or send a card to everyone in my address book .( It's fun to recieve snail mail and I can then update new phone #'s email address' and hand out a few 000's and XXX's the old fashioned way)
2)take photos of every started and not finished thing , post them here , finish them (because now you will remind me too.)
3) Spend a bit less time Oggling all of your wonderful Blogs (is that called Bloggling then?)
and spend a bit more time on my own.
Hmmmmm. the new year is definitely off to a good start. PEACE
( and yes comments are welcomed)
