Last night was Brandon’s Senior Concert. It was big deal to watch my son perform his last college concert. He performed three musical pieces solo on the stage using two different percussion instruments, timpani and a marimba. Next semester he starts his student teaching. If you can’t tell, I’m proud of him.

The Mail people must like our house.

Part of Wordless Wednesday

I passed this man out burning leaves and it got me to thinking. Wouldn’t it be cool if people could help each other out. I know you’re thinking what in the heck are you talk about, it’s a guy burning leaves. Well there are people that pay for leaves and pine straw to put in the flower beds while others burn the extras they have. I guess it boils down to who wants to do the work.

We decided to play with clay today. I grabbed a piece of clay without any idea what I was going to make. I’m not sure why, but I ended up with this hillbilly looking guy.

I was given the privilege of being the family photographer at Johnson Ferry’s Christmas Packages this year. The event was full of music, treats, and games to bring in the Christmas season. It was a very busy night at the church. But I was able to make a self portrait during the event, complete with an elf hat.

In order to speed up my side yard cleanup project, I rented a Bobcat. All was going well until I took a little break and came back to find the front tire was flat. I got the opportunity to learn how to change the tire on a Bobcat and was able to get back to work after a short delay.

I started cleaning out our side yard today so we could expand our fence. The first part was to cut down a few pine trees that were in the way. The only complete chainsaw I have is a Poulan. It should be call a workout machine instead of a chainsaw, I pulled on that thing for about 15 minutes and it never would start.

You can tell it’s Christmas time, even Mr. Bear is in the Christmas spirit.

Today was the last lunar eclipse of the year. But living in the USA we were only able to see the Penumbral eclipse. I thought I would at least take a photo of the moon even though I could not see the eclipse.

We put up our Christmas tonight. It’s cool to see the ornaments that we have collect over the years and the remembering what each one of them means to our family.
