Well we had time for one last outing, and Crystal, Doug and I spent the weekend in Birmingham, AL, to see the Rolex 250 at the Barber Motorsports Park so JT could experience the sounds of a car race. : ) Crystal is a trooper... |

OK, we are ready to get this over with now...4 weeks to go, but we hope it is sooner. Crystal is miserable, can't sleep, and her back hurts. We've been busy feathering the nest, and JT's nursery is coming together nicely. I'm painting cartoon murals on the wall with a nice assortment of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and planes (go figure...).Brother-in-law Doug has been up several times with friends Jonathan and Andrew, and the backyard now looks much better (thanks!). We have enough bird and squirrel feeders to start our own zoo. Still plenty left to do, hoping I can get it done before JT gets here and the fall semester starts back! August 16!!! |

| JT's new digs...lots of cool cars and trucks and stuff. Still plan on painting 2 other walls with murals. Cartoons inspired by the 1952 Warner Bros.Tex Avery classic "One Cab's Family." For some reason, Crystal thinks I look like Theodore Chipmunk, so I have scoured eBay for a wide assortment of related miscellany. We have adopted Theodore Theodocious as a surrogate son until JT gets here... |
