The Southern Highland Craft Guild show is coming in 10 days we are making a new price list for some really cool stuff….. Some hand carved and painted earrings….  Never to soon to think about Christmas guys…

It seems that on this day…. in 1957 two  kids meet for the first time…. That would be John Lennon & Paul McCartney….. I guess you can say the rest is history…. Yeah Yeah Yeah…

Black & White……

The Mountain Nest…… a very cool place to visit……. If you are in the neighborhood…. And if you are in the neighborhood call and I will go with you to visit…..and I’ll buy the coffee….

From time to time as you go through old hard drives with photos you sometimes find a magical photo from days gone by……. This is one I always liked of my Grandkids….. and the backstory is it’s not the photo we were trying to take….  We were hoping for a shot of the girls with new dresses….  But the little one wanted nothing to do with it…. We tried everything to get them to smile for the photo, but not today…. At last Lily just started to cry and big sister put her arms around her to comfort her…. at that moment I push the button on the camera and got a far more tender moment of 2 sisters….

Here is a link to the new firmware update….

I sometimes enjoy just sitting on the front porch and drink my coffee…… and sometimes I have a visitor… this morning it was a Brown Thrasher……. and I had my camera…..

Something new is always a good thing…..

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of my heart attack…. the good news is I’m doing well….. I have made some major changes in my life…. I have moved out of California and now enjoying NC….. All is Well….. I do miss my family and grandkids… and my friends that I worked with and hung out with….. but I will see you all again when I return doing some workshops…. So See You all then…… Here is a cell phone shot of me and my new cup……
