Somewhere In Michigan
Beer Tasting & Party
Last night we had a much belated celebration of my retirement our 50th birthday’s and our 25th wedding anniversary. We made it a beer tasting party. Above are some of the beers we provided. Below are the beers we sampled which includes those brought by others. It was a fun evening.
Bird Houses
I put this one together out of cedar, drawer knobs, drawer pulls and a tin can.
This one was recently given to me and I believe made by an uncle. I repainted it 2 shades of green and added the small knob for a perch.
Nebraska School
2014 Spring Vacation
Over Memorial weekend we attended the Pedaler’s Jamboree in Missouri. After that we went up in to Nebraska to ride. Here are a few non-biking photos from our vacation. These taken in Nebraska, the murals in Nebraska City.
Our Motel Chair
The term Motel Chair is a new one to me. Somewhere I read they are called this because they showed up near pools or outside the front offices of Route 66 motels. This one was given to us by Nova’s Father and I believe it was her Grand-mothers. I can’t recall the original color. Pictured above many years after I repainted it in 2007. I like the patina it now has but Nova want’s it repainted.
Here I am in 2007 sandblasting it at a friends.
