Ok, so I just ran outside and snapped this:

I uploaded an album of pics from the banquet here

20121104 Finishing the Dominoes

Remember the Anniversary dominoes I made? Well they needed a box.

And a lid:

Too cute, right? I love making sawdust. (Incidentally, that's lid #2. #1 taught me a lesson about eyeballing the centerline of a router bit when flipping pieces and routing "equal" distances on both sides--the pips lined up like I'd been into the 15 yr old scotch all day. It also taught me that if you slip when lowering a small wood piece onto a metal bit going 25,000 RPM driven by a 1/2 HP motor, there is nothing but an act of God to keep you safe. I still have my fingers. And my spleen. But I had to change my pants. Just sayin')

20121022 Visit TN for Dad's BDay

Yes, this is out of order, but I never posted and there was a request. So here are some pictures from my drive to TN for my Dad's birthday.

My Dad and my big Sis, Susan:

Then Mom, David and Elizabeth, practicing their best "Joseph has his camera out" smiles 

 The whole fam. I'm practicing sleeping in church.

 The trees sure have grown up around my telescope mount!

 The birthday celebration with Uncle Joseph, Dad and David

The all important, and ubiquitous, Joseph sees a sunset, therefore.... (This must be where this all began)

We even had a chance to drive by the old place in Knoxville on Colonial Rd. OUR BASKETBALL HOOP IS STILL UP! Yeah, go ahead and drive down the left side, right into the marble walled flower bed--I dare ya!

 No visit is complete without the tractor and chainsaws.

C'est finis.
