Grant Her Eternal Rest, O Lord

We will miss her, but we will see her again when the mercy of God gathers us together again in the joy of His kingdom.  Rest in peace darling.

An Old Violinist

The boys have been begging dad to teach them the violin.  I am not sure that Dad is at the level of his old concert master Maestro Sokol...but it is interesting to watch. But the best part is Dad's concert attire.

Newest Tattoo Enthusiast

Andrew has gotten his first tattoo. It wasn't as awful as he had anticipated.  We had to go out of the country to get it done, since under age tattooing is not legal in our state.  It was a lovely drive to Vancouver. Wow, the background of this picture makes us look like hoarders, we were just in the middle of un-Christmasing, that is all….really.

How Charming

I have three new toilets sitting in my living room, we are so classy, it's like Downton Abbey around here.  They are just waiting for me to call in a favor from a friend who will come and install them.  Me yelling last night.....

"do not go upstairs unless you are carrying a toilet!"

A Visit To The Beauty Parlor
