Saturday, September 4, 2010. The planets have realigned for the most part and we are pleased. Well, relieved is a better word. Please be assured that every weekend is not like the last one I blogged about but we now work with the public. and for those of you who have done that before in your lives you know exactly what I mean. What is wonderful is that we have been fortunate with the weather and people are absolutely loving what David has been doing with the course. He is exhausted. And finally we are st...

http://housedrone.blogspot.com/2012/01/good-day-sunshine-so-far-anyway.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. So far anyway.). It is about 5 am and the wind is starting to blow hard enough to get my well traveled chimes on the front porch singing. They are larger chimes so they have a beautiful baritone. Good grief that is awful). Well, we have been very busy working on the house. There has been a lot more sheetrock, paint, trim, paint again and things are finally starting to take shape. Here is David after, during, before replumbing, rewiring, repainting, and tiling the laundry room:.

Unskilled Labor: Nice things
http://housedrone.blogspot.com/2012/01/nice-things.html
Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Hearing the waves when I take Delta out at o'dark thirty in the morning. Watching Donovan play and hearing him and his mother laugh. Putting up the last full ceiling piece of sheetrock. Hearing the chimes on my porch when the wind picks up. Watching the flames through the glass in the woodstove. That first morning cup of coffee. Seeing flowers popping up already in the yard. Watching Delta time her run just right and then jump up to catch her frisbee. So far anyway.). Awesome I...

Sunday, February 20, 2011. Conversations to be endured while working with the public that would not necessarily occur while working as a Deputy Probation Officer. (Well. might occur but the outcome would surely be different.). 4 Golfers fresh out of church. Me: Ok guys I need your first names. And then as Man 4 was talking I turned to Ivan and said what is his name. pointing to Man 4. And how do you spell that? Quick and the dead. Sunday, February 6, 2011. Things seen on a misty morning walk. For vegetar...

Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Yes there are some very nice folks. Adam is the night waterer and all around helper. He is quiet, and kind hearted. He is funny, and when he gets rolling out there on the course he does a very good job. He has a little dog named Milo who bites. (he does not bite David anymore) but he took a good chunk off of David's finger the first time David went to pet him. This is actually just Mike. Gayle, Don, Lowell, and Bob with his back to camera. David, Lowell, Bob, and Von. Two c...

Sunday, July 31, 2011. Another Conversation Overheard On A Golf Course. Three ladies come in for a tee time and they are 10 minutes late. They are oblivious to the fact that they are late and that there is anyone else on the golf course, in the clubhouse, or apparently on the planet. They are chattering like hens on crack th e entire time only breaking long enough to hand me their credit cards to pay for their rounds. And then one leans over with a plastic bag filled with liquid and asks. So I get a call...

Thursday, December 16, 2010. Bit of rain. and a twister. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and emails about my Uncle Russell. If you were looking for the post I wrote about his passing it is here:. There was even the added bonus of being in the path of a tornado. Of course being in the path of a tornado that peters out is soooo much better than being 'touched' by one. Another view of the trees hung up on the covered bridge. I put up some decorations, baked some banana bread, put Duke Ellington's Nutcr...
