So we have finally completed our dog run. We started it in 2007, with grabbing aluminum fencing that our neighbor was throwing away.
We just wanted to double up the uprights so that the dogs wouldn’t be able to see out(and bark at the neighbors when they walk by). In order to do that I had pull uprights off of other fence pieces. IN that process I chopped up the pieces, Which reminded me of the old TV show Space:1999.
So now they dog run is complete by the side of the house. We built some steps from the dog run up to the window sill in the kitchen. Right now it is a totally closed off area, so the dogs get in and out thru the kitchen window. So in the morning the Mazie wants to go outside so we go downstairs and I open the kitchen window and she jumps out. Cloda needs a little help.
I’ll get some pictures up soon. I thought it was a crazy idea at first, but it kinda works.
I am working with my brother Matt on The Nativity Scene he is sculpting for the church of San Ambrogio in Florence. My main contribution has been life masks of Ann and I to be Mary and Joseph. Here is a taste of what Matt is doing

I wrote the title of this post a long time ago, so long I can’t even remember what it was in reference to. but it is applicable once again. I type this on the road to where we (the family) will be vacationing for a week.
It will be great to spend time without focussing on work. I know I can’t let it go completely, both me mentally and the fact that work still needs attention. but it will be good to spend time with the kids at the beach, sing some songs and do some dancing atthe barn. maybe I’ll have to do another post to explain that last sentence.
I’ll take some pictures and explain some more about ‘Winny’ in the next post.
ETC is about singing songs, making music and theatre. One notable part of that is when we perfrom our children’s show over at Camp Dost

Star Wars Anti-Smoking PSA
Found Via theHuffington Post–
McCain mentioned “Joe the Plumber” almost constantly throughout the final debate — even tying him into an attack on Obama’s health care plan. But the move led to a “deer in the headlights” moment for the Republican.

I finally put up some pictures of spring, it has been here for weeks but I’ve been swamped.
We drew on the sidewalks, and tidied up the yard as well.
All the pictures are Here.
I found this great talk how creativity is as essential as literacy.
