Angie's B'day Quilt for Daddy

My daughter Angela made this for me to celebrate my 60th birthday. It includes patches depicting some of my interests to include, my love of sailing, tools, and my railroading days. There might even be a pencil/pen in there somewhere representing my 30 plus years as an accountant/auditor.

The photos don't really do the quilt justice. You have to see it in real life to appreciate Angela's talent and skill.

Thank You Angie!

Cedar Key, Florida

One of my favorite places. When I lived in Gainesville I used to drive over in the evenings just to watch the dolphins and sun set. Very low key during the week - no touristas.

Oak Logs

A gentleman brought these logs by from a lot he was clearing. The large one is a water oak and the small ones are red oaks. I sawed them into 5/4 thickness and for the most part quarter sawed the large log (25" x 10') and flat sawed the smaller one. Despite being dead for a while they were heavy heavy.

More Cruise Photos

These are some photos taken during my 10/2011 cruise from Tampa to the Cayman Islands, and Cozumel. The sea was getting rough coming back, tornadoes were supposedly forming south of us.

Birthday PC Trip

My daughters and son in law took me down to FL to celebrate my 60th birthday at Hunt's Oyster Bar. I am fortunate in many ways.

Check out this palm in a Panama City FL park in the St. Andrews area. Very unusual! Here's the official description.

A massive live oak, every young person's dream - designed by nature to be the perfect treehouse tree.

Don't forget, every one's welcome to leave comments. Daughter Angela was the photographer.

2011 Apalachicola FL Trip

This photo was taken (11/4/11) facing north on FL State Hwy 73 where it connects to FL State Hwy 71, a little south of Kinard FL. The next couple of photos were taken at the intersection of Hwys 73 and 71, south of Kinard.

Apalachicola's Seafood Festival

Ok folks be sure to check out the Seafood Festival in Apalachicola, FL if you're in the area this weekend. Hey give me a pat on the back I was able to do the hyperlink without daughter Angie's assistance.

While I'm there I'll be checking on a Ranger Tug, this looks to be the perfect boat to search the shoreline for drift logs that need rescued and revitalized into a bowl, cutting board, or whatever the log wants to be.





Leave me a msg if you'll be able to make it!
