4007. judithathome - 5/8/2007 7:21:00 PM Wiz, could you send me a link to that piece so I can copy it over to my forum? That was flippin' amazing!! 4008. judithathome - 5/8/2007 7:24:27 PM Never mind...I figured it out! Duh. 4009. Ulgine Barrows - 7/13/2007 10:02:22 AM Such a perfect day, today. Looked like rain earlier, but no.
It all blew off. I played hooky with a gal I know.
We ended up in a cool library that is the closest thing to the NYC this western side of the Mississippi.
Saw an exhibit of photos. Some kids in Africa were taking pictures of things they loved. 4010. Ulgine Barrows - 7/13/2007 10:17:07 AM JudithAtHome,
"closest thing to the NYC Public Library west of the Mississippi"
wink 4011. Ulgine Barrows - 7/13/2007 10:41:21 AM Anyway. These kids taking pictures of things they loved.
I'd say 97% of the photos were of people. Only a few were pictures of things.
Very different culture than My House, USA - if I gave my kid a camera and told him to take pictures of things he loved, I doubt I'd show up in any of them.
But I would want to see what pictures he took, too. 4012. wonkers2 - 7/15/2007 6:13:16 PM The Richest of the Rich Americans 4013. wonkers2 - 7/15/2007 6:13:42 PM The Richest of the Rich Americans 4014. thoughtful - 7/16/2007 5:19:10 PM We went to an antique car show yesterday with our 1948 cj-2a jeep and guess what....we won a trophy!
We were just tickled pink as there were about 450 cars there and didn't think we'd have a prayer. 4015. thoughtful - 7/16/2007 7:14:47 PM

4020. alistairConnor - 10/20/2007 2:23:35 PM Just a photo dump. A few months ago, up the hill from my place. Shrink-wrapped bales of silage.
4021. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 10/20/2007 2:53:22 PM Precious! 4022. judithathome - 10/20/2007 8:49:25 PM Fabulous shots!!!! 4023. wabbit - 10/22/2007 4:09:19 PM Wonderful! How well I remember sitting in an Irish bar in NYC with your girls and marjoribanks, and your eldest telling us emphatically that she was "quatre ans". 4024. wonkers2 - 10/27/2007 9:12:55 PM Nice looking daughters, Alistaire!
Wonder what Banks is doing? He's disappeared. 4025. alistairConnor - 12/3/2007 12:33:11 AM The continuing saga of my heating system...
On Wednesday, the new (wood-pellet) boiler was delivered in the middle of the courtyard. On Saturday, the installer turned up with a couple of hefty friends, and we were planning to take it down to the cellar for installation.
But it won't go... the stairway is narrow and it turns. Short of demolishing a wall... but after due reflection, it's easier to open up a doorway to the cellar from the garden.
Just try to get a mason. Before Christmas. Go on, try.
Luckily my tenant used to be a mason... so this morning we knocked a hole in the wall. Very easy to do : stone and clay, with a very thin veneer of lime mortar. The trick is knowing when to stop, before the house comes down around your ears.
So now we've got a hole, and one side of it concreted up again, and some hope of getting it finished by next weekend. So the heating people can do their thing. We ran out of fuel oil for the old boiler last week, and I'm not buying any more -- I've finished with fossil fuels. So we're burning wood to keep warm, in the meantime. 4026.
