The TWW's marriage turns 25

It was a 9 cork night.



The usual cooking coup occurred as the brothers and son told TWW to go sit in the truck so they could grill the goodies.

Anniversary party - continued

Even after 25 years Mrs. TWW still knows how to laugh at TWW's jokes.

Anniversary presents out of the ordinary

This rare collector's item is an electric butterfly wine bottle.



Here TWW and Mrs TWW discuss where to put this pair of love frogs outside.

More work than expected

The DR Powerwagon garage is on hold until after the 25th anniversary family gathering. Life fulfillment comes from building a BIG country garage to begin with rather than a series of small sheds.

Illegal immigration

This is what you get if you don't keep control of who moves in. The house on the left is normal. The one on the right was trashed by a bear from Chicago. The roof was ripped off and the door smashed in.

Life enhancement supported by high technology

People with a scanner and the Internet can listen to the aircraft flying by where they live and also watch a screen showing where the aircraft are. Who could be bored with such marvels of technology? For a greater thrill they can look out the window and see the actual aircraft. Sometimes they even can know who the pilot is.

Pigeon Found

The band reads "AU 2006 xxx 999". The dead bird was found on 05/21/2007 on Garbin Moraine.

The xxx and 999 are bogus. The real letters and numbers led TWW to the owner of the pigeon who came and retrieved his deceased bird. The poor bird got off course from a 300 mile trip home and succumbed to dehydration. It was 20 miles from home when it expired.

Tomorrow it will be colder so we can watch the balls rise again.

Tuesday

In the country one of the big entertainments each Tuesday is watching the trashperson pick up the refused.

Growing life enrichment

Another life enrichment opportunity is to watch the leaves come out.

How much will it hold?

The soul of a flawed bowl

Prometheus (an ID for a person who posts on a wood turner’s group in Google) said recently "A flawed work has a soul, and contains in every curve and plane a reflection of the dedication and work of the person who created it. It is the union of all those things which make us human crystallized, and reconnects us to the hundreds of thousands of years in which our species has struggled with mind, heart, and hands to bring us to our present level of wealth and leisure. The flaw is history set in material form - displaying a snapshot of the temporary limitations of,
and even more importantly, the promise of an ever-changing evolving mind. "

TWW used to say if you find a design error make it a product feature. Prometheus is much wiser. TWW gave a city friend an oak bowl this weekend with a hole in the bottom. Was it a design or production error or a reflection of the dedication and work of the person who created the holey bowl? As long as she does not put soup in the bowl she can wonder about the soul of a flawed work.

Missing body

Please help us find a missing body. Since no body in the family will lay claim to this shirt, it must have come from someone who was able to subvert the security system and enter the house and remove their shirt (perhaps while using the hot tub). If you have any information on the owner of this shirt please contact Mrs. TWW.

The shirt has a symbol on it. The picture below makes the symbol look reddish but it is really white.

Life enrichment or existential crisis?

This last ceiling light in the basement may appear nondescript to an outsider but to the residents of Garbin Moraine it is a watershed. It was the last task on the three year nine month project to build the house in the sticks. Like any project we are declaring success and moving on. The next question is how TWW will occupy his time and find a meaningful existence.

Life enrichment is all relatives

It was buck hamburger night, so Jr tried to get a buck to grill with his BB gun.



Here TA demonstrates life enrichment by putting on a light show using the dimmer in the kitchen while ignoring all of the calls from women on his cell phone to show he has his priorities straight.


The family torch singer gave us a sensual rendition of 'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes' . Someone noted she did not inherit her father's voice and everyone was grateful.

Here the executive director of the cabin trust enlightened people with a demonstration of a new intestinal gas extraction (IGE) technique.

Finally, MA Jr. brought her new boyfriend. She must have kissed him before posting other pics on her blog: http://mallorcamegane.blogspot.com/
