Ireland

Birthday Time

It was my birthday this past Friday and my birthday gifts were spot on this year. Dana got me a traveling humidor and a DOT approved travel case for my lighter so I can pack it and it won't be taken out by the transportation dept. My Dad got me a camel skin briefcase/laptop bag so I can graduate from backpacks. Ryan got a marble ashtray that is awesome! Nancy sent a gift certificate to the Tinderbox which I've already put to good use and my sisters sent some spending money which was greatly appreciated.Still waiting to see what my Mom has in store. Supposedly I'll find out next weekend. Thanks everyone. 29 was great. 30 may be even better depending on where we celebrate. Who's up for a party in Paris?..Athens?..Madrid????

It's Official

We are officially on the market. The house was listed 2 days ago and we've had 1 family come to see it so far. Hopefully it'll sell quickly so we don't have to pay the mortgage for too long.

The New Neighbors

A new family has moved in to our back yard. We have a bird feeder that was left empty a little too long and has now become a nest for a momma bird and her two eggs. I'll have some new pictures of the little guys when they hatch. Any bird watchers out there are probably real jealous!

The jig is up.

We just got back from telling the last of our family the BIG news. Everyone is pretty excited to come out and visit. I'm just happy that I can finally talk about Ireland without worring that I might let the cat out of the bag! I'll be working as a pediatric perfusionist at one of the world's largest (volume wise) children's hosptals. Surely this will be our great adventure.

The "New" old Gibson

For Christmas 2 1/2 years ago my dad gave me his acoustic guitar that he had owned since the early 70s. The wood had cracked below the bridge and 30+ years of use had worn down the frets. Well, I got the cracks fixed a while ago and just got the frets replaced. I also found out that the guitar was made sometime in the early 60s. Now it sounds just about as good as any I have heard (as well as any the repair man had heard). Funny what can get passed down. No one really knows what it is worth, but being an heirloom, good luck getting away from me for any price!
