Hi Everybody

Forgot to leave the airconditioner on in the garage. It's about 90 out there - a little hot to do much model work. (It's over 113 outside!) So here I am at the computer. I'm playing around to see how to do different things so if they work out you'll get to see a few pictures.

Yep, that's our house - to those that haven't seen it. Hand sketched by the old man. Not too bad but won't get me any awards. Don't know if you can enlarge it after it's been posted but I hope you can get some idea of it. Have a closeup of the bouginvillea bush out front that I'll show you one of these days. We may have mentioned in the past that we have oranges (you saw the coyote enjoying one) , grapefruit and tangelos out back. Just to show I'm not lying, here's shot of our tangelo back in January. Ok-a-a-a-ay - you can see I have a little more learning about posting and arranging. So I'm going to hold off for now, study a little and get back to you all in a few days.

Our first go.

Unless we were able to change things, you have watched a little video of our backyard friend. He (or she - we haven't been close enough to check) has been back a couple of times. But alas, there weren't any oranges on the ground. Our "gardener" said coyotes wouldn't eat oranges, but that is what our visitor did. Or at least finished off what the birds had left. Sorry the file is so big for the video but I don't think that will have an impact on you viewers

Now that we've gotten our feet wet in the blog business, we'll be putting in some more stuff. We don't have any more church newsletter work to do until mid-August. A lot of folks are gone and the livin' is easy. It is, of course, as hot as h-e-double thunder. But the garage is about mid-eighties and Ted works on his models out there. Peg is lucky - her kitchen is nice and cool.

Hello to all.
