OK, it is good to have a handy man around the house!! Brian was able to diagnose the washer's problem with a little help from his friend Larry! Then it was off to the store to buy belts. Who knew that a washer needed two. Anyway he was able to fix the beastie and the mountain of laundry has been scaled! At least until next week when we start the laundry process over again.
Oh and when it is said that these things come in three's...they are right! A few nights later, Brian busted the snowblower pull start! He and his dad spent 2 hours fixing that little oops! They were laughing afterwards because they actually took every screw off of the blower to repair it and when they put it back together...they didn't have any left over! Which is a good thing, right?
OK, for one of Brian's Christmas presents I had some of his Mission slides scanned. The idea was to surprise him with a scrapbook of his Mission...well, I wasn't there so I really needed his input to create the book. On Christmas day he received a DVD with the pictures in a slideshow, explaining what I needed him to do to help me accomplish this for him. We have a tradition of creating the "9 month" Christmas gift, so this year it was his turn. These are just a few images that will be going in the book. Look close, Brian is in them, but you may see Ozzie and Marc as well. Enjoy the images because I am sure I will get in trouble for posting them. :)
Handmade gifts are always the best!! This is what Brian made me for Valentines this year. He made the earrings to match the necklace that he gave me last fall. They are out of Desert Ironwood burl and so much fun to wear! The thin pair are two inches round and the smaller ones about the size of a quarter. I am still to chicken to try and turn something that tiny. I am so glad that I bought him that lathe!! :)
