Forward Motion


Our intention, Dylan's and mine, on Thursday, was for me to drive him to Sac to catch the Amtrak back to SF. But, it was a 2:10 train, and we arrived at 2:15. So, I took an unscheduled trip to San Francisco. It was fine. More time to talk, and, at the shop I got to see Charlie and Troy, plus all the Twist shelves he took to New York (so cool!). The shipment had arrived from New York! While he was here at our house, he showed us website after website, from several different countries, that were featuring his designs--either the tree table (Shady) or the shelves. His task now is to turn that momentary attention into some concrete orders or contracts. I was back home by 8:30.

Our neighbor, Scott, and his crew nearly finished the electrical/phone trench, yesterday. Here's Bob filling in by shovel, as Scott fills with the Bobcat--the same Bobcat that he uses to plow the snow in the winter. Handy little vehicle. I saw him clearing brush with it last week. The actual cables should be "pulled" next week, sometime.


And the garden is moving along, as well. We removed the long-since unproductive fruit trees in the garden beds. I have a bit of soil amending to manage, then I'll plant the seedlings. The blackberries look happy, but will need a trellis soon.

This entry needs a little 'zazz. Here's some fun. Check this out. http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html
It's the site where all the little special Google logos are archived. I would like to have that job.
