And to top it all off: The bestest gift of all. It's supposed to get up to 63 degrees here today!!![]()

'Twas a big day, I went to the zoo with my son and his three boys. What a trip! There are still piles of snow everywhere but it's melting fast and furious. I do believe I saw 50 degrees on the thermometer! *happy dance* I came home to a mini creek flowing down one of my side trails and had to get the boots out and go splashing around for a bit, even though I am wiped out. All in all, I've had a great day. 
Sorry I'm late volties, I went to bed at an unheard of early hour for me and got up before the crack of dawn, right around the time I usually fall asleep.'Twas a big day, I went to the zoo with my son and his three boys.

Rave, you may not be celebrating your birthday, you can still have some cake, right? I wish you a happy year!
People here today were ice fishing without wearing a coat!!!
Happy birthday, Rave. Sorry I didn't get in the good wishes, but my computer crashed this morning.
Amazing, Zero. Ice fishing without a coat. Pretty soon there won't be any ice left to fish on.
Hey Rave - what was your Birthday Wish - Everyone makes one for their hallmark birthdays - especially their 30th - can't say twenty something no more...![]()
30th? It was her 20th!

Wow! Yes. They sure do resemble each other. I think it's the hair & beard more than that their face is similar, though.

Sorry about the computer crash! Those are traumatic. Belated birthday wishes are every bit as good as those that are timely to me. Thank you. Rave, you asked if there was a bad time to go fishing? Far as it goes with me it's anytime you have to cut a hole in the lake to get to the water.![]()

The unit in the center with the holes is already completed and ready to be inset into the cabinet. The piece will be two tones: Black walnut and Bird's Eye Maple. The center unit with the holes is made with thick chunks of the Bird's Eye Maple, but the drawers will only have veneers on the fronts. Much more economical that way. I finally found knobs for the drawers by looking for dollhouse supplies! Dollhouse door handles will work well.
