The Flag Box

My father in law retired from the United States Air Force. After the military ceremony at the funeral his wife was given the folded American flag. My husband is a wood worker. In honor of his father he built a flag box which will soon be shipped to California. It is beautiful.

Cold and Wet

Brrr! After all the nice weather, it's hard to get used to cold and wet. Most of the leaves have blown off the trees now, but if the sun were to show its face, there are still some splashes of color here and there. We had a bit of very wet snow fall around noon but it didn't stick around for long. This is the kind of weather that makes you either want to stay inside or move south. I think I'll opt to stay inside and do some of those things that I put off when the weather is nice. I have tons of photos that need to be put into albums, I have paints waiting to be used, I have puzzles to make... and apples to cook... (I will never be rid of those apples!) Christmas is coming and if I play my cards right, I could make some very nice gifts and actually be ready before Christmas Eve...

This morning we went to meet these people who are also into woodworking. I happened to see some their furniture when I was out a week or so ago and told James about it. Jose' is going to buy some of James' figured lumber and, since James is pretty busy right now, he will be passing a few jobs on to Jose'.
