Rory at the Home Show

Rory came to visit this weekend, On Saturday we went to the home show. Rory ended up with Apples, a Tee shirt and a Balloon.

Ji Ga Zo

I picked up a new toy on Friday, "jo ga zo". It is a puzzle building kit. You can take a picture, and turn it into a puzzle. I started with a picture of Diane, that I had in this blog from last summer
After processing the picture with the software that came in the kit, I got a map of where to place the puzzle pieces. There were 300 various sepia shaded puzzle pieces. Each piece had a key on the back (a color, and a small picture) that was used by the map to indicate where the piece should go.


This was the final result of assembling the puzzle.

On Friday the neighbors came over, and I had them assemble the puzzle. I did not tell them what the picture was. They were very surprised when the picture was finally assembled, and they could see who the picture was.

Savannah Crab Shack

Another stop on our tour of Savannah was "The Crab Shack" which features fresh seafood, tables with a hole in the middle over a trash can and an Alligator farm. We felt quite at home because the backround music was Jimmy Buffett.

Georgia Day in Savannah

We arrived in Savannah just in time for Georgia Day. And we made it to the Georgia Day parade. For Georgia Day the elementary school children dress up as colonists and Indians to celebrate the founding of Savannah. Cindy, Terry and I watched the parade while Linda toured the Juliette Low house. Juliette Low founded the Girl Scouts in Savannah in 1911.

Savannah Iron eagle

Last weekend we went to Savannah Georgia to visit our college friends Cindy and Terry. On Friday we went "pub crawling" and visited a number of local bars. We also went to an antique shop. At the shop I found a cast iron eagle lamp, and Terry convinced me that it would make a good conversion piece. The eagle must weight 20 lbs, and we took turns carrying back to the apartment in a backpack. The eagle looked a lot better on Friday night after a couple of drinks than it did the next day. At the airport coming home, we needed to get the bag with the eagle inspected, and the eagle was allowed to board the flight back home.

So Terry, the eagle made it to Lunenburg and soon to be mounted in the sun-room.

Lego Grandchildren

I got the lego Rory picture done, so all of the grandchildren are hanging in the Art Garage.
