What is Life if You Can't Laugh at Yourself ?

I found this link in a Homeschool Moms' chat room yesterday. Quite Funny. (and so are a lot of the other Tim Hawkins videos) Enjoy!

It's Done!!!! (Kind of...)


After several hours of intense thought, labour and more thought and more labour; my amazing husband has completed his home made hot tub!

He made it completely from scratch, using nothing but his own thoughts and ideas, and a few tips from fellow on-line, "make it from nothing and for nothing" inventors.

As you can see it still needs a little bit of work. It is missing the insulation on the outside and the plumbing parts aren't covered yet, oh yeah, and it still leaks...a little...but as long as it holds water long enough to heat it up and sit in it, what more do you want?!?!

I'm confident that he will one day figure out what needs to be done to stop the water from trickling out those invisible holes, even if it means ordering 'Mighty Putty' from that guy with the funny voice on TV. He has also been tossing around the idea of adding a waterfall feature.

In the meantime, we'll just enjoy the warmth while being surrounded by a true labour of love.

Just a Little More of the Fun I've Been Having

I created this slide show using PhotoShop Elements. I think this is a great way to keep all those digital shots you're not really sure what to do with, but can't get yourself to delete.

The main character is my beautiful daughter, just being herself.

The music is "For the Beauty of the Earth" from Chris Rice; Living Room Sessions. Awesome CD. Great sheet music for my fellow pianists.

No pictures were duplicated. Honestly.

No tulips were harmed in the production of this movie.
