The Boat

This is Our Boat, I have blogged about before, Dave has slowly been trying to get it fixed up, but his parkinsons has slowed his progress, and he is needing more help getting it finished now. My Brother Richie is Moving Down here in a few weeks, after the end of a long relationship so he can get a fresh start. He is a man of many talents and can fix anything! Togeather Dave and Rich plan to finish the boat so Rich can live aboard it. Won't that be fun for him? He loves the water and it feeds his soul to be near it. Our father Loved to Sail, and This boat is very similar to the one we owned in the 70's. It would make my father happy to see Us both enjoying it. I am glad Rich is moving down. He is so helpful and has helped me many times in the past with home repairs. If anyone reading this locally needs a good handyman h-vac guy, give me a call. Rich will be looking for a job when he gets here.

I thought I would share with all of you who are not my facebook friends. I was tagged in this photo from 'Downtown Fort Walton Beach' on facebook, taken at last friday night's art walk. I went downtown with a table of goodies, and my Girlfriend Tina. We got to Reconnect with gifted and expanding band: Destiny Reggae. I enjoyed meeting Chris the New Sax Player, and Drew the New Bass Player. And seeing the Other Drew and RJ again. Maybe someday I will sit in with them again on bass. For now I am happy to be able to share my art with others Down Town. Also I have started selling at Shangrila Boutique in Down town Fort walton. Denise is carrying a rack of my items, and I am looking forward to a mutually benneficial business relationship with her. So check out her great vintage boutiqe on the west end of Down Town Fort Walton Beach!~ Here's Tina And I am in the Smaller Picture Below, sorry I couldt get it any bigger. Isn't Tina Beautiful in my Tie Dyes? I love her such an Earth Angel!

cobia time!

We Had a visit from our dear friend Jon Floeming This week, He is on his way through to pick up his mom in Winterhaven And move out west to California. So Jon treated us to a Grilled Fish Dinner here at Casa Ghetto Fabulous. He couldn't take the left overs with him, so we have grilled Jerk Cobia salad sandwiches for lunch today on Pumpernickel. YuM.

Thanks Jon! I am in the Throes of yearly and quarterly taxes. See the to do list on my white board: Part of my FUN with taxes is counting the inventory by hand and coming up with a dollar amount for its value. All the things in the totes and on my racks had to be counted. I am about done with that phase now. Our friend Jon is Pictured on Dave's Bike Below. Tommorow will be just as busy as today and most of Thursday. I hope to be done with all the preperations and able to make an appointment with my accountant on Friday. I hate tax time.

Been Busy at Work

I have worked the last ten days in a row, and this morning the kids are gone and I am trying to get some things done. My Girlfriend Tina gave me some carpets, Dave and Cousin Jim Helped her move, So today I am shampooing them in the driveway. I think I will put the big one in our home gym...see pictures.

I also have to Work on the Taxes today but First I Am going to eat this bruschetta I cooked up for lunch!

I ordered some tomato 'trees' on the internet, and some Hanging strawberry planters so the adventures in urban gardening continue. We love fresh tomatos for bruschetta and salsa, pasta and pizza. My Last Strawberry plant produced 3 berries. Delicious, perfect Berries, I called them 8 dollar berries. since thats about what It cost me to grow. I am not giving up, Back to the drawing board with Berry Planting and produciton. The thing i love about Strawberries is that they are Perrenial. A good set up will produce for years. I am also planting basil, other herbs and peppers, which always seem to do well here. More Garden News later.
