Family

This is a photo of Jerry's fathers side of the family, His Mom & Dad in the middle of the photo. I only met Jerry's grandmother once, what a beautiful person.
Back in the 70's his grandfather, would go shrimping with us, (when he'd visit from up north) we would hoist a ladder off the cat walk down under the Rickenbacker bridge in Miami. Jerry's granddad would stay up on the cat walk and fish, and make new friends. One night, one of his buddies had some whiskey, I guess granddad had a little too much and was hanging by a harness over the cat walk, we rescued him. Have no idea where he got that harness. When we would leave everyone on the catwalk would tell him, goodbye. We would come back to Jerry's parent house and clean the shrimp, it was a good time.

Practice piece.-Look at this little gem, Jerry did this a few years ago, I couldn't part with it. I do not know how he did this one, looks difficult, think it is Cuban Mahogany, I'll get back to you on that and how it was done.
We look for fossils on the beach and rivers, mainly sharks teeth and shells. I have so many that I put them everywhere and any place.

Dupuytren disease

Dupuytren disease
May 20, 2010 - Sorry I haven't posted lately, hard to type. I went to the hand doctor yesterday about my little finger, (I had a fall last month and my little finger made a right turn, ) I have to keep my two fingers bandaged for a month, go back in a month. While I was at the doctors I showed him the palms of my hand, he said that I had Dupuytren's Disease. Check out - http://DealingWithDD.com There are injection that can help. It tends to run in families. It is more common in individuals whose ancestors are from northern Europe. Now I know what is wrong with my brothers hands.

More Wood!

Beautiful weekend, dogs are back to cooling down in the pool, digging holes, eating my tomatoes, and relaxing in the shade, oh I can't leave out barking like a mad dog! A dogs life!

Worked in yard, mowed the lawn, I am back to doing grass art, just couldn't mow down those wild flowers!

Went to the Woodcraft store yesterday, Jer had to pick up some wood to finish a piece he promised someone, didn't have the wood so he had to place an order.

Jer had a wood alert Friday about some wood in Pembroke Pines, so he pick up three really big logs yesterday. Came home all bruised and cut up, his back is probably hurting today!
