Quilt Show!

                                                         They were all beautiful!

                                          The show was about 2/3's of what it was last year!

                                                                Close up shots!






























Wood Carvers Show!



My friend Ann's stuff.  She goes to Yoga too!


Lucy & LeRoy!


This n that!

 I was laying in bed one morning and was startled by Luc barking like crazy.  What happened?  This not 20 feet running right past Luc and our camp.

                                            Bed head! What a cute picture of me?????
                                                We celebrated Kathy's Birthday.

The crew at the cafe!
Luc and Mom.

Calendar time!

I have been doing a bit of Spring cleaning!  Phil gave me a calendar last year!  They are good!  Enjoy!




























Catch up time!

The blue vest was hanging around in the American Legion. Do you see Ken sitting back there?

Other than it being a sick winter for me.  Hack, hack, cough cough in between 
having a great time with friends!  

The big guy...Ki!
Gringo Appreciation Day was just ok this year.  The weather was a little cool and we all came back sober!  The entertainment was a Cher wanna be that kept changing outfits but the worst part was the lip singing was poor.  Her two little dancing boys did nothing for me either.  I think I'll stay home next year!  





Our new assimilation Rita.

My best bud Phil!

Cher!

Sunday Joke!


Letter to a men's helpline.   ( it's all about priorities). 



Hi Bob,
 

I really need your advice on a serious problem:


I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs: if the phone rings and I answer, the caller hangs up; she goes out with the girls a lot. I try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home but I usually fall asleep.


Anyway last night about midnight I hid in the shed behind the boat. When she came home she got out of someone's car buttoning her blouse, then she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment crouched behind the boat that I noticed a hairline crack in the outboard engine mounting bracket.


Is that something I can weld or do I need to replace the whole bracket?

Current Babe photo's!

Babe has been under construction for the last month!  First welding on the man box, second adding the toolboxes and third rhino lining the deck.  It is, after Dave's hard work, coming together!


Tool boxes.

Back bumper.


Dave painting on the Rhino liner goop.

Done.

Wal la!


The man box was put back on last Friday while the girls went to 
Gringo Appreciation Day at the Pink Store in Palomas, Mexico!

Man box front.  The door is giving Dave a challenge.  
It is not shutting right.  
Don't worry he'll figure it out!

Working on the lights.  Electric is his least favorite task!
