Hope you enjoyed them. I'll post some Basket Project pictures later. We are heading out to the Credit Union and then to a museum and to visit a friend.

Laters!

TOD:

CD: Conan the Destroyer - Dynamic new Tadlow recording

DVD: This Sceptred Isle - Two disc collection of film travelogues produced by Harold Baim and shown in British cinemas between 1944 and 1974. I used to groan when the words "A Harold Baim Film" appeared on the credits and indicated another overlong short before the main feature but these films have now taken on the warm glow of nostalgia and I can now enjoy them. The colour photography is splendid.

Blu: Mysterious Island - I was late getting this but I'm glad I did. Picture and sound are spectacular.

DR Ben - CHRISTMAS!!!

And here's our front yard this morning - the gas pipeline replacement project has made its way to our block:

The guy in the hole has a counterpart drilling in our basement and I guess they'll meet somewhere underneath our front lawn...

Good Morning, once again.

I managed to nod off for a couple of minutes here and there between NYP and WAS. However, I'm sure that once I get to RVR, I'll be taking a nap before I go in for my (one and only) rehearsal.

I'm glad this weekend's parties aren't at our house...

Day 3 is here, but it's a very slow morning. My mom is out having blood drawn (a monthly event).

After getting 8 hours of sleep, I'm oddly exhausted.

What is eight hours of sleep?

Laura · « **Reply #45 on:** December 16, 2011, 07:57:22 AM »

Wow! Your house is very festive, Ben!

John G. · « **Reply #46 on:** December 16, 2011, 08:01:18 AM »

Love the photos, Ben. Making me feel bad I have no decorations up. But maybe that's why there was nothing taken yesterday in the burglary.

Ginny · « **Reply #47 on:** December 16, 2011, 08:35:01 AM »

And now they've brought out the big toys...

JMK · « **Reply #48 on:** December 16, 2011, 08:37:36 AM »

Ginny, do you have to pay for this or is it a City funded upgrade?

Laura · « **Reply #49 on:** December 16, 2011, 08:40:00 AM »

Ginny, I was quite distraught when the gas company knocked on my door and told me I was chosen for some kind of testing wherein they would dig up a portion of the gas line. I had only two years earlier planted my butterfly garden.

Laura · « **Reply #50 on:** December 16, 2011, 08:40:33 AM »

I would guess it is the gas company paying for this.

Yep, and we're hoping to get a new sidewalk out of it!

Utility company, DR JMK. They've been working all over our neighborhood since summer.

I'm just glad Lauren's graduation parties are at her Mom's house this weekend...

JMK · « **Reply #53 on:** December 16, 2011, 08:50:07 AM »

In Portland when this kind of stuff is "mandated," sometimes there are LIDs imposed where the homeowners need to at least help with the cost. Glad you don't have to.

Ginny · « **Reply #54 on:** December 16, 2011, 08:51:58 AM »

DR JMK, if this were a city project I think we would have to pay all or part, but it's the utility company's idea.

John G. · « **Reply #55 on:** December 16, 2011, 09:02:51 AM »

Thanks again, all, for the notes last night. It's still kinda freaky and thankfully, a friend was able to be at the house for the carpenter while I went to work.

But I can't get too distracted from finishing this paper tonight.

Here is Lauren wearing her 2011 MAC championship ring, which she earned as student athletic trainer for the football team. The ring is as big as her head!

Cute.

DR Ben I always enjoy your Christmas photos.
