The more things change, the more they stay the same

Well, today didn't exactly turn out the way I had planned it. Today was going to be big production in Little Misses crib. I just needed one quick trip to Home Depot to pick up some material to finish Erica's room then the rest of the day was to be spent making sawdust in the shop. Things were going according to plan until I went to straighten up and heard/felt a rather sickening "pop" in my back. The kind that leaves you barely able to breath. That sort of gummed up my plans for the rest of the day. Being fairly well medicated, it was pointed out to me that I had no business around sharp tools, powered or otherwise. So in looking at some old photographs of a time when I was more flexible, I found a remarkable similarity and forty years seemed to slip away...

Guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks after all......

Tag.....

It would seem that because of my lack of blog-ness, I've been tagged.....

Here are the rules:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here we go, jump starting my blog...

1. I love baking and eating bread.
2. The only thing better than my four Daughters is thier Mother...
3. I fought the good fight against iPods. I lost and so have embraced the stupid things.
4. I'm the youngest of thirteen Grandchildren.
5. I have flown over half a million miles.
6. My only regret is not meeting my wife sooner.
7. According to my wife, I'm the Greatest Lover in the Universe.....

Tag. You're it....Nothing was said about "tag-backs".. Yannette, Jessica and Tami.
Okay, so I don't know more than three people with blogs......

A sawing we will go......

It's all starting to come together and it even looks like a crib. During the last week the top caps were installed:

And despite the puzzled look it's coming together rather nicely..

Just think how much I could have done if I had not spent all day Saturday baking....
