This happening needed its own post.
Jam. Born 11/1/25. Picked up 12/20/25. Mother is a Bernese mountain dog and poodle blend. Dad is a yellow lab. He will be big.
Lots of ground to cover.
It’s been a while since I last posted. We have been pretty busy. Unfortunately the gallery pictures aren’t really in order and I am to lazy to rearrange them.
Goodbye old friend.
I didn’t have the Land Cruiser for as long as the GX, but I loved it. I had hoped for it to be Luke’s first car, but it apparently needs a new transmission and he doesn’t have enough money in his piggy bank to replace it. I am on the lookout for another GX or two though, so he might end up with one of them.
Fun on the Mountain.
Fortunately this week wasn’t all shed building. I was also able to go photographing a few times and spend time with friends.
Building a shed on the Mountain.
This week my dad and I built a 10×14 cedar shed at his house in Monteagle. Other than a few small hiccups the project went really well. We just need to add a ramp for the lawn mower. It will be very nice to have the storage space.
Early morning in Pelham.
This morning my friend Eric and I drove down to Pelham to take some pictures. The light was glorious and there was some pretty fog. It felt good to be out and photographing.
2025 book 17.
It’s been a bit of a dry spell. I think I read one that I haven’t accounted for. I’ll try to figure that out. I enjoyed this book; I’m not very into classical music, but this did provide a fascinating glimpse into Mozart’s creative output.
Michigan July 2025.
Our family spent last week in Michigan with Liz’s parents. Luke had spent the prior week as well. It was a nice time although hotter than expected. It feels good to be back home.
Hohenwald.
This morning we drove west to Lewis County. Our first stop was a lavender farm which was having a little festival. That was kind of boring, plus I was a little upset about the absurd price I paid for some baked good. Next we drove about 12 minutes to downtown Hohenwald where there was another little festival. Luke enjoyed the inflatable obstacle course and Liz went in a couple of shops. On the way home we hoped to have lunch in Hampshire, but the restaurant was closed. So we stopped at the newish Towne Coffee in Columbia. It was nice.
Summer is here.
Sorry, no pictures to make this more interesting. Luke’s summer break started a couple of weeks ago. He is enjoying it so far. We have been to the splash pad a couple of times and done a bit of work at the house. Lots of travel is looming.
