New addition to the family

Starla and I finally broke down and bought a new TV. It is 40", LCD and Flat panel. We are enjoying it greatly. We are in negotiations on paying for Hi-Def.

Sleepy dog.

Ruby had great fun at playcare today. She was beat when she got home though. I'm not sure why she dragged Tugsy into bed with her.

Presto. New bathroom.

Here it is. Multi-colored slate. Green walls. Toto toilet. Copper vessel sink and faucet. Antiqued vanity. Those tiles are still pretty pink, though. Thanks for the help Mom.

Church flowers

This morning Starla and I had the pleasure of providing the flowers for Sunday worship. We provided them in honor of Calliope.

Bathroom floor #2

This one might be original, too. Except for the fish I imagine. Soon it will be slate. It's getting a new toilet like upstairs. The sink will be a copper vessel. The faucet is copper, as well. Starla and I must pick a paint color and a vanity to mount the sink on.

Happy Family

Thanks mom. What a pretty little set of sock monkeys. I think Calliope will love them.

general of the opera

I played a crazy general in the ALO production of Merry Widow. It was fun. I didn't do much singing, though. Mostly dialogue.

News from the Bell is up and running. Check out the link to the right. Look for lots of animal pictures in the future.

MIA

Well, I've been missing in action. Asheville Lyric Opera's production of Merry Widow has been in rehearsal all last week gearing up for 3 performances this weekend. Beaver Lake has iced over a couple of times. Not enough to skate on, though. It looks beautiful especially when the snow falls on it. The last two weeks have found me feeling very blessed to live next to a lake. Our views are so pretty and we are still so close to town. It is kind of like living in Central Park. Except you have fewer mounted police officers. And the parking rules are easier to understand. Coming soon.....another bathroom gets demolished and redone. Look for the pictures.
