Ma and dog toys small

Ma loves dogs, and sometimes shops for toys for them so that when we get to babysit one or two, we have something for them to play with.

Her favorites are the ones designed by Chris. Call her biased.

Car Wrap …. Car Graphics

What an adventure. I got to go to a Car Wrap seminar in Phoenix. I am very eager to teach my students how to wrap cars with vinyl. This is a Rodeo. The class was in Arizona. There are no salt rusted cars in Arizona. But there are a lot of sun baked cars. The clear coat and paint on this car is toast. It was the center of this learning project. We used practice vinyl to get used to the feel of wrapping it. Wrapping a vehicle like this has special considerations. Many of the other people in this class were there to learn to wrap cars. I was there to learn about that and the techniques of wrapping so I could prepare my students in the proper techniques of car graphics. I focused on a new car with many curves to learn how to wrap difficult surfaces (read curvie).

Seen below is the contrast between the sun baked surface of this car, and the vinyl application.

A close-up of the graphic. Basically we took a nasty looking car that no self respecting gang banger would want to a hot looking car that will probably get ripped off in the next two week. Or at least a "one off" car that the cops will immediately recognize. I am betting they will name it the "dragon wagon".

And now for a shot of the finished project…. the Dragon Wagon.

Swiftly flow the days

Congratulations Graduate and Family!

Is this the little girl I carried,
Is this the little boy at play?

I don’t remember growing older,
When did they?

When did she get to be a beauty,
When did he grow to be so tall?

Wasn’t it yesterday when they were small?

Sunrise, sunset, Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days.

Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as we gaze.

Sunrise, sunset, Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden with happiness and tears.

What words of wisdom can I give them,
How can I help to ease their way?

Now they must learn from one another,
Day by day.

Last night Miss Em received the sacrement of Confirmation. Look at how tall that kid is! Also pictured is her Aunt Pambo, and some guys in robes.

Miss Em is completely capable of being graceful and serious, or landing a part in a play and unabashedly enjoy clowning around on stage.

She is a fully capable young lady and we love her.
