I took this snapshot last week, but after surveying the yard this morning, I turned the sprinklers off! Yeah!
It took me twenty years to finally see this film! I heard the soundtrack first. http://www.ethiopiques.info Our friend Robert gave my hubby ethio jazz et musique instrumentale 1969-1974 and just by a chance, the hubby chose it on netflix. Emma, what took you so long? I have a good excuse, I had a baby! Yes, and my baby is going to be twenty! But that's a whole 'nother story... 
This is one of my favorite pictures of the man who always has a plan! He is the go to guy, the "jack of all trades" and damn good at pool! Above all that, he is the best grandpa on this plant earth!
Happy Birthday Toshi!
XOXOXOXOXOXO
I saw this image I Am Half Sick of the Shadows painted by the Pre-Raphaelite John Waterhouse the other day and all that I could think about was the popularity of crafting and the Etsy handmade phenomenon. Maybe if we dressed up we could work faster.
My most enduring memories of the 2002 PBS series The Forsyte Saga are of the house at Robin Hill. The series was almost entirely filmed on location in the northwest of England. But after just a little surfing the truth is that they built half of the set and digitized the rest http://pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/forsyte/notes.html#locations.
