Trying Way to Show Artifacts

I am trying to give people a way to review my finds.

Artifacts

The Playground is Done!

We had the grand openning, and the playground was a hit! No splinters, and a great time for all kids from ages under 1 to 11. Sebastian drew up the ideas and Lisa used her skills to bring it all together. See Lisa DeShano's blog at deshanoplaygrounds.blogspot.com

Special thanks to:

• Jay for his original design and donating the exsisting structure


• Cody for the awesome artwork


• Ken for his building skill and use of all his tools


• Steve for the natural stick railing work


• Lu for her siding work


• Brian E. for his tools


• Norbert for the periscope idea and work on one board


• All our neighbors who continually encouraged us.

Crazy Winter 2008/9

Snow removal has been crazy this year! I guess I am getting old I hurt my back shoveling for the first time.
