adding to the family

So a friend of ours texted Mrs. the other day, apparently he has a few extra geckos, so we have adopted one, his name is Jumper.  The boys named him that because the first thing he did when I took him out of the cage was jump from my hand to my underarm.  Ended up inside my shirt, it was kinda funny.  The boys think he's great since they can hold him and have him walk on them.  Here are a few pics

Snow

We had a small snow storm last night, just 12" in less than 12 hours.  This is that heavy wet snow (glad I choose not to shovel after March 1st).  Here are some pics.

Double your Thematic Photo - TP 136

I have been extremely scarce for Carmi's Thematic Photos lately, but when I saw doubles I knew of one photo that I needed to post.  I apologize for being so scarce, but life has it's way of getting busy.  Mrs and I have sorta started a business, or at least a serious hobby, on top of all of the other projects in our live.  The most important project in our lives is the raising of our two troubles, who are seen here playing a video game, most likely Lego Harry Potter or Lego Batman or something of that sort.  Although there are 3 1/2 years between our troubles, they play very well together.  This seemed like a moment that needed to be frozen in history.

Using the scrap pieces of PVC pipe from a project I was working on a came up with new movie that I was going to introduce to Tim Burton, but Mrs thought Richard Pipehands just wouldn't fly.

Happy Birthday Ida

Today is my grandmother's birthday.  My grandmother was the quintessential Jewish grandmother.  She was brought up and lived most of her life in New York City.  This sign I feel is a perfect commemoration for her, Happy Birthday Ida.
