Interesting. I'm not exactly sure what instrument he's playing, but something tells me they didn't exist during the Renaissance. I guess he had no desire to learn how to play the lute . . .

It is nice to read of a family that sticks together Taps, not many do that theses days.

Re: Re: Ciel
Well, when you have a really good ship's wheel, you don't get rid of it!

Re: Ciel
Making props and stage sets was always the thing Son loved most. Recently he found that Portland's NW Children's Theater had revamped his ship's wheel he made twenty years ago for Swiss Family Robinson and were using it for their Peter Pan play in December. It gave him a pleasant charge that they had kept it around for so long.

...and I'm glad those words restored your impetus!
I think of you and springtime buds, since you identified redbud for me several years ago, when I was seeing it all over the DC area one spring. I like knowing the names of things, it makes them friends.

Son #3 does sound like Charlie!
He sounds wonderfully creative! One of Charlie's favorite things is making props for shows. For one last fall he had to make a weasel!

Re: Trusted_Servant
Phil is my oldest grandson. He will be 28 in February, but he was born with Angleman's Syndrome and has the mental capacity of a two-year old. He has never learned to talk, has all the mannerisms and emotions of what one would call "the terrible twos", big and strong, needs constant watching and care. I have written so much about him through the years and posted so many pictures, that I forget there are new readers who don't know him.
