WHAT'S MY FUNKY INNER HAIR COLOR?!?




Your Hair Should Be Orange



Expressive, deep, and one of a kind.

You pull off "weird" well - hardly anyone notices.



OK...I MIGHT BE TRYING THIS NEXT TIME.

"THE GARAGE-MA-HALL"...work update



Just walking -n- talking....
Maybe this is a new Olympic event???





What is a garage-ma-hall, you ask??? Well, this one is an 8 car garage with a loft style "office, gathering space, and kitchenette" on the second floor with a balcony and roof deck. It sounds kind of mundane right now but check back for the "fire escape stair" installation.

The Maiden Voyage



THE AIRSTREAM DREAM....

Visions of shiny aluminum trailers danced in their heads...
Well, the airstream dream has been years in the re-making and it has finally come to fruition. This journey could have qualified for its own personal blog. It took longer to restore, remodel, & rehab this tiny little trailer than it will take us to adopt a child from China!!! We could probably have adopted 2 children from China in the time it took to make this airstream dream happen. Just some background information on this tin can. It is a 1948 Airstream Wee Wind model.
So without further ado, here are some before and almost-after photos. I will be adding more pictures ASAP from our maiden voyage. If you have an airstream or vintage trailer of your own please share.
More photos of the transformation



BEFORE PIC...it's not so bad, right?


WRONG... it was pretty bad.


VERY WRONG... it was a disaster.


Visions of shiny aluminum trailers danced in their heads...
ALMOST-AFTER... see I told you I had a vision.


OK, VERY SHINY... inside and out!

HERE WE ARE....AT THE TWHNC


Where, oh where have we been, you ask??? Well, we have been to compete in the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration aka The Celebration in Shelbyville, Tennessee. First of all, photo courtesy of Shane Shiflet. Thank-you. Finally... a picture to be proud of. Now, it's time to brag!!! What a beautiful horse I have!!! I am one proud horse-mama. As one of the locals in Shelbyville said, "sheez a lawng n lean, mean wawking ma-sheen." I totally agree. She is awesome.
She's All That Jazz
So, "Thank-you's" go out to Russ Thompson's Stables and especially to Greg Bryant. Great job guys! We will be returning to So Cal this week. Phew...gotta get out of this heat and humidity. 105 degrees with high humidity is too much for me to handle not to mention my dog children. They are roasting. The pavement is too hot for their tootsies. Yee-ouch! So, final packing tonight and a hopeful early departure tomorrow morning is in order. YEE-HAW!!! (that's Tennessee talk) California here I come!!!
PS. More of my adventure to be updated ASAP which will include my luggage carrier taking flight, pics of diners, project updates, and the airstream adventure.
