Back from Germany!


RJ is the boy seated in front, second from the left. He stuck his hands under his chin most of the time the official photographer was trying to get a shot!

We needed to completely dissect Bambu, one of Lillian’s four zhuzhu pets, to clean out his wheels and motor and give him some fresh batteries. Now he’s zippy once again!

Brett (and, apparently, now Lillian) gets really bad spring allergies, due mostly to the incredible quantities of pine pollen in South Carolina’s midlands. This is a picture of the driveway after a light sprinkling (5 minutes)…

That big locomotive thing in the background is an old steam-powered log hauler, used in forests and swamps around the Midlands of South Carolina.
