Barking at Banners

I like to bark at airplanes towing banners – not other airplanes, just the ones with banners. The daddy made another movie of me looking up at the banner, barking at it, and then a picture of the airplane. Click the > to see me.

Traditional Irish Dinner

Corned beef brisket served with a dab of horseradish sauce along with red potatoes, baby carrots and cabbage. We had this dinner last Sunday and today we had left over corned-beef sandwiches for lunch.

Crystal Valentine

crystal.jpgVerna loves Waterford® Crystal, so I got her these tableware pieces for a Valentine’s Day gift: a crystal butter dish and a pair of crystal salt & pepper shakers. Verna took these photos which I combined into the single picture at the right. Click on the image to enlarge.

I was afraid that Waterford was going to go out of business last year when they went into receivership. Fortunately, the crystal is still produced in several European locations even though the original factory in Waterford, Ireland is no longer in operation. She loves the crystal pieces so much that I would really hate to have seen the supply dry up. Now, I will still be able to get Waterford for her from time to time.
