Fairin, I was checking out the pics you posted on here. Awesome pond! You have a really nice garden, some very pretty flowers. What is that vine with the purple flowers?

Haha.. Thanks. Your instructions are better. I did do a search for instructions on here before I posted mine, but I couldn’t find any. The more resources the merrier.

Bump… Here are some instructions on how to post images…

Tami,
This is for you. There are instructions at the top. Photobucket is what I use to host my images and Videos.

Best of Success to you.

Michael, This is my getting away from it all. Suit and Tie all the time conducting business with mostly retired folks putting together real estate deals as my family has done for 3 generations. Once a year I let it all hang out… Irish Weekend…

This is my little buddy “Fitz!” This Picture was taken at 9 lbs; now he is 13 lbs… His parents are 18 and 22 lbs and he is just 7 months old now. He is awesome!

The tile kid MIKIE and i put it together as we went cuz i kept changing my mind about the style… :))) imagine that ???

They sent me the wrong size tub…. but rather than all that shipping and waiting … i thought of putting a set in shelf for the lip… it worked out great for all the bath supplies. :))) The Bath is a MIX of OLD and NEW…. :))) it has been done for about 2 months now so i’m enjoying it at last :))))) i’m proud of it too…. it was a LONG project as i worked and saved for each step so NO DEBT !!!!

Ya see, now you have put my innovations in the public domain… That is my area 51. You found me out.

CHAPPY… I found your stash of prototypes for the dirty diaper disposal submissions… !!! heheheeeee YOU HAVE BEEN checking out all the diaper stations… :)))

No wonder i never found one… :)

Nope Fairin What you are thinking of is a snipe. Cheers.. snipe hunt..

I always thought a snook was what you were supposed to look for when “They” (older kids, or parents) gave you a brown bag and sent you out in the woods on a hunt. Spent hours out there and never came across one… :( heheeehee

Oh and thanks Fleta… it is really beautiful in the spring and added shade to the yard in the summer like Chappy stated…i started it from a seed 12yrs ago…:)

James,That snook brought back some pleasant memories of when I spent many hours fishing with my dad, when growing up in the Tampa area. I often caught more than my dad but we never did catch a snook.

He is so cute! Does he always look so surprised?“+”
That is a great natural cieling! And pretty too. I bet it is nice and cool under there in the summer.

That’s BEAUTIFUL.

My Garden crawled into my dog yard… not really i planted the vine to clime across it…it worked :)))

Hey Chappy…you might hv won with that fish… but that fish couldn’t win a cute contest against Bend10 here… :))))

Here… Fishy Fishy!

Good boy…Yummm!

Yes his head is as big as a bag of ice and his body thicker. I won the local spring Snook competition with that one and a lot of fun plus Tastes Great!
