August 2014

I seem to be 3 months behind on the blog, so it’s time to take drastic measures.  Here’s what happened around here in August.

I made a storage table for the workshop and turned Gryphon’s school shirt from Saipan into a little pillow.

The beach was windy enough to kill our little kite, but still entertaining

Shortly after, I took the kids to visit Nanna and Dar Dar.  We stopped at the totem carving center in Jamestown on the way.

Gryphon invented a hair twirler that worked a little too well.

Even though it was our garden’s first year, we had our hands full with vegetables and stuff.
