Last tuesday the 22nd my mother passed away at the age of 83. She was a great person and I could have not asked for anyone better. So, we decided to take a few days and relax, after all the past few weeks have been very tiring, both physically and mentally. I was hoping I would never have to make the decisions I did regarding her wishes at the end of her life. It was very difficult watching her at that time and trying to stick to her wishes was just as difficult. On wednesday we headed for the beach and pulled in yesterday. The weather is absolutely perfect, 70 degrees, slight breeze and full sun after the morning overcast. We plan on stating for a couple more days and then head home. When i get home I will finish an entertainment center for the mother in law and get some pics posted so ya'll have have a gander. Then it will be time to get a new project under way for the pastor of our church, a book stand for a special bible. It will be made of walnut and walnut burl veneer with string maple inlay. It will be my first attempt at inlay and should be a lot of fun.

Thanks to everyone. We have had a few really good days here at the beach, wanna live here. I wish we had the resources to relocate and if we could it would happen tomorrow. The problem is the current economy wont allow that to happen. Hopefully one day all that will change.
