So Much Happen'

My neat-o blow-up pool is full of water and ready for me to loll around in now, my VW Thing is back at Gary's Garage so that Gary can determine exactly what is needed to make it a car that RUNS ! I heard last night that my nephew, Hunter has gotten a summer job down here and starts today at 2 p.m.---more on that when I find out myself--he and his bud, Stewart are living in the twin bedroom at the Hardwood Dr house for the summer if they both find work.
Can't believe that these two 16 yr olds have been left in my semi-care and I have not even spoken to either of their moms ! Must be my exemplatory reputation ! News Flash---they have both been hired at Surf Style, one at G.S. location, one at O.B. location but the owners are going to let them work the same hours the days they work so Hunter can drop off Stewart and pick him up. $7 per hour, they start today. They can wear shorts and will need to wear a Surf Style shirt.

Still no rain down here, bright and sunny, but it is meaning that I am doing a lot of watering to make sure my bamboo is going to continue to thrive. I'm thankful to have my well.

Great dinner at Becky and Warren Gottsegen's last night down on West Beach. They are building a new home in Baton Rouge, very modern on two huge lots, and I got to see the plans.

Do You Know This Plant?

Image
I photographed this small weeping shrub in Pensacola in a front yard. The purple flowers and orange berries were present at the same time on this georgous plant. The same yard had some of the same species but with white flowers that were not nearly as vibrant. It looked great in spite of a very dry summer and it is planted close to salt water. I have been doing online searches trying to identify this plant to no avail. Click to see big photo

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Miller's Birthday Today

Image
Today would have been Miller's 26th B'Day. Here are some birthday photos from his 11th and his 15th birthday and a few others. In one he has on some of his Grandaddy's vintage Lily Pulitzer pants. In another he was so proud of the size of the catfish that he caught that he was holding the cat for size comparison. He only bleached his hair once. He walked into the room with the cat and put it on his head, but it didn't work out as planned and I always thought it was one of the funniest photos of him I ever took. Miller was the most brilliant, funny, charming, thoughtful, & loving person I have ever known. He was finishing up Grad School and had every pilot's certification possible for his age when he died. There is no telling what he would be doing today had he lived. We all miss him so.
