These are some old chairs Eric and I are repairing and refinishing for some old people we know. HEE HEE!!! :-)
Please notice the PINK shirt! Don't let Eric tell you he did it all himself! LOL This is actually quite relaxing, the sanding and fixing I mean. I had a hard time pulling myself away from it.
Primed and waiting for a coat of satin black!

Christina and her Great Uncle Kurt, getting a lesson.



Uncle Kurt jamming. He's recovering from his cancer at my mother's house until he's strong enough to move back to San Diego. He's incredibly talented with the guitar. This is the first time I ever saw him hold an acoustic, he's always been on an electric. LOL

This is Master Gunnery Sgt. Higgins, Eric's Grandpa. He had an amazing military career, one of the best I've read about to date. I began a scrapbook for my m-i-l with items from his career. The neatest things I saw were postcards and "V"-mails(Victory) to Eric's Grandmother. He always called her, "my darling" or "dearest love" or "my sweet darling petunia". His words were so tender despite the battles that raged around him. I believe its just another great example of not judging a book by its cover. I was honored to meet Grandpa Higgins before Eric and I were married. He was very lighthearted and smiled a lot. I think Eric misses him. This is his favorite picture of his Grandpa. He was quite a Marine, he was quite a man.
I just know you're all dying to see this picture! LOL This is a picture of the island of Okinawa, where I used to live. Of course it has changed quite a bit since this picture was taken, but this is it, this is where I lived. Both of my Grandpa's saw action here and Grandpa Higgins was stationed here later in his career. Pretty neat I think.

Christina and I started playing racquetball about a month ago. You can't tell by this picture but she really enjoys it! She just doesn't like having her picture taken. Even Pooh likes to play. So I'm hoping that between softball, racquetball, football and cheerleading and the amount of time I'm on the go each year I'll be dropping some weight! LOL Even if I don't, I LOVE playing this sport with my baby girl!
