Setting the scene: with my friend Jimmy Sillas’ craftworthiness (sp?) and leadership and my ability to perform minor assistance, Jimmy has produced the first of two gates on May 31, 2011. Here one of our sons stands ready to cover our backs. Several years ago he built us a storage shed in the back yard and is still resting.

o(*J*)o  Just teasing, “D.”

Gate two constructed in as many days.

Thanks again, Jimi. The gates look great.

End note to this post: I take lots of pictures that I end up not being in and write quite a few blog posts that I am nowhere to be found either. So please indulge me as I post this picture of our most senior son Jeff and and I taken taken on August 8, 2006 (maybe  Smile) back when my “looks” were not being challenged so often.

Jeff and Dad-1
