Jam packed day.. working very hard on something at work.. and not getting as far as I need to. very frustrating.. but still exciting stuff.   One hilight of the day was doing a Colony talk for engineering week  at General Electric Healthcare..   Ran into several old friends there which was nice.

I didn’t have much else to report for the day.. until I sat down to blog and found these drawings in my inbox. My friend Joan from the Cusp conference sent them to me. It’s a design conference.. very artistic. One of their artists. Mark Anderson. did these drawings of my talk there last fall.. I love them !.. What do you all think ?  I love it when stuff liek this happens..

Thanks you Joan, Thanks you Mark !

Nite folks.. Nite Sam !

Thanks you Homer Locke.. whoever you were .. Freind Wendy sent us a collection of old (1910 ish ?) photographs that someone found in West Bolotn.. There’s are sum great pictures of our house in it.. including this one that’s in the Richmond History book  (note the different windows) …

And this view of Jonesvillee. Oddly, I found this exact same picture on a postcard.. which must meant the postcars were made from this same batch of photos !

And a new phot I’ve  never seen of Jonesville in the snow.. You can see all the old buildings that would be washed away in the 1927 flood.  You can see the covered bridge which , rumor has it, washed out in the flood and took out the bridge in  Richmond.   Jonesville really has never recovered from that destruction .

What I enjoy as much as the pictures of our house and town is a glimpse of the people.. Who were they.. who are their relatives ? Do I know them  ? Will anyone ever look at us this way ?

ooops .. battery is going.. all for now
nite all , nite sam !

Really nice valentines day. I woke up still sick.. but felt much better . Diane made heart  shaped kiwis and rice pudding in a heart shaped bowl for gabe..

I took him up to the mountain.. then Diane and I took the girls for a walk.. We went down to the lower gorge for a change.. the ice was beautiful  and think .. being kinda feverish still I was glad for an excuse NOT to jump in the river 🙂

I also learned that today is Chinese new year  !

恭喜發財 !

That’s it for now.. We’re going to eat our valentines dinner .. More tomorrow..
be my valentine !.. Nite sam.. you’re always mine
