Soooo good

Amy and I really like the Honey Stinger Waffles and they might be the tastiest morsels one could desire during a longer workout. The initial packaging was a bit tricky though and not so easy to open, but the new ones open just fine. Yum.

Just imagine

The image below was taken in Indonesia where farmers use a road to dry their rice. Now imagine if that happened in Europe or North America? People don't even have patience /tolerance for farmers driving tractors or cyclists on the roads.

ARTpARTy Februarus 2011

The ARTpARTy last night was a great success and we had an incredible 22 pieces of ART on display which were eventually going home with someone else. We also had a record amount of first timers here but that certainly did not show.

Betsy Hamilton started off the evening with a bang



Jeff Zillner's pillow was snatched up early



Maybe the only ARTpARTy moment when Bill Brewer did not smile



Laura Scott with her decoupage creation



Amy created a 3-dimensional art work and seemingly has a crappy photographer as a husband :-(

Almost there

With the ARTpARTy Februarus 2011 approaching with giant steps, my current art work for the pARTy has only limited time left in this house. It took me quite a bit of time to get these cement book ends finished, but they came out very nice. I also learned a lot in the process for future cement projects. Tonight's event though should be super exciting and word has it that lots of good art pieces will be exchanged.
