Sunday Music

It was a great fun filled weekend. We picked a direction (this time South) and decided to visit Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

Our stay in Only on Friday night was interest to say the least – but everything got better Saturday. After weeks of heat it finally decided to rain. Not much better than visiting wineries on a rainy day!

We started by visiting the Chatham Vineyards. They had wine fermenting in Oak Barrels for show and cases of wine that was waiting to be shipped. The whole room was climate controlled – she said they strive to keep it about 60 degrees so it was nice and chilly. The wines were excellent! They had a small selection, maybe 5 or 6 different type to choose from, but every one was better than the last! I especially enjoyed their Cabernet Franc (of course we bought a bottle)

We left there, admiring their vineyards and visited a few more, but the bar was already set and while their servers were full of personality, their wine just wasn’t right for us LOL

As we headed back toward home we took a few detours. We went to Crisfeild, Maryland. What a cute little town and guess what? They’ll be having a wine festival on July 31 – LOL Who knew! They had lovely views from the dock of the Chesapeake Bay and all their street signs had cute red crabs on them (it was like the theme for the town)

Then the rain picked up as we headed more north – something we really needed. I even heard there were streets closed for flooding in St. Micheal’s, Maryland.

Have an Excellent Sunday Evening Everyone!

My Other Job!

Ok, Hump day is over. I decided not to update yesterday’s “Its Hump Day Once Again!” post with pictures of the window replacements I installed this week, instead I decided to make a separate post with the pictures and tell you a bit about the job.

First and foremost, I have to tell you about the customer. This couple has been a regular customer of mine for years. They are older now – middle to late seventies – but they garden everyday. They have an awesome garden that they tend to religiously. The vegetable that have come from the garden have been awesome (they sometime have more than they can use and send me home with a bag of tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce and who knows what else!)

Over the years I’ve worked all over the house and every year we talk about their front porch. If we add a little more caulking and a fresh coat of paint, can they safely go another year without replacing the extra large windows on either side? Well, the heat and moisture this summer did the windows in and it was finally time to replace them. Here are some pictures:

Casement/Picture window before replacement with the top row of Cedar shingles removed.

Close-up of old window - notice the glass is sliding down.

Window on the right side of the porch. This is the new, low-e replacement window.

So, there you have it – Before and After! Just like the Home and Garden Show! LOL

Have a great evening!

Walter Cronkite and the Lunar Landing On Sunday Music

I have been watching the news in the last week.. I know, go figure! I couldn’t help but notice the whole Lunar Landing 40th anniversary and the passing of Walter Cronkite. I think that it is kind of ironic that Mr. Cronkite Passed away so close to this 40th anniversary of the Moon Walk that he reported on.

Walter Cronkite was an amazing reporter and thanks to Sunday Morning this morning, I even know that in some countries anchor-men are called “Cronkiters” I think that’s awesome! He reported truthfully and faithfully and millions of people listened and believed and respected him.

There are still people that don’t believe that the moon walk was real. I believe. If we can have computers so tiny they fit in the palm of our hand, why couldn’t we launch a mission to the moon successfully?

I asked a friend if she thought it was a conspiracy and her reply was, “I wasn’t on the Moon so I can’t tell you that I really know.” While only the astronauts really know that we went to space or to the moon, I hate to think that President Kennedy’s words “We are going to the Moon” were false and unfulfilled.

So what are your thoughts? And are you going to be watching the new “Digitally Remastered” films from the first moon walk?

Happy Sunday!
