Memories of Japan

We take the grandkids to our favorite Japanese restaurant in Broken
Arrow.

When I had my kitchen remodeled a few years ago the plumber screwed up the connection to the sewer line and now there is water under the house. Manuel Vasquez of About Plumbing is making everything right.

Good plumbers are as hard to find as good doctors or lawyers, and just as important.

The Vegetable Garden

As always, Smokey is a big help.

The vegetable Garden

We planted tomatoes, squash, peppers, and pole beans along the wire fence. Keeping the grass out seems a losing battle. We get some help from Molly and Will.

The Vegetable Garden

Tall cannas run the length of the 6 foot chain link fence that spans the back yard. In the 8 foot space between the wire and the wood fence behind it is a modest vegetable garden.

Video Clips of the Tulsa Powwow

Scroll down to the posts for the Tulsa Powwow for July 19. I took some video clips and have inserted them in place of some of the iPhoto shots.

Editing and uploading the clips reminds me of how much more trouble that is compared to the shoot and email of the stills. Maybe in some future generation of the iPhone we will be able to do vid clips.
