Rip Van Wood?


We visited Tower Hill Botanical Gardens this morning and viewed the "Flower Arraignments" done by various Garden Clubs. Quite a variety of designs, this looked like a cross between Rip Van Winkle and a Stump! Actually a lot of thought and work went into this piece...it was very well done.

"America the Beautiful"


Democrats, Republicans and Independents...it's imperative that we keep working to stop this business of the Donkeys vote one way and the Elephants vote the other way. Nobody is ever all right or all wrong. You'd think someone on the other side would agree to something!

Create Jobs...Now! By giving Tax Breaks, Incentives and yes...even Money directly to "The People".
Working together, Health Care can be improved, not totally destroy it in favor of a "New Government System"...Fix what's broke...First!
Do you think Congress will have the same Government Health Care Plan they want to shove down our throats?
Create Financial Stability by genuine banking reform, not just "Lip Service" and throwing "Bailout Money" at the Banks with no accountability, sure they're paying it back, how? by "Selling more Shares/Borrowing"...do you think that will bounce back on us?

Do you think Politicians of Both Parties used good judgement leading up to this crisis?
Shouldn't they pay a price for their complacency...nope, they just keep being reelected...who's fault is that? Ours and Only Ours!

Clean Energy, of course but how about building a strong economy using our conventional resources...not those of our enemies...and working toward Green Energy. The way we are going...Green Energy and Nobody can afford to use it...sure makes sense!

Global Warming...Maybe, Global Pollution...Definitely! But it's Global Warming that made Al Gore a Multi-Millionaire.

It's time we voted for politician that are working for us...not themselves. Have you ever checked out what they've voted for themselves over the years?
Google "Government Benefits...I Dare You!

Beware of Bigger and Bigger Government, the Secular Progressive Movement and Our Own Complacency...it's not too late, but the clock in ticking!
Comments Welcome...

3 Bay Engine House


This Large [44"x32"x21"] 3 Bay Engine House is quite a project but well worth the effort. It's "Stick Built" from a Garden Texture Kit, with a few added materials to give it a finished look. It's constructed using Waterproof Glue, Brass Nails and GE Silicone III, there must be over 3000 individually applied shingles. I can't wait to see it on a Garden Railway!

South Station 2009 Big Hit!







This years G-scale Railway was the best yet! An all new configuration let more folks view it and still left more room for SS passengers to get by. The biggest thrill was watching the little kids stand right up to the clear Lexan fence and see the Trains go by about 4" from their faces.
