I planted these Cala Lillie’s under our purple plum tree about five years ago. They come up every Spring, but this is the first year they have ever made flowers.

This dog belongs to a friend of mine, he decided that he wanted to sit where the people sit and helped himself on up. Pretty neat dog.

Here you go Ray - I hardly got the peaches inside the door before my wife sliced them into bowls and dumped a scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream on them.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Peaches are my favorite also. In fact I have 5 peach trees, different varieties that ripen at about 2 to 3 week intervals starting early June and lasting into August. Those I picked today were the first this year, from the earliest-ripening tree (which also has the best flavor IMHO) but it's a semi-cling variety. The others are all freestone varieties. The plums are ripening now too.
We freeze some, and give away a lot. One of my sisters makes peach preserves and plum jelly. By mid-July my wife is usually threatening divorce. But about mid-winter a peach cobbler sure tastes wonderful!

Thanks for asking, this Thursday he will have a port sewn into his chest to start three months of Chemo therapy. a regiment of pills every day with liquid on Friday's so he can recover by Monday's. I did not know they had the pill kind of chemo. Other than that he has not said much about how he really feels, but I think good. I may make a trip to see the Porsche on display, and will ask him more about the restoration of it as for the new paint.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Went to a large flea market nearby this morning in hopes of finding a nice vintage Case folder or fixed blade. Celebrate Father's Day. Warm and sunny. Ddidn't find that vintage Case but did find a Case. Probably gave too much for the Sod Buster but I had to buy a knife and I didn't have one of these. Also found this a Mitotoyo Vernier for a buck, and the two feeler gauge sets, the smaller one is brass, the other has 6 sizes for gapping spark plugs metric and US customary and made in Lancaster, PA. The little brass guy is made in the US but doesn't say where.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Just returned home from a trip to SW Missouri for a family wedding this weekend. Anyone traveling I-44 between Tulsa and Joplin should get off at Miami, OK and see the restored old Coleman Theater. The building and the old vaudeville theater inside that once hosted acts like Will Rogers, Groucho Marx, The Three Stooges, and Tom Mix have been fully restored to its 1920s splendor, all done by volunteers.
Well worth the hour or so to take the free tour (donations accepted) to see it and learn the story of how volunteers saved the once run-down building the city wanted to demolish and replace with a parking garage! Here's what it looks like today, complete with restored chandeliers and original Wurlitzer pipe organ.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
That theater is a gem. Thanks for posting.
Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Steve, the Mitotoyo is a fine instrument. K-D tools are good. The brass feeler gauge set is used to adjust the gap in the car and truck distributors. Has to be non magnetic from around the mid 1970's forward. Not talking about the point gap for points and condenser used before that. Probably lots of other uses like boat motors.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
That theatre was certainly worth saving, its gorgeous.
Thanks for the feedback on the tools Bob, especially the brass gauge.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Beautiful old theatre and worthy restoration.
Birmingham volunteers have restored two of our old theatres, The Alabama and The Lyric. They are in the same downtown block. Both beautiful.
They are self supporting via donations and events, such as showing old classic movies.
The Alabama has its original Mighty Wurlitzer that comes up out of the floor to almost stage level.
