Comment of the day...

As we were crossing the Golden Ears Bridge, we were admiring the eagles sculptures attached to the vertical spans.

 

As we crossed the bridge, Brian said, "They get beautiful eagles and we get big raspberries."

I think he has a point!

Huckleberry Hound

I have the Notes app on my iPhone and it is very handy, especially because I am married to a very funny fella!

The other day my husband was reminiscing about the cartoons he used to watch as a kid.  He mention Augie Doggie, and Yogi Bear, but his favourite was Huckleberry Hound.  Saturday cartoons were sacred - it didn't matter that they were watched on black and white TV.  Somewhere around 1968, Brian's parents got a colour TV and that son of theirs went into shock.  Forty years later, the shock has turned into a rant.   WHAT?  HUCKLEBERRY HOUND IS BLUE? HOW MAKES A DOG BLUE? DOGS AREN'T BLUE! EVERYONE ELSE WAS THE RIGHT COLOUR! YOGI BEAR WAS BROWN AND BEARS ARE BROWN.  DOGS ARE NOT BLUE!

Bethany and I love Brian's rants.  He makes us laugh every day....and that is a very good thing!

Meccano - the Adult Version

Brian had tons of Meccano when he was a kid; in fact, we still have his Mecanno in our storage room.  He loved building things then and he loves building things now.  Brian's current project is building the best TV antenna possible.  We don't use satellite because we have Netflix and our Apple TV. We don't use cable because we have an antenna.  We have had several versions, and each one is better than the last.

We have a big antenna on our chimney and we get 8 channels on a regular basis and some of the are even in HD!

The latest revision is pretty artsy.  I love the look of it and it currently sits on the top of our TV student. I also love the way Brian makes practical things aesthetically pleasing....my builder-man is also an artist!
