Cleaning out some “filed” emails I came across this one from almost three years ago. Better than late than never I’m posting another project by my Mom. In her own words:
Hi Tracy,
When I was talking to you about making the jean purse and items for Paris and Mars, I mentioned that I had also picked up a pair of embroidered jeans that I was going to make something out of for Ally for Christmas. I finally got around to finishing it up this morning, so as you said to do – I took a picture. Read the rest of this entry »
Mars just finished another week at Rock Academy here in Asheville. At the finale concert the kids tore the roof off with an eclectic mix eight cover songs. Mars recommended this Riptides cover from their instrumental record Mental Therapy. Very surf rock and I love it. Notice Mars’s attention to stage presence. He’s fun to watch, because he looks like he’s having fun.

An evening stroll at Buckroe Beach. I have fond memories of the amusement park that was still there when I was a kid.
Fireworks finale from Fort Monroe. My parents live on Mill Creek directly across the water from where the fireworks are launched. Always a good view.
Osprey nest over on the Fort Monroe side of Mill Creek. My lady loves the birds, especially raptors.
Boating on Mill Creek with the yacht my dad and uncle recently bought. We usually canoe but considering the heat I didn’t mind the motor.
Saturday morning before we left Mars and checked out the hot rods at a car show in Asheville. I’ll do another post with some pics.
Friday before we the trip Mars and his friends at Rock Academy put on a show. The one song I didn’t capture in its entirely, tragically, was Mars singing (what??!?) “Ace of Spades” by Motorhead. I need to post this on Imheavyduty.com too.
I’ll do another post about the hot rods, probably.
