Memorial Holiday

This rather smiley fellow dropped by for a visit yesterday ... I believe he was attempting to get out of the middle of the wedding preparations for one of his wife's relatives.

He worked on setting up a DVD player on an XP computer that my wife has ... After working on my Apple eMac ... I was astounded at how difficult it still was to work with Windows machines ... The hardware was installed, DVD player software was downloaded (3 or 4 different ones), and still it wouldn't play. Seems we had to find the correct Decoder ... I will attempt to download and run one today to see if it will finally work.

In honor of Memorial Day, we went out to the cemetery to put plastic flowers on graves.

My wife said that "we" need to make a garden box ... so, the other foto is of a wooden garden box which I made to her specifications ... out of whatever lumber was the cheapest ... (it is currently upside down). I need to cut out the sod from that location ... hammer the legs down into the ground ... and mix in some compost and peat moss with the sandy soil. I'll show it again when it is finally done and has some plants in it. That dark object in front of it is a stump ... that I was using as a chopping block ...
