Woody, Lisa, Gus, all of you...
I know we keep saying this but we SO appreciate all of your kind support. Getting this going, your comments, and Sam's awesome help and presence have uplifted us so much. My dad would feel so honored to have you all involved.
Hey, Tall Canadian! I'm glad you're dropping by. My mom thought she remembered your handle from when my dad used to post on here, and so she looked back and found where you had complimented him on his glass work (so cool). Dad really enjoyed talking with everyone on this site, and mom and I can smile when we think of how good it was for him to have some people with like interests to talk to, and also how nice you all were to him and are to us. When we see his posts to some of you and see the conversations, it's like we get to re-experience this part of his life a little. It's a nice thing for us to have.
With that said, I added a few more pics below. We visited my uncle in the hospital last night and so were a little too tired/bummed to get on the computer. BUT pics up to yesterdays finish are posted below. We got the first coat of blue on! There was a little snafu in that we all thought the blue was going to be a darker blue. I should have looked but didn't. Dad had originally wanted the commodore blue (which was the blue we were all imagining) but he could not get that color at the time so eventually settled on the twilight blue (which arrived at the house the very day that he passed). So, it's not really a snafu, just more came as a little surprise. We are going with it, and I think it looks awesome so far.
