months ago I put the copper pipe chimes together, that my beloved had made, using masking tape…
finally, I brought up the drill and found an appropriate bit…
took off the ugly green tape, put the top plexiglass piece into the clamp, and drilled six holes…
then I attached the six pipes to the top and hung it back up…
way to go me;-)…

we ran to the store recently and picked up a wind chime I’d been looking at for a while…
it is hanging close to a corner so it gets a bit of wind and sounds beautiful…
recently a neighbour commented on how nicely it pealed…

the new neighbours have put up some wind chimes… the kind that I like, not the high pitched tinkling ones…
wonder how long I will refer to the neighbours as new, lol…
reminds me of the wonderful ones that we had… they were a gift from friends and had a lovely deep sound…
one year we decided to make similar ones as our Christmas gift for friends…
George took ours apart to create the template and worked on them for weeks…
we had great difficulty finding the correct type of copper, but eventually all the bits and pieces were gathered up…
during that time he came down with an infection which damaged his heart… he just finished the gifts in time, as he was feeling so sick…
he never did put ours back together… I think the struggle to get the gifts done really tarnished his love of them…
a couple of months ago I found the bits for our original set, but apparently some of the pieces aren’t there…
I can’t figure out how to put it together but with the lovely sound coming from next door I think it’s okay…

last school concert of the season… this one at the little boys’ school…
this one looked so cute all dressed up… this is his last concert at this school as he will be moving to middle school next year…
where does the time go…
every time the little one saw our cameras, he posed, lol…
great performance with the chimes… kids were very focused to come in at the correct time… this guy likes music but is planning to focus on his art at the next school…
lovely shot of big brother and youngest focused on the performance…
we’ve never landed such great seats where we could actually see our kids without a zoom lens… the school had a great raffle and the winner got front row seats with assigned parking… too bad I didn’t know about that beforehand… maybe next year…
got a shot of all the gifts under the trees… looks lovely…
