Now that the conventions are over

Thank goodness!

We can focus on our own display.  Every year we make a list of things that need to be done over the summer and send it out to the crew to see who wants to help with which project.

Just to give you a glimpse inside....here is the email we sent to the crew:


Now that we are done with conventions we are talking a weekend off and catching up around the house then going to Ashland for an extended Memorial Day Weekend.   When we get back we will be ready to get started on the projects for the year. 

Our big project will be to design and build a replacement for the Abby façade.   The new one will be bigger, free standing in the driveway and be more detailed.  It will hide the patio fence and the shop and look more like ruins. At least that’s the plan.  But besides this big project there are a few little things we also want to get done.

  3. Of all the to-do lists I've encountered, this is by far the most entertaining. Certainly a lot of work to take care of, but all of it exciting.

    I wish I had "build a replacement for the Abbey Façade" on my current list of chores...

    Always cheered by the efforts here!
