It is always a lot of fun to sit with my two brothers, remembering times long past and telling tales of our shared adventures. It has been a grand journey. Jenny, Howard’s wife, reminded us that we were celebrating more than 215 combined years of ‘wisdom’. Life is good!
Brother's second annual gathering
This week is the time for our ‘annual’ brothers’ gathering. My younger brother Howard is from Campbell River, BC. My older brother Garry lives in Ontario. Last year we went back to our childhood home. We decided to travel to Ontario this year. Once Howard and I arrived by plane, we jumped into Garry’s truck; our first stop was at Downey’s Farm. The farm looked fabulous and was packed with guests. We took a couple of selfies and did a quick tour with the owners, and we discussed next year’s projects. Then we jumped back in the truck to begin our three-day adventure as brothers.
Sculpting a tree
On Friday morning, the crew trowelled on a super-thick coat of fibreglass-reinforced concrete, and once it had set enough, Jay and I carved the gnarly wood texture to make it look like an ancient tree. The crew will sculpt the moon this coming week to make the Howl at the Moon sign ready for paint. This will be a fine-looking sign when it is fully painted. Stay tuned…
