I hear you. The story of Nicodemus is one of my favorite stories of the bible: the elder, respected member of society who finds himself dissatisfied with his life sneaks off to find greater truth. When he gets to the teacher, he is told that, essentially, everything he has known and lived must be re-formed, regenerated, renewed, refreshed, re-birthed. From a later verse: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh or whither it goeth. Like the music: I'm not sure where it comes from, or where it goes, but I hear the sound of it. | ||

Glad to contribute any way I can - I continue to be amazed every time I look at the latest photos - it continues to surpass. And maybe I'm just a little happy it will be living in Texas just down the road  | ||

Mike?! Is that you, I was wondering when Jill was going to let you come out and play! Plano...nah... I think a little southeast of there will do just fine. Olie (WOW post #1800, and in 2 years. Maybe I spend too much time here) | ||

Ok folks, this is what's kept my mind preoccupied the last year. Paying for wedding and losing my last daughter, (you can keep that ol adage about gaining a son in law crap. while I like my son in law and he's a good man NOBODY treats 'em like daddy does). NOW, that I've had to let this beauty go,  PLEASE tell me we're getting close to my new beauty being ready. I need something to ease the pain of an empty house. Lonely O, (sigh) PS. A thought, my wife carried our baby for nine months, this new baby is gonna have a full head hair and eating solid food when it gets here. LOL | ||

Hey, Olie, where did you hide this beautiful young lady when I visited you last year ? Do not pack your house with Alembics, some little "Olieolivers" may come around fairly quickly... who knows all the best to you all, your Christian oh, and the other young lady that you are awaiting is beautiful, too. don't forget to breathe... | ||

Heather was out of town on vacation last when you were here last year. I'm TOOOOOOO young to be a grandpa. I hope they wate about 10 years first. LOL I'm breathing, (more like panting), and getting antsy. Olie | ||

Olie - Your daughter is beautiful - congratulations to you and her and her Mom. And you've inspired me - I've got two daughters and I'm sure I'll have to deal with this in the next 5 to 10 years . . . if I can persuade Kathy I need a new custom for each wedding, I may make it through okay JFT | ||

Olie, That's a beaut. It's one of the few Alembics with omegas that I actually like (I'm not an omega fan, but to each his/her own). And I really dig that body shape. I'm sure she'll play and sound great! Best regards, Alan |
