Driftin' and Dreamin' and Max

Max.  Since this photo was taken he has lost his collar.  He tends to lose a collar every few months. He is now wearing a bright orange hunting collar but I don't like that he doesn't have his tags.

Driftin' and Dreamin' and The Beatles Classically

"The Beatles Classically" is the Eggmen Beatles cover music show when they are lucky enough to be backed up by an orchestra. This photo was taken 2 years ago when The Eggmen played with members of the McCallum Chamber Orchestra.  Marisa is playing violin with them again tonight at The Paramount Theatre. In this photo she is 3rd from the right next to the cellist.

Driftin' and Dreamin' and the Finch Feeder

Tony has been feeding the finches.  The thistle seed needs to be replenished every other day.

Driftin' and Dreamin' and Toe Socks

Cristina sees no need for shoes other than flip flops, even in the snow.  Flip flops and boots.  No other shoes need apply.

Driftin' and Dreamin' and a Woodpecker Knocker

Sam made this woodpecker knocker at school in woodworking class, quite a few years back. We are pleased to use it for the first time at the new house.

From Lost Sailor by The Grateful Dead


Where to go, who to go, where to be, who to be.
That means you're driftin'.... driftin'
Yeah driftin' and dreamin', really goin' on a dream now.
Really goin' on a feelin', really goin' on a feelin'.
Driftin', driftin' and dreamin'.

Cause it's a place you've never been
Maybe a place you've never seen now
You can hear them callin' on the wind
Driftin' and dreamin', driftin' and dreamin'.
Really goin' on a dream now, really goin' on a dream now,
Really goin' on a dream now.
