While I’d like to post my 3rd and final video on the pizza oven, it’s just still a long way from done. It’s coming along… slowly though it may be. Here’s a pic to show you the current progress. So many people think… pizza oven, what’s taking so long. So…

If doing the prep wasn’t enough of a chore… building the actual oven, was a mathematical, mind bending, brick laying challenge. But gratifying none the less. The bigger the challenge, the larger the reward. We worked hard, and yielded great results. They have been making pizza ovens for centuries……

We took the Verde Vally Train with some friends the other day. It reminded me that it’s fun to do activities you have done before with someone who hasn’t. It’s like Christmas, seeing it through a child’s new eyes… it brings joy seeing others expressions and delight in the new…
