...Happy Birthday to you / Happy Birthday, dear Shilling / Happy Birthday to you! (Courtney wanted pictures of cake and candles, but Tara said no.)Yes, Boxing Day (December 26th for those
of you who don't have Boxing Day) was our Shilling's first birthday, in the sense that we started work on December 26th, 2006. Like most one-year-olds, the Shilling still doesn't talk much, doesn't get around all that easily, and isn't allowed to drive yet.
We're almost done planking (man, I'm getting tired of saying that), as you can see from the portside shot. We're still looking almost sane, as you can see from the picture of both of us. That's probably about all we can ask for at this point. (And more coffee - we can ask for more coffee. It's very morning out.)

Harpy Bifday, many harpy returns!
"A twenty-year old wooden boat requires semi-constant maintenance, and if it happens that you are made happy sanding and varnishing and lubricating and doing minor carpentry, as distinguished from, oh, gardeing, playing golf and tennis, doing crossword puzzles, or reading books, then a wooden boat is made for you."
~William F. Buckley Jr., Racing Through Paradise: A Pacific Passage, 1982.
