Hola Bloggerville,
another busy week for the Strehlo fam. New Years to celebrate, going to the Schoenrocks to see the northern crew that couldn't make it down for x-mas, painting the bathroom, going to the Zoo, etc. I think we are all starting to come down with a cold too, hopefully that's all it is.
Don't have a ton of pics for ya, but have at what I posted. I promise I will do my best to get some vids on here next week.
** Another new addition here. We were watching our Trueblood DVD, yes Sam has me watching vampire stuff, I guess it's popular now. Anyway, one of the most underrated "character actors" popped up. Stephen Root, AKA Jimmy James! Checked out his IMBD, that guy is in tons of great TV shows, . Newsradio of course, Seinfeld, Northern Exposure, King of the Hill, and Head of the Class! Also a few good movies- No Country for Old Men, Office Space, O Brother Where art Thou. You always hear about William H Macy and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but Root doesn't get enough credit. Maybe it's because he doesn't use his middle name/initial. Regardless, here's to you Jimmy James. ******

The new bathroom. The 3rd style we went with. Long story.

Max & Sam went to the MN Zoo with Rachel & Joey this week.




Hanging out in Woodbury Central Park

Special Thanks to Gary for helping (basically doing everything) for the Cigar Box bass. He was nice enough to do basically all of the work and even gave me the prototype. Haven't quite mastered it yet, maybe I can post a vid next week.
