Invenergy Plans To Build Wind Farm In Illinois.

The AP (5/15) reports, "A Chicago company plans to build a $400 million-plus wind farm that would stretch across two eastern Illinois counties." Invenergy LLC announced that "it has deals with property owners to erect up to 133 wind turbines on 28,000 acres in Champaign and Vermilion counties." The AP notes, "Building, if permitted, would start by the summer of 2010 and the wind farm could be running by the end of that year."

It is so light and airy.....I'm thinking I'll make myself one too because June in Indiana could be hot and sticky.

Whoohoow. Everyone gets new dresses!

Finished Sandy's dress for Rita' wedding! Sew-easy!

I hope not! We would all die if Frankie didn't bathe for even one day (just ask Nathaniel and Merel).

I think Roman challenges himself to that everytime I see him.

I challenge Roman to that every time I visit him.

I do hope they read the "try not to bathe for a week" challenge...
I'm sure Tracy and Frank will appreciate that!

Interesting trip to Pittsburgh yesterday -- left Spokane shortly after 6 a.m., arrived in Pittsburgh shortly after 8 p.m. Even with a three hours time change that's a long trip. The good news is I can now manage a free flight somewhere else!

Snowed here yesterday.
That would be the pirate book that Frankie and Sandy are reading.

Mom is at our place again after a day of travel.

we'll be getting that tonight. Thank you ao for sending it our way.

Brrr. It hailed again.

Thanks for all the wishes everyone. Spent the day down in Beverly Hills. Had a nice lamb dinner with a couple glasses of red wine to make up for it.

stay classy, relho

pics/vids from the weekend

Great pictures RSO. We needed you in Spokane down at Riverside Park yesterday. There were some great scenic shots. My batteries had died already, don't know how the rest made out. I'll get my pictures up later this week.

Nathaniel, Happy Birthday!!

Good times in Pullman! We're letting Sandy sleep in this morning.

Happy Birthday Nto!

Happy Birthday Nathaniel.

My first night in Washington[http://picasaweb.google.com/atir79/2009_05_08?authkey=Gv1sRgCJaC4bq_g-Tk7QE#]

Happy Birthday V!

Happy Birthday, Veronica.

Happy Birthday Veronica. Hope you have a fun day planned.

Happy Birthday Veronica. Your card is in the mail as of today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VERONICA!

We are, however, NOT bringing a van. We decided that those pictures did not look like fun.

Yes, camping. The Doughers have a sleeping bag for you, but you should bring warm clothes to sleep in. Actually, given that the temperature is about 15 degrees cooler here, you should bring warm clothes.

I always have extra if you need to borrow something, though.

So, is camping still on the schedule for this weekend. Just curious what I need to pack as I am trying to pack light.

Done writing my last final. Now I have to give it, grade it, and interview one more candidate for the Landscape Design position.

Looking forward to partying at Adrienne's!

And for future planning....no pressure on anyone, we will be keeping an eye out for it, but we'll be hanging out with all of you soon......we are attempting to exclude Red food dye from Sandy's diet (generally found on the ingredients label as FD&C Red #40). You wouldn't believe what that includes. Anyway, it won't solve her problems, but it may help alleviate some of the symptoms (worth a shot anyway).

You're all looking forward to partying with us now, aren't you?

Arrived in Spokane about 10:30 this morning. Had a wonderful lunch at Coeur D'Alene hotel on the lake with a friend of Adrienne's and his folks. Came back to Pullman and slept for a couple of hours while Adrienne went and worked on her writing. I'd been up since 1:30 a.m. pacific time so the nap was necessary to make it awake this evening.

Cold rainy weather here as everywhere else I've been lately. One of these days I'll hit somewhere warm again.

taod, you can bring your dog if you need to. there's a place for her to run around at Andrew's house, and I think Lily would like someone to play with. I'll call you tonight.


nto, are you or merel allergic to dogs, because the house you will be staying at has a dog there typically?

can we get closure on the lizard guts in the kitchen? or did
we already?
