Making guitars by hand. No power tools anywhere. It was a fun find on one of our walks. I think they are well known and make custom guitars.
These pictures are for Berta.
This cute lady is 89 years old and we found her in a corner of a little shop selling pictures that she drew with ink. She also made the paper by hand that they are done on. She was so sweet and loved to try to use her English with us. She even grows the flowers that she uses to make the paper with. I bought this picture from her for 25 pesos ($7.50).

Rexburg is really beautiful in the fall. Today is no exception. It was great to arrive early enough today to do a little yard work. We did make a dash up to Chiz's first for dinner. The trip home was pretty uneventful.
I talked to my brother Pat when we were driving home from the airport. His story about an airplane horror story in Hawaii this week has me thankful for all of our safe trips. His involves dumping fuel over the ocean to prepare for a crash landing (taught on the plane by the stewardess in preparation for a possible water or land crash landing because the landing gear got stuck). Shiver, shiver!!! Glad that all ended well Pat & Jen.
Here are a few more pictures from Argentina. The trip went beautifully thanks to people we have worked with before and the Ruckers who will be our right hand through all of this. We are thankful for everyone's support as we venture south routinely to help the newborns.

Glad you are home safe!
If you ever come across unique art work like that pick me up some and I will pay you back. Beautiful art work!
I have redone this post 20 times now and cannot make the words go where I put them. When I publish it they are all squeewompish.
ARRHHGG! Any ideas? No matter how I line and position the wording it goes crazy on posting.
Mary,
Rather than putting the pic on the left hand margin, center it and then put your text either above or below the pictures!? See if that helps.
Love the art work and the neat pictures - makes your travels come alive. Thanks!
PS.
LOVE the art work. Too bad you didn't get her address, we could order some and give her some business.
Your post is pretty cool as I love both GUITARS (don't know why) and artwork - being the x-artist that I am! I'll post one of my old pictures someday!
Thanks for the tip on posting. I cannot take the time to fix this one but in the future will try that. We go back to Buenos Aires in March. I will look her up and buy some pictures. I could also have the Missionary couple we work with visit her and tell her we want some pictures then. Such a cutey. Can't wait to see your art work.
did anyone notice that jeff is skinnier in 2007 vs. 2005? he's really doing well and slimming right down.
yes berta! unveil your stuff!
and p.s. that plane WOULD have crashed if pat & jen weren't on it. guaranteed! i am certain that their prayers (they are truly the most faithful people i know) provided a miracle!
Dad your sweater is too big. Keep it up. Glad you made it home safe.
I LOVE the little old lady! What a wonderful peice of art work to have, along with a beautiful story to tell.
I just love to read about your travels. You two are a gift to those people. Keep up the good work!
I was going to comment on how great Jeff looks too. You can really see a big difference. He looks healthy!!
