Another Kipp Howard

Recently, I created a Google Alert for my name to see what kind of things came up over time. Most of the top hits are from my questions and answers for various technology related topics. And, even though I have a relatively unusual name (especially with the double "P"), there are apparently a few other Kipp Howards out there.

Tonight I received a Google Alert in my email that linked to the first picture of another Kipp Howard. Hey, he has more hair than I do!

There is also another Kipp Howard who is a Sales Rep in Kansas City.

It is kind of weird for me, but I'm sure a lot of folks have more common names and this isn't a big deal for them.

I believe that Ilea will probably never hear of someone with her first and last name. There are a few other Ilea's out there but they are pretty few and far between.

Salmon Beach

Hi All,

I had been approached about a stained glass project back in June. We talked a bit, and then they got busy with other things. Recently I was contacted again, and in a short time we had this project finished! My customer lives in the house with the blue roof, and his brother-in-law lives in the one with the green roof, 2 doors down. This unique neighborhood is on the Gig Harbor side of Point Defiance, down a big hill. We had to carry the window down the hill to them in the end. They supplied me with the photo, and we went from there. The final panel was 56.5"x18", and went between a room with lots of light and a stairwell. It was a fun project!

Crazy Freezer

OK - I've been really good about freezing things since we got our freezer in the garage. This time I was freezing bags of pomegranate juice. Apparently one had a very slow leak. You can see the bags of juice on the upper shelf, and below it was this perfect stalagmite of pomegranate juice! It was dripping so slowly it just kept building up! Science in action - I love it!

Who?

Ilea, our fabulous reader, has been mispronouncing a word recently. We've been giving her a hard time about it. The word was Olivia, which was the title of one of her books, and she was pronouncing it like All-i (short i) - vah, more like the word Olive-ah. We teased her and told her how it was pronounced. She finished the book and we thought she was done. Then today while we were in Starbucks, Ilea lost a tooth. She said something about her sal-i-vah! We laughed!
