| 2701.CRUZIN'S FIRE BY NIGHT
NUMBERS 14:14
And they will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have already heard that you, O LORD, are with these people and that you, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of FIRE BY NIGHT.
I love this passage as it so beautifully illustrates the loving relationship that the Lord desires to have with His people if we will only follow and trust...He is so magnificent, so loving and so very GOOD...
*****MEET CRUZIN'S FIRE BY NIGHT aka RUGER****
Ruger is a dark exotic black/white/mahogany tuxedo male. We want to give the Creator God all credit due Him for His precious hand in creating this handsome dog. We also owe our dear friend Dr. Deb Tibbitts a HUGE thank you for partnering with us to produce this boy and his siblings. She did an AWESOME job!!!
Ruger is what I envision a quality Rat Terrier should be. He has solid structural integrity, which allows for lovely movement, and deep rich color genetics. Ruger is the wonderful and unusual blend of fire and sweetness, intelligence and devotion. Thank you for stopping by and seeing our boy.
God Bless!

 | 2705.Coronado, CASan Diego, CA and Coronado, the island across the harbor from the city, are primarily Navy towns. The weather and natural beauty of the area probably accounts for it also being a major tourist attraction. In our short visit we hardly touched the surface of all the city has to offer, such as a world class zoo, dining, beach resorts, golf, etc., but hopefully these images will provide a sample of the huge appeal that invites visitors to the greater San Diego area. | |

 | 2713.Takahashi BirdsNOW AVAILABLE: The definitive book on Takahashi birds! Authors: Carol Takahashi and Julie C. Carroll For pre-orders go to Collector Books at http://www.collectorbooks.com/items/item_detail.php?item_num=8289
-----------------------------
Created by Yoneguma and Kiyoka Takahashi, these marvelous wood birds are miniature works of art. The Takahashi family were among many Japanese-Americans confined in Poston Camp, AZ after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
While in the camp, they participated in a craft class where they learned to carve and paint small birds and after release (3 1/2 years later) they turned this craft into a family business that continued for 40 years.
Yoneguma carved the birds out of white holly wood, starting with a jig saw, then smoothing and sanding the bird. When done, Kiyoka painted the birds (using an Audubon bird book for reference) with watercolors using fine camel hair brushes. 10 coats of lacquer were then applied.
A good day's production was 10 birds. The birds were mostly sold via word of mouth, though a couple of department stores (such as Gump's) carried them. Production was mostly lapel pins, but earrings were also made. Price on the birds in the early days was $2, but in the 1980s, the birds sold for $40.
Initially more than 100 species were made, both male and female, but eventually about 25 different birds were offered regularly for sale.
Some birds created before the 1970s have the initials K.T.; after 1970, the initials K&Y.T. with the date appear. Some are dated without initials.
There were copies made in the 1970s; these can most easily be identified by the manner in which the pin was attached. The Takahashi birds use small push pins while the repro pin backs are screwed into the wood. | |
