Old Town Kaunas 2014

Well I made it to Lithuania this year. I stayed there for 2 weeks. Nine days out of 2 weeks was more rain then sun. Had some sun, but not enough. Last 3 days I had some good sun, 80F. One of those days I and family went to Palanga. There, by the beach it was 86F.We had some fine food and some good beer. It was crowded. Forgot my shorts, had to buy a pair. Cost me 40$.Thats what you get. The next day we went to Kaunas. The old part of Kaunas. The 3 pictures are of old Kaunas. It is very beautiful. Sita Meta as buvau Lietuvoij. Dvi Savaites. Buvo daug Lietaus. Tris Dienas buvo Saule. Viena Diena buvau Palange. 86F. Daug Saules. Kita Diena buvau Kaune. Senam Mieste. Labai graziai atrode. Trys paveikslai nuo Seno Miesto. Pavalgiau Lietuviska Valgy ir skanaus Lietuvisko Alaus.

Labas    Hello, welcome to my chicken coup. I have 9 chickens. Finally they are beginning to lay some eggs. During the winter they give me only 1 egg a day. Now I am getting 6, that is because the temperature is getting warmer. Dabar jos pradeda man kiausiniu duoti. Kai salta, neduoda daugiau kaip 1. Dabar as gaunu 6 per Diena. Dabar ira 70F.

My Soup Bowls

This is my clay class. Last year the senior center asked the class  to make 50 bowls for a charity event, to make money for the center. It turned out so great, that now they want us to make 100 bowls. My wife and I made 48 bowls so far. The people in the class are helping some. Most of the bowls that are made are on top of the cabinet. Two of the bowls that I made, are the 2 you see. Kaip jus matote, as du padariau . Jau ira 48 puodai padaryti. Man ir zmonai raikia dar 52 padaryti. Kai simta turesim, tai parduasim ir pinigu bus padaryta sitam seneliu centre. Tai gales jie ka nusipirkti ka jiems raikes. Zmona ir as padarem 48.

  

A Joint Project

Another pot that I made last month, my wife helped me with the top of the piece. I have to give her credit , she is standing right in back of me.
Mano Zmona prie sito man biski padejo.

Large lidded coil pot

I could not make it to Lithuanian last year so I am now posting pics of pottery that I have made. Oversold seats and too many standbys on the day I was suppose to fly out. My cat is my critic who decides what goes on my blog. The glaze is Laguna's Agate which fires to cone 5 which is about 2100 degrees F in an electric kiln.
Negalejau islekti i Kauna paskutini Meta, tai as dabar idedu viena puoda padares is Molio. Meginsiu islekti sita Meta.
