A few weeks back a dear friend of mine asked me if I would like to join him go see a 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL in a small Oklahoma town, south of Oklahoma City. A car nut I am, how could I say no. My friend said if I could photograph the car as well and give my 2 cents on the value/condition of the car, it would be an added bonus.<br />
<br />
The owner of the car passed away some years back and the widow wants to sell the car but needed an independent opinion on the car. The car was stored at a European car mechanic shop for past eight years. It was an interesting trip, the car is at a junction, where either it can be used as a parts car or some brave person can get a full restoration done. Full restoration can cost way north of hundred thousand dollars and considerable amount of time. Even with a ceased engine, rust, missing soft top, busted tires and rotted interior there is a $25,000/- offer on the car.<br />

Though we had very interesting winter, early warm spring days followed by a very cold and wet spell, majority of the plants made it through. Poor fig tree had 16 figs growing while still in the garage but lost all the fruit after suffering through the cold spell out on the patio. Roses are doing very good, it was the first year my wisteria flowered. The fight with moles and gophers continues, hundred plus tulip and hyacinth planted last fall did not survive to bloom. But overall it is not bad so far. My Greek Oregano patch is back, it has done so well over the last six years. I had cut the small plastic pot from the bottom and stuck it in the dirt. Since then, very year I harvest a lot of oregano. Whatever is left after distribution to friends and neighbors, I hang in bunches in the kitchen to dry out. It lasts all winter. Here are a few pictures I took the other day of the patio area. Enjoy!<br />

I am alive and well, just have been busy with all that usual craziness of our modern day life. Gone through multiple adventures of life during the absence from the blog world, one of them "Victoria".<br />
<br />
In one of my insane moments I bought a 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230S aka "Victoria". The car sat for some years and I am going through the process of bringing her back to a respectable shape. All the mechanical rehab has been done (minus few small things here and there) and now some of the cosmetic and interior rehab is in the works. Hopefully I will be active on the blog and do a few posts on Victoria.<br />
<br />
Best wishes to all.Paisley Curtainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02869767014298868125noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462343507856586498.post-8016259455404523692016-01-09T14:22:00.002-08:002016-01-09T14:22:21.757-08:00Paris, day and night<a href="https://vimeo.com/teetertottertam/paris">https://vimeo.com/teetertottertam/paris</a>Paisley Curtainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02869767014298868125noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462343507856586498.post-39634848549430060752015-12-25T06:21:00.001-08:002015-12-25T06:21:56.298-08:00Happy Holidays!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVuWwiBl1ziCB7Tt4-At0Ngd3cEX9tC_L-0Ciz4S2rVSP69P82PVaE6VkoLvD6OeKKCulUVvO81_o6NAxox-dC0OlGx_qg-mYe0h0X9i1AQbFvHB7B4Xhhn743W5eMm-Ci7S7fa2g7djnU/s1600/Presents-for-Happy-Holidays.gif" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVuWwiBl1ziCB7Tt4-At0Ngd3cEX9tC_L-0Ciz4S2rVSP69P82PVaE6VkoLvD6OeKKCulUVvO81_o6NAxox-dC0OlGx_qg-mYe0h0X9i1AQbFvHB7B4Xhhn743W5eMm-Ci7S7fa2g7djnU/s320/Presents-for-Happy-Holidays.gif" width="320" /></a>Paisley Curtainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02869767014298868125noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462343507856586498.post-90596483478675292852015-12-24T05:56:00.001-08:002015-12-24T05:56:46.745-08:00It's the most wonderful time of the year!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Love, sympathy and support for people of Paris and France and for every peaceful citizen of the planet who is victim of any kind of hate, oppression and terror...<br />
<br />
Though this is not a political blog but everyone of us who believes in civility, love and peace has a responsibility to voice support against terror, oppression, injustice and for love, peace and justice.<br />

Ferris Bueller rightly said, " Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." For weeks I did not go in the yard, and then all of a sudden on Sunday morning at breakfast table I look out and all these roses are in bloom, from Knockout to Queen Elizabeth. I realized I could have missed them all.<br />
<br />
Brought some indoors so we can enjoy them more often than the ones still on the bushes. Hope your gardens are in bloom too and if you have not paid attention, please find a moment and take a look before they dry out and turn into dead buds.<br />

It has been more than a year since we lost Charles Faudree. His store in Tulsa has been closed and his website does not exist anymore, but he will live forever in millions of people's hearts whom he had touched through his interior design, his books, his philanthropy and through his humanity and love. His passing away in 2013, a year after my father's passing away was a big shock, I never had a heart to say anything on this blog until now.<br />
<br />
Mr. Faudree thank you for making our lives so much more better through your French Country interiors, you did it better than most French would have.<br />

I had the opportunity to attend a talk by Dr. Nyla Ali Khan, about her book, “The
Life of a Kashmiri Woman: Dialectic of Resistance and Accommodation”. This book
is about Dr. Khan’s maternal grandmother “Akbar Jahan”, nationalist and social and
political activist. She was the first president of Jammu & Kashmir
Red Cross, Member of Indian Parliament, first lady of the state of Jammu &
Kashmir, a daughter, a wife, a mother and a grandmother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Khan takes us through the extraordinary life of an extraordinary woman, who
left a life of privilege to marry a young Indian/Kashmiri politician Sheikh
Abdullah. Together they went on to a journey to get Kashmir and it’s people
their right of self determination in the wake of partition of India by the
British into two countries; India and Pakistan. Kashmir, which was until then
an independent princely state, got consumed into the bitter politics of the two
new states and got divided. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

born equal. Perhaps we need more Akbar Jahan in our world to make it a better
place for all of us humans present and future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

When you meet Elisabeth and Fred, they tell you we are just ordinary people, but they are anything but ordinary. Our friends from New Zealand have started an epic adventure i.e. going around the world on a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 220s aka Ponton.<br />
<br />
They started their five year long trip last summer in Los Angeles, California where their car that has been fully restored and prepared for this mission arrived in a container from New Zealand aboard a ship. They have seen more United States than most Americans will ever see. After visiting Canada this year they will comeback south and head towards South America, from there the car will be shipped to Europe for the rest of the adventure. They plan to arrive back home in the year 2019.<br />

We had the honor of being their hosts here in Oklahoma, and benefited from a presentation they gave about their adventure.

Elisabeth and Fred are in Florida these days and enjoying the nice balmy weather before heading up north.<br />

<i>The age of information in physical form is waning.
As intangible routes thrive with quicker fluidity, material and history are
being lost, slipping and eroding into the ether. Newer media swiftly flips
forms, unrestricted by the weight of material and the responsibility of
history. In the tangible world we are left with a frozen material but in the
intangible world we may be left with nothing. History is lost as formats change
from physical stability to digital distress.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;"><i>The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often
undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades
over time. The book’s intended function has decreased and the form remains
linear in a non-linear world. By altering physical forms of information and
shifting preconceived functions, new and unexpected roles emerge. This is the
area I currently operate in. Through meticulous excavation or concise
alteration I edit or dissect communicative objects or systems such as books,
maps, tapes and other media. The medium’s role transforms. Its content is
recontextualized and new meanings or interpretations emerge.</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

In the South, summer is in full bloom and so are my Asiatic Lilies. Last winter was so brutal, we had doubts lilies would even survive. A lot of plants did not make it through the winter but Asiatic Lilies have never bloomed better.<br />
<br />
It is not just lilies, Cicadas, June Bugs and at night Fireflies are in abundance too, (we were told a hard winter means less bugs). Guess no one knows the secrets of mother nature.<br />
<br />
It is 94 F (34.5 C) outside and I have to hand water a lot of plants, thanks to the watering restrictions by our town, can't turn on the sprinkler system today, but the plants are thirsty. If I can drink water when I am thirsty why can't they?<br />
