Mark, Ray, Creative, Tiny Living and Xiaozai Tiankang

 For those who know me and my family,
understand that this is my 
BROTHER!

And those that don't know 
my family.....
Meet Mark!
My younger brother.
I shared this pic of my
older brother in July.
This is Ray.
Ray is 2.5 yrs older
than me and Mark is 2.5
yrs younger than me. 
We are all three totally
different, however, we all
three carry the creative gene.

Ray is good at wood working, 
but his biggest ascent is his
ability to manage business.
Before retiring he owned a business
where he went into other 
businesses and revamped them, 
helped them get back on their 
feet. This man could touch a pile
of 
and turn it to money.
FYI~ he started a company in the early
2000s for my nephew to race under.
 Montgomery Motorsports, and that
is just one of his companies.

Mark, not that brain ever stops
learning. He is like a sponge and 
everything he sees and reads just
is soaked up into that mind.
Amazing wood worker.
In the past I have shared somethings
he has made.

I shared some time ago
this cradle and highchair
that he made while my
daughter was little.
Mom would find these
projects and he would make 
them. Amber was the only
grandchild of moms and only
niece of Mark's for a few years.


These two items are well over
40 yrs old and they are still in
my home. 
 
He also built these cabinets
that were in my childhood home.
He built these right out 
of high school.


He is a lot like me,
he thinks outside the box.
Like with these two things
he made me.


Anyway, those are my brothers.
Sometimes I rather not claim 
them and I hope that people
that know me and them, 
don't hold it against me!

Moving on, 

I saw this on FB.
I am not a tiny home sort
of person, I collect and hold
on to way too much.
But if I was to do one, and 
could handle the stairs, 
I would go for something
like this.
But then again, with a couch
like this, I would not need
to go upstairs to the bed!

WOW!
Have you ever heard
of this HOLE
in China?


The deepest and largest natural
 well on earth is
 called Xiaozai Tiankang. It is
 located in Penji,
 in the heart of China. This 
amazing well is 
completely natural and reaches
 a depth of 662
 meters, a length of 626 meters
 and a width of 537 
meters. But what stands out 
the most is
 the explosion of life it inhabits.

Xiaozhai Tiankang is what
 geologists are confused 
about due to the influence 
of water. In this case, it 
was created on top of a 
cave with an underground 
river of 8.5 kilometers in size
 and flowing into a 
spectacular waterfall. Its 
enormous size
 makes it the deepest sinkhole
 in the world.
It houses close to 1,300 species 
of plants and wild
 animals. Among the most fascinating "tenants" 
that roam their underground forest, 
the misty panther stands out
Locals have known him since 
ancient times.

I looked it up and this is how 
it looks inside the hold~


WOW....again!

Hoping you are having 
a great day,
Pam

Amazing hole. Your brother is very skilled.

On my blog you asked about why a class had a sub on the second day of school. I'm in a long term position as that teacher is out on maternity leave. (She had her child about a month ago.) I'm their teacher for a little over a month.
