Wildlife

Long story short… Charlie was home this morning due to a flat tire needing repair.  About 9am this morning I get this e-mail from him..

 

“And strider is crouched down in the front window looking out.. and I’m all like, what the heck are you looking at kitty!

And being the kitty that he is, he says “this is what I was looking at daddy!” (see picture)”

 

And I’ve attached the picture, but I’m posting this by e-mail, so I’m not sure how it will come out.  Will fix after work.  You can see the reflection of strider sitting in the window looking at the deer J

The elusive “snow” has not made its appearance yet.  We are disappointed in the weather station for giving us false hope, as it doesn’t look like there is much chance of it in the near future. L  We will be keeping our eyes to the windows though to verify.

I was promised snowflakes!  Where are they?!?!?

Kitchen Part 2

Apparently Picassa limits you to 4 pictues... bah!


Anyhow, the final results of the work!










Let's see how long it stays this neat :-P

Kitchen!!!

One of the few pictures I actually took before. This was actually to show off the curtains, but it was white, with a lot of repair spots on the walls.




Work in Progress. The first coat is up, and the stove is actually moved!


First coat on the other wall.


The temporary Kitchen, in the corner of the dining room :-P

What Altima?

Here it is! All shiney, and new!
Well... it wont' stay that way for long!

It's a 2007 Toyota RAV4 - with only 7000 miles on it :-D I think that was the biggest seller for me :-) Of course, more room, higher up, and the roofracks are nice too :-)

I must say, it's a bit bigger than I'm used to driving! I'm getting used to it, but it's kinda a weird feeling to be sitting up this high :-)

Good Deeds

If you do a good deed, and then an event happens, which results in negating that good deed – does it count?

 

I was in the grocery store last night, it was about 10:15 (yes, I was grocery shopping at 10:15 PM), had just gotten into the 1 open line, when 2 guys came up behind me with a 6-pack and a bottle of wine.  Since I had a full cart of groceries, I was nice, and asked if they would like to go before me, since they had 2 items.  They graciously accepted, and we went back to waiting for the 2 other people to make it through the line.  At this time, another lady had pushed her cart up behind mine.  The supervisor on duty at that time made the call to open another line.  The new cashier looked at me and said “Ma’am, I can take you here”  So I went over to that line.  Now, I am much farther ahead than the two guys I let go in front of me, but not because I was trying to be rude.

 

Oh well – at the same point, the two guys got done paying about the same time as I did….

 

And if anyone would like to go and hide under the covers until the world straightens itself out – I’d be more than happy for the company.  There have been way too many deaths and illnesses in the past week.
