A snapshot of Thanksgiving.

By On 7 Dec ’03

I don’t know if David minds, but I thought this picture of him and Tait, our nephew, was just too cute to pass up. Tait was not too interested in the story. As soon as I managed to get the snapshot, he was off David’s lap and into his mom’s asking for her to read [...]

Testing adding pic

By On 5 Dec ’03

I’m trying to find a way to get pictures to show up:
. . . so, you should be looking at my test subject: a cat with a lime-peel-helmet on its head. It made us laugh so hard, I just had to put it on the blog as a test subject. See below [...]

In a word, slow

By On 2 Dec ’03

I drive on a particular road everyday. This road is wide enough to handle four lanes, or at least three lanes (center turn lane) but for now, it is a twisty, curving two lane road which connects two of the most popular “going to Austin” roads in the area. There are 2.5 neighborhood complex-areas (I’ve [...]

Chewing Cats

By On 1 Dec ’03

Per Mark’s suggestion, last night before bed, I sprayed the cat-reachable branches with my hairspray. We have not been around the cats and the tree enough to tell if they don’t like the taste, but since I’ve had some problems with the nozzle on my can of spray, I decided it was okay to [...]

A first for Samba

By On 30 Nov ’03

Well, the tree is up.
The cats may die, but it is officially up. I have chicken-wired the bottom level of branches (underneath, to prevent their upward progress) but I do not know if that is enough to keep them off of it. The 7.5 foot tree is in a location where, if it falls, [...]

Burgerlicious!

By On 29 Nov ’03

So, last night we headed out to Justin and Ashley’s house and met up with them and Nathan and Shannon and we all ended up going to Red Robin for dinner. You should take a peek at their website with the link back there. It’s made by Xylem, the same makers of [...]

I will be taking a break from posting for a little while to enjoy the holiday. Don’t worry, I’ll take notes and have a story or two for when I feel like getting back online.

For everyone reading this, please be safe this holiday and eats lots of food!

8 hours in one day

By On 24 Nov ’03

Yes, this past Saturday we drove eight hours in one day! We left Austin at 5:30 AM!! with me in the drivers seat and I drove us all the way down to Ray’s wedding. We arrived at 9:30, so we made good timing and Dave slept almost the entire way. With his mouth hanging agap. [...]

Thanks, Shannon!

By On 23 Nov ’03

My friend, Shannon mentioned in her blog a new craft project that she started which I had never heard of! So I did a little online hunting and came up with a brilliant site which teaches in a very step-by-step manner how to make one! Of course, with TONS of extra fabric [...]

A good time had by all

By On 21 Nov ’03

The dinner get-together was great fun with many a laugh! We had quite a crowd over here in this little apartment. There were 9 of us total, and Dave’s ribs were a hit. We are very very sleepy and need to get up very early to drive to Corpus Christi, so I will end tonight [...]

Nori Maki

By On 21 Nov ’03

Ah, my favorite snack in all the world, Nori Maki for lunch! Mmmm…..

Life here in my tiny apartment has been a whirlwind of cleaning and re-decorating (which usually means re-arranging the furniture, but not this time! I only re-arranged the curtains!) and getting the kitties ready for a long day alone. They will [...]
