And the Winner is........

Gale!!! The pot goes home. She received her urn (vase, whatever you call it) tonight after dinner. Rich called to see if we could bring it in after dinner, she asked where we were going and if they could come. Sure. Bejing. So Gale, Justin and Paul came down. They were late, and we were getting concerned. When they came in, the reason they were late? Justin's car got backed into. In front of the house. Paul was worried about his car, so moved it in front of the window. He could watch if someone hit him he says. Learned about Jen and Paul's roommate. Quite a situation. And Gale? I like your new look. Different, but nice. Here's to the winner of the contest and her glasseslessness. (How do you like that word?) Congrats.

Campaign 2010 has begun

It's official. Rich started his campaigning today. He is going door to door speaking to any resident that is eligible to vote. The King is in the House!!!
Hopefully, this goes off without much of a hitch. It's time to clean house (sewer board) and Rich is pushing the dirt out the door. He has stirred up so much brew-ha-ha (?) that the clerks hide when we show up at the courthouse. Not really. Journalistic license. But things are starting to get interesting. Stay tuned to this channel, news at eleven.

No Phone-It's gone.

Richard is not one to worry about cell phones, etc. When I looked for his phone because it was telling us it was needing to be charged, I found it in his coat pocket. The phone tells me it has a text message. I open it, and here is this message from T-Mobile that the owner of this phone has until 4-15 to add minutes to the contract, or lose them. I asked Rich if he saw the message. "Hell no. What message?" So I explain to him what was there, and he hits the roof. "I paid for those minutes, they cannot take them away, they are mine.!!!" So this morning, he calls T-Mobile and tells them off after several minutes, then hangs up on them. He started the morning with a headache, so I asked him if he felt better? He grins up at me and say "Yes." So as of today, I guess he no longer has a cell phone number or minutes. He is immensely glad. He hates phones anyway, and the cell phone was just for emergency. No more emergencies for him.
We have a couple of appts. in Boise today, so catch you later.

Little Man Eulogy

Thank you all for the sentiments. It is a mixed curse and blessing for us. Little Man was just a dog, but he had a heart of gold, and lifted leg. We sure do miss him. His loss is felt deeply, especially after losing Oscar. We have all girls now, and they feel the absence also.

Today was a day of moving on. I asked Richard to remove the protective plastic from around the door and washer/dryer, then I cleaned up the last remnants of Little Man's folly. In the end, he could do no more than wet on his front legs and the floor. I washed all the dog beds and blankets, put them outside to air out and dry, and mopped the floor of the utility room with disinfectant and 409. Clean slate.

Time to fix dinner, I had to let this set for awhile as I had to collect my thoughts after starting.

Have a good evening all.
Later,,, Cathy

Sad News

Yesterday afternoon, we had to take Little Man into the vet for the last time. It was so heart wrenching as he was always the lover of the group. No ulterior motive for attention. Hurts a lot.

OMG!! Stop the presses!!!

The world is stopping, it's snowing in Hell, and Richard has figured out how to Skype!! Thank you Carla and Gale. Now he's speaking to Phillip about getting on line. Never thought I would see the day, but it has arrived. Now we have to convince my dad and mom, Lisa, and the girls to get a camera and we can all have fun making sure we are dressed and combed just in case the computer rings. No skin shows here. We'd scare off the world. Spoke with Carla for about 30 minutes and had a great time. Gonna go now and see who else we can see to talk to. LOL
