I am back!

Well, it has been a non-productive month or so on our house. The vehicle we use to haul stuff (old El Camino) needed work, so that took our house money for a while. We also got robbed of all our tools at our work site, so that is a setback as we still have not replaced them. (Don't you hate a thief?) And the heat was wicked hot!

But things are looking up! Through a swap meet in Oklahoma City and putting out the word elsewhere, my partner is getting rid of some excess Harley parts and turning bike parts into a home for us. So we will be back on track. We also garbage picked a small section of usable fence for our house, and two great chairs with wrecked cane bottoms that need very little work and cost someone else a pretty penny. I do so like picking things from the garbage pile! The chair I am sitting on now was trash, as was the black bench the cat and purse are sitting on. And those were Chicago trash at that!

Here are a few pictures to bring us up to date. We went to an "Artwalk" event with lots of dressed-up dogs, and Starry and Tim got to ride a Segway. Now Starry wants one for Yuletide! We got to see a colony of bats that were very impressive and cute, along with being very stinky!

I made a purse out of some jeans that Starry was too big for, and now she wants the purse because they were her jeans. She wants a lot of things! The cat is my partner's horrible animal, a wild-domestic hybrid called a Bengal Cat. It is pretty, but bad-tempered and dumb as a rock. Some of them must be nice, though, or people would not be shelling out big bucks for these speckled menaces! More to come...
