Not the one that I received from Joel, which was a lovely bouquet of flowers, but the one that I found for him. I was trying to tidy the house because my sister is coming for a visit today and I was moving the cushions around on the couch so that they would wear evenly. Low and behold, between the cushions on the couch, I found Joel's keys! Not the ( Read more... )

George has been catching the poor stunned hummingbirds that are getting themselves all worked up with the spring weather. Normally, he won't let go of the poor things and I just have to chase him outside with it and let him have it. Today, he brought another one in the house and I found if I get close enough to grab him by the scruff of the neck, ( Read more... )

The cats are already hunting the birds. What is it with our cats that they feel the need to bring their prey into the house.

When I drove to work today, I got a flat tire. I managed to get to a good place to stop and had my flashers on. My good friend Bill stopped behind me and I asked him for a ride in. I would have asked him to help me change it but he's had a really sore back lately. He insisted that he help me change it even though his back was sore. You couldn't ( Read more... )

Finally!! The mill manager/CEO has finally recognized that I am pregnant and asked me about it. He was very nice about it, took an interest in what I thought the sex is, told me about his daughters first pregnancy, told me to be careful around the chemicals. It seemed like genuine concern for my well being and the well being of my baby. It was a ( Read more... )

I got a call from Joel tonight. He is in Puerto Escondido. They had a great time sailing and it sounds like Joel has lots of cool stories from the boat trip. They celebrated making it into port with lots and lots of beer. Joel is truly representing north island forestry workers by drinking more than his fair share. He is ready to be home and I am ( Read more... )
