Some recent pictures

Some recent pictures for Project 365.


This is all of what is left of our 18 foot cedar Christmas tree. I'm glad that we have tile floors, it makes cleaning up the needles a little bit easier. But, it still took all day to take all the decorations off, cut up the tree, and put it on the curb. Our garbage men didn't take it, so we had to cut it up some more, and we will be putting it out again this week.


It was cold and rainy, so we decided to bring in Ewok, (the dog), inside for a little while. We tied him up to one of our pillars in the front room, so he had limited range of motion. Oreo, (the cat), doesn't really care for Ewok very much, but we think that he liked that he could just stay out of Ewok's reach.



Saturday morning, Quin woke up to his bedroom flooded. Water had even leaked out into the rec room area of the basement. We dried it up as best as we could, then called somebody on Monday morning. They told us that the floater on our sewage pump had gone bad. The floater is the part that causes the pump to kick on when the water level rises, and pumps the water out to the street sewer. So, obviously, we couldn't keep the carpet, even if we had been able to get all the water out. We will proably put tile down, in case something ever were to happen again.



Two of Ivan's partners, Rick & Jay Mohler, came out for a few days to meet and discuss things. I took this picture from our balcony.

This is Nicole after her all city concert. She was fifth chair.


This is not a very good picture of me, but, I think it shows us having fun on a Sunday evening, playing spoons.
