The players: Stereo cabinet. In the early 70's, when stereos were very popular, my father built one. He painstakingly patterned, cut pieces of wood, and veneered this beautiful cabinet with the speakers the right width apart for quality sound. When we moved mom, we took the cabinet for sentimental reasons.
Bobby: Some of you may recall that Bobby was abandoned, and living in the car port of the post office. He jumped in my car, and instantly became a permanent member of our family.
Fresh Step Kitty Litter: I asked Ken to pick some up as we were running out, and he obliged. Unfortunately, he picked up four 30 lb. bags, of regular, not scoop-able as with 4 cats I need.
So let me set the scene. I wake up this morning, to find that Bobby has decided he is no longer housebroke. Ah yes. Our 65 lb. border with a HUGE bladder peed and pooped all over the floor in front of the stereo. I clean the defecation, and yell to Ken for the rest. Mr. Know it All decides a piece of paper towel will clean up the Hoover Dam burst all over my floor. Your kidding right!? So out came the kitty litter. Spread all over the floor, sops up everything, move the cabinet, more kitty litter, sweep it up, scrub the floor down, and done! So Bobby, as mad as I am that you did this, the up side? I only have three bags of kitty litter to use. Thank God for blood pressure medication!
Remember the vintage doll bed I bought for $3? Well Mitzy has claimed it as her own. This is where she sleeps away the hours.

We danced,
We laughed,
We played,
We had so much fun.
But Tuesday morning, my little family heads back to Iowa. Always so exciting when they arrive, always sad when they leave. Safe journey home, please come back soon. I miss you already.
Chad loves to tease the kids, well harass more like it, and had fun terrorizing my grand daughter Kiley on the trampoline.
Then soon it was popsicle time, and Jenna was the picture of cuteness with hers!
My grand daughters Kiley and Tara busting a move!
The Electric Slide...
Gets everyone on the floor! And my little family didn't fail in the entertaining department! What a great time. Family and friends, together to celebrate life, and liberty.
My beautiful daughter in law, holding my great nephew Preston. Chad and Jennie are visiting from Iowa, I'm so excited to see them!!
Mom just got out of the hospital with heart problems, but is doing ok. I can't believe how frail she is looking now, I guess that's what happens when you're 84 .
Can you believe that beautiful shade trees have been uprooted for this!?
And this, which I would like to call "Viagra Malfunction"
And this? It looks like part of the space station plummeted to earth and empailed the sidewalk.
All I can say about this, is the orange looks pretty against the blue sky. And these are only a few. I'll be taking more pictures as I can, it's so hideous to me that these would be called culture, that we should "appreciate" it, and that it should bring people downtown to view the magnificent sculptures, thus bringing more business to its shops. Really!? Have they bumped their heads!? Maybe I'm behind the times, but I can truly say I appreciate art. And This just ain't it!
