Beautiful Weather

So everyone tells me that this is the time of year for their bad weather. Aside from a few rainy days it's been like this. This is from my front porch yesterday. It's pretty rough.

In the last post I mentioned that our neighbor, Steve, was a super nice guy. Well Jeff, in fact, is also a super nice guy. Steve may not exist. There's just no way we can know.

It took Mandi all of a week to reach the limit of her patience in sitting on the floor.
AND SO!!!!!!We are the proud owners of a new table and chairs. Guess how much cussing was involved in the assembly process. Luckily we made it through and our one piece of furniture is...
...covered with kitties and crap. But as you can see they are adjusting well and starting to relax. It helps, I think, that they have so many windows to look out of. Artemis started doing a strange thing where she'll sit in the corner staring at a wall, or so it seemed. After awhile though we finally figured out what she was doing.



















That's a heating vent up in the ceiling that sends a column of warm air down to the floor. She found the super warm places to doze.

I was talking to my neighbor yesterday and he told me one of the local ski areas does two for one lift tickets on Fridays so tomorrow I think he and I are going to go hit the mountain. It's called Willamette Pass Resort and it's the smaller of the three closest places. I'm pretty excited about that.

We found out a couple days ago that our moving truck isn't going to be able to get here until the end of the month after all. Luckily, one of Mandi's co-workers loaned us an inflatable mattress so at least we don't have to sleep on the floor anymore. Our new bed should be getting here sometime next week. I'm looking forward to that because my neck is killing me.

So that's my story for today. Until next time...
