Crazy Cat!

This is Pip's favorite new hang out- in the flower box on the front porch. Today I caught him napping there, so I took his picture. These cats pick the funniest places to sleep sometimes.
We found a new website called Chore Wars (chorewars.com). You can enter in all the chores for the house, and then claim one each time you complete it to earn points and "treasures". And you are "competing" against the other people in your group. It's good for family chores, or really anything that has to be done. We've been having a lot of fun with it....and getting a lot done in the meantime!
Yesterday in the mail, I got a postcard from Warm Up America thanking me for the knitted and crocheted squares I sent....in February. Strange, huh? Yeah, Mom and Aunt Sandy and I all knitted or crocheted squares for the "Knit-In" on DIY during the Superbowl and I sent them in the next week. We need to do that again...
Dave is building us some cabinets and shelves in some of those indents around our fireplace. They are coming along well so far- I'll have to post a picture when he finishes the first one. He is making the doors to match our coffee table that he made before. And we are working toward getting some paint on the walls!!!! The only problem is figuring out where to put it exactly because the living room has all kinds of outcroppings and indents and crazy shaped walls. I've got the colors all picked out though.
Well, I guess that's about all for now.

Harriman Family Reunion

Here are a few of the many pictures we took during the Harriman Family Reunion , which took place last weekend. We all had a great time visiting, eating, swimming, playing games, and just hanging out. We had a big barbecue lunch on Saturday and spent a lot of time in the pool. Saturday night, we all gathered at the Hayes home for pizza and games. A lot of the guys played video games and several girls played an exciting game of *Pink* Yahtzee. Sunday morning we all enjoyed breakfast at Highland Lake Inn, then went to church. Then we gathered at the Hayes home again for more food and fellowship. It was a great weekend!

2007- Half Full or Half Empty?

Well, the year is half over, and ours has certainly been full so far! Dave has taken quite a few trips so far- 2 in Massachussetts, 2 in China, one in Germany and one in Pennsylvania (I got to go for that one) for a grand total of 57 days! The rest of the time he's been working, weeding, fixing computers, and making a computer model of our house.

I've kept busy with painting, knitting, rearranging the furniture, visiting family, playing Yahtzee, helping out at Kolorful Kitchen now and then...and being a member of the Henderson County Grand Jury.

We had that frost, which stunted the growth of our lilies and our Japanese Maple tree. They both ended up coming back, but they look a little worse for wear. Here is a picture of Dave and Delilah looking at a turtle that lives on the side of our house. He wouldn't peek out of his shell for us.Ah yes, and we got a Wii. It's pretty cool. We like playing the games on it- it gets us up off the couch. It does other cool stuff too, like show you your weather, surf the net, communicate with other Wii's, etc. Plus you can get older Nintendo games on it...we have the original Super Mario Brothers now. That sure brings back some memories!

Oh yeah- I added a 3rd contest to the Contests for Fun blog. Check it out! The link is over on the side somewhere ----------------------------->
