Springing Back to Life

Our patio has gone through many iterations over the past 29 years.  When we first moved in, we were poor.  Our budget was tight so we had to be content with the grass and shadowbox fences with the neighbors.  We knew we always wanted a patio and saved up for it.  I want to say we paid $1200 for a paver patio.  We picked out the huge 18"x18" slate look pavers from Lowe's and got a patio set that was an ambitious size.  It was nice to have a space to relax outside and have a little flower bed where our pooch would happily walk up to smell the flowers.  After a year or two of constantly having people catch our eye as they walked their dogs or themselves, we said it was time for a fence with a gate.  I think it was around $700 back then.  Damn those prices make me nostalgic! Over the years, we had various outdoor area rugs, curtains on the fences to cover gaps, tropical hibiscus trees during our Hawaii years to remind us of our second home. ...

Furry (or Feathered) Friends Hump Day Poll


No doubt animals are part of the family.  Because we can't directly communicate, we may often wonder what the heck they're thinking or what that look they gave us meant.  That brings us to today's hump day poll.

If you could ask your pet (current or past) three questions, what would they be?

(Mine would've been 1) why would you let Mommy do the punchy thing with your paws but not Daddy?  2) What are your favorite things we do to show you how much we love you?  3)  Do you really swear as much as Mommy portrays when she "voices" you?)

    What are you thinking when you stare at me?
    Why do you bark at dogs on TV?

  3. I have 3 cats, does that mean I get 9 questions?

    Is cat language really 90% swearing like it sounds?
    Why do you cry for attention but stand just out of reach for me to pet you?
    How are you feeling/does anything hurt/do I need to get the vet to address health issues I don't know about?

  4. 1) Why don't you wait for me to even get out of the room before jumping on my chair?
    2) Why do I have to show my hands like a blackjack dealer after giving you a treat to prove there's nothing more?
    3) Are you really okay when you see us leave the house?
