Memorial Day View of the Mountains

 

Yup, snow up in dem dere mountains!!  This was as I was driving back from the cattery.

This is how Manley spent part of his day.  I guess it’s cooler under the couch for that big nose of his!

Hey Jacque, recognize this pattern?????  Yup, my pj’s.  I found them when I moved so thought I’d send you a picture in case you missed them!! 

Jacque always thought these pj’s were too bright.  I think they’re summery!!!

I hope every one had a good Memorial Day weekend.  It was blue skies and warm weather here in Durango.  Lots of happenings downtown and the carnival was in town.   

Saturday after work Manley and I went out to Catherine’s and I had fajitas, guac, chocolate pie and mint ice cream.  I had wine and did basically nothing except eat and talk.  And, the food was delicious and so was the company!!   Manley had a good time and was pooped by the time we got home.  He had to deal with 3 German Shepherds and then all of the petting!!! 

Sunday I slept in and then even took a nap.  I guess I had an exhausting week!!  Watched Nascar  and read a book, “9th Judgement” by James Patterson. 

This morning I cleaned the cattery, did my laundry, did my nails, and watched a couple of movies. One was with Cuba Gooding “The Way of War”.  It was kind of slow moving but man is he is shape!!Biceps galore! 

For supper I made pork chop, asparagus, and put that with avocado, mushrooms, and cilantro on my big salad. 

Now I will see what’s on tv or read. 

Fox Hole

 

I know the picture is blurry, but what do you expect when you are going 55 mph? 

So, this picture is of a fox hole and one little fox is sitting on the edge of it.  It’s the brown sand in the bottom third of the picture.  Remember, click on the picture to enlarge if you want. 

There were 3 different holes and I have seen as many as 3 fox at 2 of them.  And this is right along Hwy 172, when I go out to the cattery. 

Things are going well.  I am still working Tuesday through Saturday, so I only get a 2 day weekend.  Hope all of your plans go smoothly and the weather is perfect!! 

WOW!!!!

What a difference a day makes!!

Manley

He likes that little corner with Ralphie, the GR statue.  Go figure!!! 

So, I have just a few more boxes to go through, mostly paper files…..  The boxes in the dining room are empty and going back to Deb.  Have to find a small kitchen/dining table to halfways match my two oak chairs. 

My storage area is 2/3 full and this winter I am going to put up some heavy plastic to keep the snow out.  I have the boxes in the back and the plastic totes in front. 

I have one more trip to the old place to get my bike, albums and lawn chairs.  My tires are at Catherine and Mikes for the summer, then they will be sold. 

Now Manley can actually chase a ball in the house!!  He was all excited this morning when we were playing.  ROOOOOMMMMMM to RUUUNNNN!!

Just relaxing and reading this afternoon.  Maybe sitting and going through a box, but nothing major.  I am tired of looking at boxes!!! 

I Hate Bath/Grooming Day

 

Yup, Manley does not like baths or grooming.  Poor thing.  At least he got to be on the couch for a while.  (When he was dry)

I think I worked harder yesterday and today, my days off, than a day at work.  I was at Walmart buying totes by 8:30 am, changed my address, stopped to see Mike at the EconoLodge, stopped at the library and then back home to finish up laundry and got the bedroom in order.  Just a couple small boxes with bills and such to be gone through and put somewhere.  This afternoon I went and bathed Manley, then came home and groomed him outside up on his table.  Then I went out and fed the cats, came home and changed my bed and made supper.  Now it is time to sit with my feet up and watch House and 24 and Castle.  

I worked on the living room and dining room yesterday.

Still lots of boxes in the other part of the dining room, but some of it goes into my storage area and some in the garbage.  That will wait until this next weekend when I get the dolly/hand cart back.  Or when I have some energy back!! 

That’s all for now! 

Getting There!!

 

Kitchen. What instantly strikes me in this picture is the rug, the apron and the plastic bag bag.  :)

Living room.  No pictures hung yet. 

Slowly getting there guys! 

Mother’s Day

 

Here’s the scenery across the river and up the bank from my new place.

Up the river and there are snow covered mountains in the background.

This big rock is at the base of the steps.

Looking over the edge of the big rock.  The current is very fast right now.  Hence the brown color. 

Looking down the river. 

So, today I made 2 trips to get more of my stuff out of the old place.  I have 1 more trip left to get the crate, grooming table, xpens, desk chair and my bike. 

I put clothes and bedding away, got the bathroom done and rearranged my bakers racks so I could put my microwave on top of one.  Lots more boxes to go through and decide if I want to keep, store or throw.  Tomorrow I really want to bathe Manley and get my kitchen in order too. 

Manley met the downstairs dog. Can’t think of his name right now, but he is part boxer.  Manley is getting pretty low key when meeting new dogs nowadays.  Course, he is much more interested in their owners, as the owners know how to pet him.  :) 

I hope every one of you mother’s had a great day today.  Kisa and Manley were well-behaved, which is all my mom ever wanted on her special day from all of us girls!! 

Til next time!  

Moving is NOT FUN!!

 

So, this is my dining room, with the kitchen off to the right.  The boxes are empty, but need for the next trip.

My bedroom.  Still haven’t hung pictures. 

I have the closet and kitchen cupboards left to move, plus the grooming table and crate and vacuum cleaner to bring over here yet.  And some boxes to go through and find homes for the stuff inside.  Or not!! 

Job is going great.  We had a meeting today and I was introduced as one of the new hires. 

I come home for lunch now that I live only 1/2 mile away.  Manley loves it. 

Still doing the cattery. 

Will blog more after this weekend when I hopefully will have the new place unpacked and pictures up.

Love all of you!
