Material gifts I received and am grateful for: A good knife. It is actually a big cleaver and cuts through things like they're butter. Some good cookies Washington's Secret Six a book about some unrecognized spies who helped win the revolutionary war. It is supposed to restore your faith in the goodness of people. A shawl made out of bamboo fibers An 8x10 photo my son took of my dog A card from my brother Going to The Hunger Games with my husband and daughter on Christmas day and later going to the Chinese buffet The whole day was good. No tension. Hugs. Nice.

Jim, in Canada, we get WAYYY overcharged for things here. The price that was on this palm and the Spindle was $100 each. But, we got them for $50 each. Topher, I assume that you mean the washie that we moved in May 2006 to the middle of the yard. Well, last year it put on something like 5 large fronds and hit about 7 foot tall. BUT, I had a little accident this fall, whiich was totally my fault for forgetting to do something. That something was, no, those somethings were: 1) mount the blow dryer (heater) properly, don't just leave it hanging 2) install a 15 amp service onto the 35 amp that was feeding that area. So, what happened was that because I didn't mount the dryer properly (forgot) it moved to the plastic and its air intake got blocked. It burned up. BUT, because I had also forgotten to install a 15amp fusebox. So the dryer not only burned up, but the wires melted and continued to burn/glow whatever. So like what I guess is about 1 or 2 weeks later when I noticed black on the plastic, I figured it was black fungus. It's when I finally opened things up to check on their condition, that I saw what had happened. Of course, the black was the smoke and of course, it covered the entire inside and all the palms. On this Washy, all of its outter fronds where singged so I had to cut them off. Also, due to this little mishap, the palms inside expereinced -12C (10F). But this washie and the other large one, on their first year, also experienced -8C (18F), which I think only cold hardened them. So the -12C seems to have had a good effect on the palms in that structure, because the washy has already opened up a fresh new large frond. I was shocked (sorry, no pun intended). LOL The other palms, in pots inside the structure, are also putting on new growth. So, you'll understand if I hold off on posting that picture for a bit! ROFL! ;) Of course, I will post a pic when we remove the protection, which I hope might be in 2-3 weeks IF THIS FREAKY WEATHER settles down! Geeze! -8C (18F) this morning... last year at this time, we has like 10C (50F). :)

yes, lily, he's a wirehaired dachshund. and boris was the brown miniature one. alfie slept in bed, with us, all night, mostly on his back, with his legs up in the air. he didn't want to come down the stairs, by himself, but jim took the leash up and put him on it, then he walked down the stairs, with jim, like nobody's business. he's just wonderful. for as young as he is, he acts like a wise little old man, sometimes. lol ;) i wish more people would adopt, from shelters, there are so many amazing dogs just waiting to find a forever home.

the lump on bentley's leg is growing. i am noticing that he is panting more so i think his lungs are beginning to become compromised. this is such a nasty disease. it just breaks my heart to see him decline. i don't know how much longer i will let this go on. he is still eating fine but his activity level is way, way down. he spends most of the time sleeping. *sigh* i have some decisions to make soon. :( on a happier note, destiny is settling in nicely. she's a very good girl, very obedient and extremely lovable. i often have her big head under my arm, wanting pets. :) here she is, taking it all in. doing some exploring. got up at 4:30 a.m. to let her outside to potty. sitting here having my first cup of coffee and thinking i really need to teach her the dog door. next thing i know, i hear the dog door flap and look up to see a black & white butt going outside. now, to teach her the "coming in" part! LOL time to start work on the underground fence training! she's good about staying near the house but i don't know what she would do if she took off after one of the hundreds of rabbits out in the field.

She is beautiful. She has similar markings to my little kitten, Peggy Sue, except Peggy has short hair. How wonderful that you rescued Fiona from a shelter. I have four shelter animals.

Thank you for adopting a shelter animal. You and Fiona are both blessed.

She is very pretty. I must admit I am partial to Calicos. She reminds me of my Mom's cat.

She's a beauty! And lucky to have found you. I love the name too.

Fiona reminds me of Cookie who I'd decided was going to be our second cat (we brought home Max instead, nobody wanted him). Cookie was renamed Patches by the family who adopted her :-)

Give Fiona a nosekiss for me!

She is so pretty, seeing her brought tears to my eyes, she could be a twin to one I lost years ago during my move to Houston.

Here are a few better ones. I was hard to get her to sit still the first few days, long enough to get some good photos. She was too busy checking out her new digs!
She is a VERY lovable cat. Makes DH and I wonder what took us so long to get a new cat! Neither of us realized till we got her how much we've missed having a cat.

Someone asked about the color of her eyes. Sometimes they look green and other times they look copper. Guess it depends on the light.

Beautiful, I love calicos. I have one too, only her hair is short. She has a red "L" on her face. I should have named her LaVerne. My kids named her Whisper and it stuck.
