Milan is Calling....

Casey, the weiner dog, has always been a bit of a poser, but with his girth expansion over the past few years, we really thought his pinup days to be over.
Soooo, imagine our surprise when friend, Willi, asked for a 'side shot-full body' pic of the dastardly dachshund. Casey was, of course, happy to comply - as you can plainly see. Unlike other celebrities who worry about where their photos will turn up, Casey is merely grateful. Fading fame can be a cruel mistress.
Willi didn't mention why or where the photo was needed, but if we see him on the cover of the next Vanity Fair, well, some heavy negotiating will definitely be in order.

It's All How You Approach a Situation!

So, Louie the cat is by no means a timid creature. He's already lived the rural life, but this water deal is a little daunting. He creeps and sniffs as if the river is an entity that requires careful investigation. Friend or foe...he doesn't know. I wait for the day he comes eye to eye with a frog...and I hope to have my camera.

I'm Gonna Live in a Van Down by the River....

We're finding it increasingly hard to pry ourselves away from the new abode. Like kids seeing colour tv for the first time. Cats and dogs even seem calmer. Creatively, I may need a fire lit under my butt, but my soul is singing...really loudly!

LET THE BELLS RING OUT AND THE GEESE FLY...WE'RE HERE, WE'RE HERE!!!

Every morning is spent sipping coffee and staring at the glassy water...every evening we watch the sunset reflect off the Oak Hills. Magnificent!

Saying Goodbye

I'm told a fish pond will be going in at this spot, but today...possibly just for today...it remains a little grassy knoll of solace. Sometimes I think what I liked best about living in a schoolhouse was doing whatever I wanted without ever doing a stitch of schoolwork...and no ghosts to tell me any different. I'm sure the addition of a pond will be beautiful and the house will rise to new occasions with the new owner, but right now I'm doing my quiet goodbyes to an old friend who treated us very well.

Four Days to Dial Up!

Moving is stressful, exciting and filled with unknowns....except for one thing. I know that everything I do now will be done slower. Not because the pace of life is slower in Frankford than Prince Edward County, but because in the internet maze I've just endured, the only method I found was dial up. YIKES. Once ensconced, I may investigate the merits of a fifty foot pole strapped to the side of our new house, but for now, I'll try out primitive, and see where that takes me. Out of the world of photo uploading I'm guessing. Fire, water, INTERNET....PLEASE.

A Ship in a Bottle

This being the main living area of our new place, the challenges are daunting. Oh, there's a kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom shooting off this space, but the hub of the home is here. Now, how to fit in a nine foot couch, and four easy chairs plus big screen tv. And then...let the decorating begin!!!
