Ubu

Ubu has been acting quite strange lately. He has a towel in his kennel. This is also the place that he eats. When he is given his bowl of food, he rubs his nose in the towel. Almost looks like he wants to bury the bowl of food. Perhaps he dislikes the smell of the food. It really perplexes me. He eventually does eat the food. In the pic above, he is in his favorite spot of late, on the back of the love seat, yes, that is MONK that he was watching too.

I am just finishing this up. Just in time to work on Byron's. I really like how the peekos turned out on this one, with the stripes.

v-day

On Valenttine's Day, Dave did his research and picked a place to take me for dinner. He found this little restaurant not too far from us. I have noticed it before, passed it many times on my way to friends' homes. I noticed it because they have a metal moose sculpture. Y'all know me and moose. Well, I was surprised that Dave chose this place, because he hate bbq. Well, they had a v-day menu and we did not have the bbq. Well, the restaurant was perfect. . . for me, because there was moose everywhere! He lucked out, because he got mucho bonus points.
This pic is of Drew and his Peace cookie. His idear. Turned out way cute.

Feels like a new place

I lucked out and have a great friend who has a generous sister. The sister just moved and decided to redecorate. We were able to get a few items, that while filled our overflowing home to bursting, but now I suppose I have more storage. While you really can not see it, I was able to procure a desk for my dear hubby. You can see the back of the hutch that sits on the top of the desk through the hole in the wall there. You can see the buffet that I had said no to (because people tell me I need to say no to bringing stuff into my house), my hubby said yes. So I allowed it in. It is a real pretty piece, seen under the bar to my kitchen.




I received an entertainment center. The sister had larger tv, so the vent hole is larger, than we need, but hey, I don't mind.

The last two pieces we received were our favorites. A shelving unit that is 9' long and about 8' tall. We also received the sleeper sofa that folds out into a twin size bed. Have not yet tested it, but I am sure it is quite comfy.

You may notice the blocks on the shelf "e" "h" "m" "o", while some may think it was meant to spell "HOME", especially since we received it as a house warming gift. It spells out "Ow, Eh?" a tribute to the Canadian Olympics. I can just imagine Canadian officials watching a sporting event, someone crashing and the official saying "ow, eh?" There you go. My friend tried to set it up saying Home, but I refused.

Just so you know, I am getting a big wiff of stinky diaper, Yuck! Maybe it is just Ubu farts.

Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving. This year we spent it with my cousin John and Cythia's family. It took us a wee bit more time to get there than plan, not because the roads were bad from the snowstorm on Monday, but due to traffic congestion. They invited us to bring our dog, Ubu down. Ubu enjoyed his trip and making new friends with the kiddos. I think Jacob was the most taken with Ubu, or as he calls him, Wubu. Jacob and I spent a good part of the hour out into the converted garage playroom playing playing with Ubu.

"Hi, Wubu!"

This is the face I got when I asked for a smile. Got to love that face!

Gonna ride sister's bike. . . if only I can get on the seat.

Cranium massager.

Sit Ubu, Sit. Good DOG!

"Wubu, see my bellybutton?"

Jacob playing dog with the dog, and Ubu doing what dogs do best.

There's that "smile" again. Serious about his Harley.

This is how much she loves her Uncle Peter.

Check out the shirt!

Ready to jump off the bottom step. Serious buisness.
