7/29 - Z and I say Zzzzzzzzzzzz

We had lunch with Toody (aka Mildred) today.  She says, "Hola!"

Later, we got a few sundries at Big Lots.  Beware the tiki!  (Don't worry -- Z was OK. It was a supervised mauling.)

Martha stopped by to check out Grandmother's new digs and really liked the new place.  She helped us find the guest towels and made a big dent in the living room boxes.  AND she has the same name as our favorite talking dog.

Here's Z hanging out in the Lamp Ghetto.

Ironically, Grandmother hates this little DIY bar, but I tricked it out with her knick-knacks anyway.

I'm declaring victory on the living room.

Dining room is soooo close.  All that's left are the hall closet and Grandmother's room.  (I consider the garage out of scope.)  I will also take full credit for making her computer almost fast enough to be considered contemporary.  And now, at 2am Austin time, I'm going to keel over.  Goodnight, moon.

2/07 - Francine, Friends, and Football

We started Superbowl Sunday with brunch.  And Toody.

Francine was good enough to learn that Grandmother's stalker cat was named Judah.  Figures.

Aunt Patty posed with Francine.  Which was appropriate, since Francine was one of the toys she sent to us some time ago!

Aunt Patty is sending gummi bears to the twins (along with a bazillion other toys).

Francine and some of Grandmother's rooster collection.

Here's Francine with fried pickles and a Very Large Beer.

The Saints win!!!!!!  (Who'd have thought the actual game would be more interesting than the ads?!)




Goodnight, Grandmother!  We love you!!
