Good grief! Obviously didn't ever make up her mind, huh?
I think your brother will like the present :~) Sounds like fun :~)
We just got back from town, went to the hardware store to get stuff. There's a storm with wind coming in tonight, hopefully not too bad, but if the power goes out again, we're ready :~)
Here's some pics :~) We have improved our emergency water supply.. raised it up a little to get enough gravity to more easily fill the horse buckets outside with the hose. We've also added another barrel that was extra at the beach house, for more potable water we can get at with a siphon. We need to have a lot of water, we used about half the barrel in this last outage, just keeping horses watered, toilet flushed, and drinking and washing water.
And some cute doggie pics... First, I think we found the perfect cover for Gidget's chair, don't you think? :~)
And tell me if this isn't the cutest most pathetic sight. Homer's been licking a bare spot on his back, right on his spine. We switched dog food recently, and have now switched back, thinking it might be a food allergy. It was getting better, but during the storm and aftermath, he went after it again, from stress. So I put this t-shirt on him, cut a hole for his tail so it stays put, cut the front out of it so he can pee, and he can't get to it now. I think it's really cute on him :~)
