New kitchen cabinets, hey? You install them yourself?

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning LUV and (((HUGS))).

[Arrowhead1952]

No, I did not install the cabinets. We had pros do that. I used to work in construction, but we built custom cabinets in place. These were prefabs from LOWES and they have excellent installers.

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[E.G.C.]

Well, it's been rather busy.

First off, I took Bo to the vet. His nose wasn't looking too good. He's taking some pills now and recuperating. All that sniffing in the grass he seems to enjoy has really taken it's toll on him.

Apparently, Bo's not the only one. Allergies have been a problem with animals all across this part of the country. This unfortunately means I can't let my dog do whatever he wants. We're going to try out some non-grassy spots at Waurika Lake Tomorrow and Saturday.

Also, the tree behind Chuck's old garage fell yesterday. They've been working on it but it seems like this is not as easy of a job as they thought. They're back to continue this work.

We also had the washing machine sewer fixed. It was backing up and running on the kitchen floor.

Not much else is going on. It's a nice sunny day but cool here.

How do you catch a tame rabbit?

[MEG33]

Good Morning Everyone

Thank You To All Who Serve Our Country

Have A Great Day
(((HUGS)))

[tomkow6]

How Do You Catch a Tame Rabbit?
Tame Way.

[tomkow6]

That’s bad news for Bo; seems that a favorite hobby of ALL dogs is playing sniff-around.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy Thursday, beachy...((HUGS))...just got out of a BORING meeting.

[blackie]
