True Fishing Boat

Well I am happy to report that the "new" boat is truly a fishing boat. Over the last few days the guy that lives here has brought home some nice fish. Just wish he would find a better place to clean them besides my sink.

A visitor from Washington

Hello there. Let me introduce a new visitor. This is Cindy (Teri's sister). She was able to extend her business trip in Minnesota and spend some time with here family here. She was also nice enough to stop by and see "this old house".

There is a lot of excite brewing with new clothes and talk of a night on the town at a wine bar that also serves beer and has live music. Sounds like a great match for this group. Wish they would let me tag along.

I didn't realize how difficult and time consuming painting can be. The final product looks great though. Maybe she will come back and paint me. I don't have toes, but I do have a lot of walls that need some new color.
Ahhhhhhh, what I beautiful woman. How is the guy that lives here so lucky to get a woman like this to stop by? I think she is secretly just stopping to see me and using the guy that lives here as an excuse.
Here is a picture from the Wine Cafe. Sounds like it wasn't what they were hoping. That is alright with me though, I was happy they came back and chilled with me.

After the sister left on Sunday morning, the guy that lives here tried to squeeze in a quick fishing trip. Well I still haven't seen any fish and I think he got caught in the rain because he was soaked to the bone when he returned 1 hour later. When will he learn to listen to me and the neighbor.

Enjoying the night

Tonight seemed like a great night for the poor soul that lives here with me. When he got home he quickly relaxed by taking the "wet girl" (boat) on the water and I watched him chill out. When he was on the water he was looking so relaxed. Then when he returned there was a lot of cussing at a trim motor. Then the neighbor came over and the tools came out. In short, some elbow grease and WD40 fixed the problem. Needless to say no one was working on improving ME.
Now this is relaxing. A fishing pole in the foreground and the sun setting on the horizon. Though I am only a house and can't hold a fishing pole, the scene is still good enough to be a dream.
This is scene that I (the house) got left for right after he got home from work. What happened to "our time"?

Fishing with Jared

Here is the neighbor boy out fishing with the guy that lives here. Unfortunately I never saw him bring anything back with them.
Ahhhh, here is proof that they did catch something. I hope he doesn't want to eat that!

Spring Yard Work

Now this felt good. The guy that lives here finally got out and worked in the yard. Now I feel like spring is really here. Pictured here are the leaves he raked up and some of the new soil he brought in and seeded with grass. Home the grass goes and fills in the "dirt spot".
Look what was hiding under the leaves. The guy that lives here was surprised to see the flower seedling. I bet he has no idea as to what the flowers are.
Here is another new patch grass seed. I guess the guy didn't like the rocks I had there before. Now I just hope the grass grows quickly.
Here is the new view of the walkway to the barn in the back. I guess the "someone" was tired of the old evergreen tree that was at the end of the walkway (see below).

It floats

Here is a picture that the guy that lives here shared with me. He said it was proof that the "new" boat truly floats. From where I am sitting I could watch him running all over the lake with a large smile on his face. Funny thin though, I didn't see any fish in his hands. Guess he needs some practice.

The neighboring house got "flocked". Some local kids covered the yard with these lovely birds as a fun raiser. I kind of hope they pay the "fine" to have them removed because I think they add a little excitement to the yard.
Another new thing to the neighbor's yard is this big dumpster. The guy next door is getting a whole new kitchen, living room, and possibly more. I am excited to see what develops.

Here is the first NASCAR party. I was happy to see that these guys make themselves to home here. There was a couple other rug rats running around playing "basketball" on my second floor.

The man that lives here was extremely happy this weekend. He shared the weekend with this lovely woman who he calls his girlfriend. She looks happy here.


Here Teri is chilling and starting to get REALLY comfortable. I think she fell asleep shortly after the picture was taken.

Check out this meal!! Now this looks good. The guy that lives here might not have the best stuff in the world, but sure loves to eat well. It put a large smile on Teri's face tooooo.

Spring is here

Spring has sprung!!! Check out the flower bud that is ready to pop. The guy that lives here is really good at growing flowers. Can't wait until summer to see what he grows in the yard.

The First Posting

Ok, I now see how I am suppose to use this page. The old postings and pictures will now be placed in here and all new posts will be put into the "blogs". This is a minor change, but will allow the website to archive the blogs and make it easier to update.
