Ahhh, our lovely home, and yes, the Obama sign is there – listen, folks, unless you want more of the same, you gotta vote Obama. If you care about the war in Iraq, about global warming (and yes, it’s really happening and yes, mankind, is to blame for the rapidity at which it is happening), health care, social security – well, then your bests interests are best represented in electing Obama. However, if you like things just the way they are – and/or worse – well, then McCain’s your man. I, for one, am ready for a change.

This country needs a change!

I mentioned it in my last post but wanted to restate it – our land line is going bye-bye on Monday, August 4. So, you will need to call either one of our cell phones to communicate. We have also become quite proficient at text messaging.

It’s Saturday. I’m sitting here playing on the computer while Miriam irons her clothes for work. Yes, she will go in tomorrow morning for a few hours. While she’s away, I will play. Not sure yet what I’ll do.

It’s been a nice weekend so far. It was overcast and a little rainy today – but it was great for working in the yard – so we mowed and edged and trimmed – now it looks real nice. We like to have curb appeal.

I need to get out and take some pictures and post them here.

Oh yes, we have killed our land line – yes, we’re stepping out on the edge and going to cell phone only. We’ll see how they hold up if we have a hurricane this year.

Just for fun, I thought I’d post a picture of Peanut at the beach.

Ciao.

Since I hadn’t posted one before, I decided to post a picture of our fence.

For those of you in the know, our new fence is up – tomorrow they come to finish up and work on a short punch list we have put together.

It is such a relief to know that we can let the dogs out and not worry that they have to contend with the little terrors next door or that Peanut is going to climb the fence. We spent the entire weekend cleaning things up and putting down some new mulch. We hope to have a “fence party” sometime soon to celebrate the fortress!

I want to get more into this blogging thing – but, man, it’s sometimes hard to find something interesting to talk about. So, I need to take a page out of Carrie Bradshaw’s work – find a theme and write about it. So, I will think about a theme and when I come up with one I will write about it.

That’s all for now. Bye.

I started feeling guilty having left Sydney out. Here she is – she used to be our problem child -but with a good shrink and pills she’s come a long way.

Boxer is the love of my life – except for Mir, of course. He’s my sweetie, my prince, and my boy. Just wanted to share him with you.

Our friend has loaned us the dvd set of Sex and the City and our plan is to watch every episode prior to opening night of the movie. We’re going to have Cosmopolitans before heading to the film. Should be lots of fun.
