End of October

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

I finally got to painting the hole in the hallway that I patched the week I moved in, over 5 years ago. And some picture molding went up along with more paint. Ingrid got some new hats and walked them up Mt. Tabor with her ma.

Garden Potatos

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

I saw we had actual potatos in the yard after throwing a few spuds in the ground instead of the compost. I tried out making Spanish Tortilla with them. The potatos resisted being dug up, but in the end the oil, the knife and I won out and a Tortilla was made.

Home in October

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Rocky decided to roll around in composted animal scat so we washed him twice. I was mean and washed him outside in the cold and rubbed the shampoo in with ice. Ingrid did the second clean with warm water – no wonder he yaps at me. After losing a tug-of-war match with Tabitha I went outside and scared myself with a new dado blade while making a new bookshelf.

Denver

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Ingrid and I flew over to Denver to see Wes and Phyl. They plied us with martinis and 18oz steaks after making us brush their cats. Strange folks. We got up to the Bucksnort Tavern which is a great ride if you are on a motorcycle, a little scary if you’re being driven by Wes. We got to check out his new Triumph and pour some motor oil on his back yard as it’s too nice.
