Finding Balance

Excuse me, has anyone seen my testicles? I woke up and they were gone…

Yes, The Big Day has come and gone… and truthfully the white devil seems none the worse for wear and doesn’t seem to care that there’s a tiny bit less of him than there was. We’re relieved to have that over with, and we get our deposit back from the shelter… now we just have to wait for the teething to finish.

A bit more organized

We found a couple of bookshelves at a local junk store on Friday, and did some rearranging yesterday…

Dining room

The dining area way less cluttered this way – and the antique chest/washstand Joy’s grandfather made sure looks better not hiding in that corner behind the table. As soon as we find the right fabric, we’re reupholstering and painting that little chair that’s at the table. We got that at a local junk store as well, for all of $5.00.

Living room long wall

The chest in it’s new location; our three prints that have moved with us so many times finally found the right place to occupy, as well.

We’ve also changed things around a bit on the fireplace:

Fireplace

Below is a close up of the picture over the fireplace, which really doesn’t do it justice as you can’t see all the birds and animals in the photo:

We still have a few more pictures to hang, but things are finally settling in.

Happy 4th of July

Fireworks all over the neighborhood are lots of fun. Unless you live with a dog with storm anxiety. Then, not so much. Sorry Cricket.

El diablo blanco

A trip to the park to burn off some energy… as is probably evident from this picture, he has an excess of it. Mostly he’s been good at amusing himself but we’ve had some bratty days. We’ll be glad once the teething has stopped and the testicles are gone.
