Up For Re-Adoption

Thu, 5 Jun 2008 18:37:06 -0600

With Andrea up in Redmond housesitting with Carly for a while and Aaron off to Basic Training we have got this insatiable thirst to see what an empty nest would be like. Sooooooo anyway we were thinkin . . . whatever . . .
Never mind.

Off to Basic Training - Fort Knox, KY

Wed, 4 Jun 2008 06:48:41 -0600

It’s just after 5:00 am and Sergeant Murphy comes by the house to pick up the U.S. Army’s newest recruit. He will get processed at the Military Center in Phoenix, just up the road from here, and will then be on his way to Fort Knox sometime around 8:00 this morning. He will call when he gets there and will update when we can.
In the meantime, this is an all out prayer alert for all Prayer Warriors! Drop to your knees and give me twenty. Twenty prayers, that is, for today. Of course, we will all pray without ceasing during the next 9 weeks of intensive training that Aaron will be enduring participating in.

The “Special K” Sisters Reunion

Sat, 31 May 2008 10:19:19 -0600

The long awaited reunion of the “Special K” Sisters finally took place in Redmond, WA. at their proud (well, at least I think she’s still proud . . . we’ll ask.) mothers home. They will begin their world concert tour where they actually began their ascent to stardom, singing at the now famous “Corner Cafe” in beautiful downtown Buffalo, North Dakota. Sends chills up and down the spine don’t it? Take that, Lennon Sisters!

Click the play button above to hear a little of the K Sisters past hit. It’ll take you back. Apologies to the Andrews Sisters.

Waiting . . . . .

Myah (left) has been staying with us for the last week as her mistress is on vacation. Boo, on the other hand, is always here. Here, the two of are patiently waiting for Paulette’s return by the front window as she is running some errands. Life indeed is a drag when Paulette isn’t around. You can see it clearly in these poor faces.

A Morning on South Mountain

Wed, 28 May 2008 17:38:56 -0600

Occasions such as this are extremely rare these days, we were all together! Decided to scale South Mountain which is about half a mile from our home in Phoenix. Beautiful morning. We figured we’d better go today as the next few days will be getting into the triple digits - joy! Overall a very nice trip with a little swim afterwards.
