We had some storms roll through yesterday and darph_bobo noticed a rainbow after they had passed. I said it was here for Zoe; it's come to show her the way. A little after 11:30 am today, Zoe left for the Rainbow Bridge.

darph_bobo and I took a very sad call this evening. Our dog, Zoe, has been sick for the past month. She had been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and had been on antibiotics for 3 weeks.

Ahh! It's festival time in my neck of the woods. Fireman's carnivals, county fairs, church bazaars, all abound this time of year and most manage to not coincide either. My trip Saturday took me to the Kutztown Festival, also known as the PA German festival. I took my Mom, sister and her boyfriend along and a good time was had by all. (Well, except ( Read more... )

Ya'll remember way back when I mentioned something about before and after pictures of the bedroom remodel? I bet you thought I forgot, huh? :P No, I didn't forget, it's just taken us this long to get to the point of being ready to move the old stuff out. I won't post all of the pics (because there are a lot) but these should give you an idea of ( Read more... )

Well, I rode home in the rain again yesterday. Bleh. But I'm getting better. Most of the trip was spent chasing the blue sky I could see from under the rain ( Read more... )
