Christmas day

 

ChuckIt

 
Ben after a good session of Chuckit (his Christmas present)

My future slippers

 
I'm blown away that KB actually made these. I thought they were finished (if a little big) but there is all this custom sizing via fleecing that we still have to do yet.

right now, they are bobo the clown slippers

Christmas day 2008. yay!

 

Peppercorns

KB got me a variety of whole peppercorns for a stocking stuffer. She Rocks.

samplings next

Processor transmission

robert

Means "bright fame", derived from the Germanic elements hrod "fame" and beraht "bright". The Normans introduced this name to Britain, where it replaced the Old English cognate Hreodbeorht. It has been a very common English name since that time.

I'm winning.... yeah!

We've been having a 20-30 house Gingerbread house decorating party for 8 years now. Last year me and KB made several trains. Can we send in pictures? The small one came out very well and even had a coalman (coleman, we called him)

This Schlock story, complete with sugary Old Christmas Music, is twice as long as the average news item on All Things Considered. Bah, Humbug! Where are your priorites? Two women gushing over the "obscene amount of candy" (your phrase) just isn't relevant to me. Who sets this programming? Oprah? Martha Stewart? This is supposed to be, primarily, a news program... or, at least, so I thought, until now. All Things Considered, indeed. A very cleverly-chosen name.

our ice storm

 

Christmas lights Plan B

So either the position or the lights themselves are working well. 3 of the 4 up there barely lit up and only stayed on for about 20 minutes before going dim and then off. dang!

Maybe they just need to fully recharge, but it was a sunny day although that angle is weird and they really no direct sunlight.

might have to go to plan B (the boring ordinary lights)

Geli and Ben

 
This picture makes me happy. Summertime fun

look at those bone heads

Jazz in N'awlins

 

KB there for Trop Med meeting.

Christmas lights

 

a little scary climbing that 20 foot ladder, but there are only 2 more to drill. (and I have to get on the roof to access those.) Maybe I'll wait until KB gets home so that someone can call the Ambulance if I fall.

The gingerbread barracks

 
now THAT is production.

Go KB. we're done with houses (and the pagoda)

Omar Sharif

Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran

The great infinity

Lehem

Bread. Why do I have so much bread in the house? I have been mindlessly buying it, sliced orowheat, pita, rustic italian, baguette.

Hope that we can dry it out for breadcrumbs or something. There is no way I can eat all that bread.

Lehem.

Geli

 

Geli doing what she loved, wandering on her own in nature. This was taken at a rest stop in Nebraska on the trip home a week ago.

December 1st. Good bye Geli

Tonite we said our good byes to Geli. She's so beautiful and I will miss her dearly. She brought such joy into our lives and those that she touched.

Joe, it makes me happy to think that we not only got to go camping with her (lots), but we climbed a Fourteener with her. And she chased that elk down the mountain and came back.

KB, Geli will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for being there with me tonite. The other Fourteener with Geli was with you. Among many other adventures too numerous to recall. I love that dog.

Jupiter and Venus and that sliver of a moon in the SW sky tonite. They made a cock-eyed frowning face in the sky. Just how Geli would have liked it.

Thank you for spending most of your life with us, Geli. We will miss you.

My Sweet Girl

Geli went to the CSU Vet Hospital yesterday. Her breathing has gotten more labored. They took some xrays of her chest and abdomen. Her entire lung region is full of masses. No wonder she's working so hard to get air. They could not hear her heart beat and the stress of being in that room with out us made her breathing even worse.

We took her for a long slow walk around the lake last night. She seemed to like that. Same this morning. No leash, she just slowly walked with us (Ben of course, was tearing ahead)

The Vet pretty much concurred with CSU diagnosis; lung cancer. They thought that there was a small chance it was fungal infection. Either way being so advanced, the prognosis is very poor. Our vet even offered to come to the house for us, but we have already arranged with Dr Leach to come over tonite at 6:30.

Geli asked for a kong today and ate most of a hotdog too. Now she is sleeping and we're trying to just be with her for the next few hours.
