Mixing the Old with the New

So I moved the Cloned Kirschlings from one wall to another because three years ago Ron found a picture he liked and just had to have it. ( Lucky he is a very patient man)  I didn't know he even liked abstract but the following is now posted above the fireplace.

But now he says the one I did of his original (Dad still lives here) homestead is his new favorite. This was the surprise part of his homecoming.  I did two others for the group.  Surprise. Surprise.

So how strange is it to look at those structures which you pass by every day?.  Very!  We've always done it.  The German daughters bedrooms here are Biloxi art.  There are Wisconsin Barns in Minnesota. and I am writing this in the Duluth Room which you all would call the computer room. I won't get anymore boring

It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's a Meteor!!!

So Last night I called 911...Honest I did: About a plane which I thought went down in the woods of Wisconsin.  It was after ten and the operator said I was the only one who called.  Today I was a little spooked cuz I was thinking perhaps it was a drug drop in the woods of Wisconsin and I locked all the doors just wondering when the "kingpins" would be a knocking.  Then Brian Williams reports about this meteor which probably landed in central Wisconsin last night.  So I unlocked all my doors cuz we all know martians can walk thru doors.  I am so silly....Unless I find the meteorite remains cuz then Michael says I can hang up my business cards...which; by the way...I have yet to order.  I am going four-wheeling in the morn! This light was at tree top level and I can only see 1000 yards out these wooded woods windows.  I hope it's a big one without martians too. (Sure glad it didn't hit the house!)

I connected with Meg today in Germany who reported Grrr and Mustard are in Spain.  Then I saw the volcanic cloud over Europe...The flights are all grounded and I decided to wait on my travel plans till the Icelandic volcano stops spurting ashes.  Good place to be grounded with your husband in Spain I guess.

Then I connected with Ron too.  He isn't thrilled about a couple of new doors I am planning.  I hired a carpenter to design a new staircase, tore up the carpet and found enuf slate to next hire a floor installer. And the art I had custom made should be out of the shop soon. Spoiled? YES!

Did I mention I was the only person in the continental US last week to pay Toyota for services on a hybrid with a bumper to bumper policy.  I was heading for Wausau  (as in Wisconsin) when the service lights came on and guess what?:  I have mice,.. no dog hair and these aren't covered.  The loaners all disappeared and I got Enterprise to pick me up.  $660.00 later (rental not included and a whole week) I am never buying another Toyota in Plover... there are Toyota dealers in Wausau and Madison.  I will be putting the book of coupons for free oil changes at Mark Toyota on eBay too...Give-away. I have five Toyotas too.  Maybe I don't need to be buying anything for a while. Recount: I only have four. I mean WE too.  "We have four."

And my garage is wired and d-Con 'd' for mice. I found a dead mouse too.  This pretty much means the sonic blasters aren't working or else this mouse was deaf.  Hope sonic blasters work on martians better....I am sooooo silly!.
