I love doing windows now

Another fun thing I did last weekend was wash windows. I first went out and bought this tool. Just hose the windows, soap 'em up with the Swiffer-like "mop", rinse and you have completely streak free windows! This is the greatest invention of the 21st century! I did all 17 windows on my house in under a half hour.

Judy got stuck doing the inside of the windows. That's a real pain. But I'll gladly do the outsides anytime she asks me to now.

I should drink beforehand

Well, last Sunday I took Kris out driving. First time he's ever driven anything bigger than a golf cart. I stayed calm, didn't yell at him to STOP! or anything like that. He's still got a ways to go but he did better than I expected.
First we practiced a little in a large parking lot so he could get the feel of the truck and the gas and brakes. Then we headed out to the country for a leisurely drive. Mostly straight roads just so he could get some pratice.

Man, that beer never tasted so good after we got home!

Butters the Huntress!



As I've mentioned before, Butters is my cat. She's declawed but is allowed outside from time to time. Lately, she's been getting a little braver and venturing out in the yard farther. Normally she just lays on the deck.




Well, yesterday, she brought us all a suprise gift. It was a vole that she caught out in the yard. She walked up to the screen door with it in her mouth wanting to come in. I shooed her off so she just layed in the grass and tossed the poor thing around for awhile. Finally I took it from her since I didn't want her to try and eat it and get sick.
