OH Baby it’s cold INside

31 Comments

The temperature in the early AM has been in the low to mid 20s for a week and our furnace won’t light!  Thankfully, the repairman will arrive early tomorrow morning to fix it.

Can you believe that they just called and wanted us to wait until after Thanksgiving!!! 

Of course I said, “No way!”

Actually, I think we might have gotten it done the next day, but then they would have charged us for the service call AND the parts.  This way, because we are on a maintenance contract, I only have to pay for parts.   Yes, I am really that cheap frugal.

So how does a little dog stay warm when the house is 60 degrees inside?

He sleeps in his coat right in front of the radiant heater!

NOTEWORTHY:  The Mountain Farmlet is in Escrow and closes on the first of December.  It will be a melancholy event.  I will write more after the closing.

Waiting for someone?

Noodle-needs“No.”

Our little friend Noodle has very long and slender legs.  He is very close to the drafty floorboards too.  So when the weather drops below freezing you will usually find him in a lap or laying on a heat register.

Poor little Noodle dog.

An Easter Surprise!

26 Comments

Bob’s sister Kathee and her husband John have started a tradition of sending us See’s Chocolates, from California.  It is a much appreciated and anticipated event at Easter time!

This year we opened the box to find that it had apparently been too closely guarded by a fire-breathing dragon!  It was melted, bubbled, and then re-cooled into a congealed and unappetizing mass.  (Don’t worry Kathee and John!  I called and See’s replaced it with BRAND NEW and sent it OVERNIGHT to us!!!)

😀 😀 😀

So, I picked through the carnage of the first order and placed the least damaged on the dining room table.  Hey, we don’t waste minimally damaged See’s candy in this house!  It is simply too delicious!

Later that evening we were preparing for bed and I realized something was amiss…

BAD DOG TUCKER!  VERY BAD DOG!!!

Yes, he got sick!

Bloated, bad gas, and threw up.

SICK!  

Did he learn his lesson?

Unfortunately, NO.

😦

He has done it before and will likely do it again, but in my own defense, I honestly did not expect the little circus dog to get up onto the dining room table.  Next time?

TOP SHELF IN THE PANTRY!
