Desktop Background 4

Petey was just so cute that there was no time to add any sort phrase before this became the background. Too bad I cut off his little halo that's hovering over his head, right? Awwwwww

Petey thinks of treats. This is a really huge picture of the dog when it's up on the background. It's larger than the real Petey's head.

Now it's week two with computer sharing and it looks kind of the same as last week.... Actual quote: "I thought you were going to change the background! Oh... I'm going to kill you."

Fact 1: My dad likes to make up words sometimes (don't we all?) For instance, in stead of saying "shrimp" he sometimes calls them "strimps" but it sounds like "striiimps!"
Fact 2: He also likes to repeat certain phrases and words.
Fact 3: Fact 2 drives my mother CRAZY!

So as soon as he sees the underlined word above, I predict he will say it, repeatedly for about a week. I love you mom!

Lately, we have combined computers and are sharing my computer tower with the rest of the junk that attached to the family computer (including the rather large flat screen monitor). Since this is now a shared computer, SOMEONE didn't like the desktop background that I already had so I made a new one! We will be sharing this computer setup for about 4 weeks so I joked that I would change the background every week... and so here is week one.

As you can see, it's Petey yet again, but if you look closely you can see that he is thinking something...

Highly Successful Tomato Harvest

I intended to grow a 'salsa garden' this summer, with tomatoes, peppers, onions and a few herbs that, together, would produce salsa... but I planted the tomatoes and peppers too late, the onions got washed away and I left my herbs unwatered for one day too long and they were gonners. This tomato is from a store bought plant and one of about 6 tomatoes that I eventually picked.

Lamp Post on 522 North II

In Virgina... near a Cracker Barrel

Nice View

The apartment overlooks this little swampy field.

It's Still Autum

Even if it's not in New England.

Filled Up Car

Well, you can't really tell, but my car was STUFFED with my boxes of essentials. We are headed to a furnished apartment for about a month until our new place is ready for us. Petey got his own seat for the 4.5 hour drive to New Jersey.

Here's a Tissue

At this point, the contents of the house are already in the moving van and gone. We decided to take some pictures in front of the house to cry over when we leave. (I used the 2 second timer, which is why I have the slightly crazed look on my face. I think)
