A long time ...

This is getting annoying.

The house has not closed yet. Not even close. The contractor has just gotten the ok to start the work that was approved weeks ago. After the work is complete, the lender will do the appraisal, and from then, it will be at least three weeks before it closes. So if I get in there before it snows, I'll be doing good.

In the meantime, my house is still packed. I keep trying to keep it clean, but it's impossible with the dogs and stuff.

I have taken tons of photos, and while I occasionally hit the library (like tonight), I can't post photos from here -- especially in the volume that I usually post photos in.

I added the Cakewrecks blog to my blog list. Check it out. It's hysterical. Don't read it when you're sitting in the library.

Went camping last weekend in Leslie Gulch. What a gorgeous place! The dogs had a great time and it was nice to relax for a bit and forget about life.

Haven't been working the dogs much. Maybe I'll make it over to Janie's one of these days and grab the trailer and head to the desert.

Echo's coat is looking like crap, to put it nicely. It's thin and dull, so I am messing around with a few different foods to see if that helps. We'll see.

Off to peruse a few books to see if I can come up with a name for the new place ... if I ever get it.
