Clingy Kitty

Alice has been particularly clingy today, barely letting me out of her sight, and determined to climb on me when it looked as though I was attempting to do something else. Like work. Or breathe.



I guess Alice knows today has been a tough day for my sweetie (who I'm sure will update in due course), and in Barbara's absence due to the two jobs, has decided that I will have to accept all the love and support she has. It's a tough job, but I'll manage.

Right Place, Right Time

As I stepped outside to take some pictures of the house this morning (we're still in the middle of all the construction, so I feel it is somewhat justified, even if just as a progress account), I was greeted by Mr. Squirrel at the bottom of the driveway. I just happened to have the camera around my neck, and managed to snap a few pics of him and his ginormous nut. Way to go, Mr. Squirrel. May you and your family feast for days!

If you look real quick...

...You too might see a crowd-surfing baby.



Oh, and there's Michelle Obama. Huh.

Artsy Schmartsy

So I recently downloaded Picasa, to manage our multitude of pictures, and I've fallen in love. Very soon, there may be tiny little Gazel-asa babies running around. The pitter patter of tiny pixels is in our future.

I've been playing around with it and just wanted to share my first undertaking. This is my Mother-in-Law sitting on the beach in Buxton, North Carolina.

For some reason, I'm just feeling really artsy lately, so get used to me posting stuff like this. Or, y'know, not. We all know I get distracted really eas...oooh, shiny.

Haminals

I'm slowly sorting through pictures from our vacation, but came across these two that I'd like to share.

Hatteras Lighthouse: A View from the Top

Last night, Barbara, Mom, and I had tickets to climb Hatteras Lighthouse, at night, under a full moon. It was truly a dream come true for Mom, and I managed to get some great pictures from the top. This one is probably my favorite:



Overall, it's good to be home, and with the Kitten, but I sure will miss doing sweet nothing but the ocean with my days.

This is what the Ligie looks like when her life is not inundated with coffee and criminals:



Nice and relaxed, eh? Though, when faced with a view like this, it's easy to see why:
