Thinking of Karen and building a couch!

We heard from Nate and know that Karen made it through the surgery ok, so we're really glad about that. And in preparation for the visiting hordes, we are assembling our new sectional couch! It came in 9 boxes and once assembled, looks really nice. Check it out. And Karen - we love you!!

Rare bird visits Colorado

The headline from today's paper was "Rare bird drops in. Streak-backed oriole likely taking a northern vacation." The article is a fun read, and I'm thinking of heading down to the person's house to this week to try and see the bird. It would be a new one for me, and although I usually like to find them myself, this is so close and so unusual, it is worth a short trip. A nice little Christmas gift!

Helper dog at work!

Too cute. Marianne is re-covering a comforter, and I guess it was just too comfortable for Te Beagh to pass up! Ahh, it is hard to find such good help.
