Shop Girl

Who knew I'd ever change not one, but all four tires on my own car? Henrik set me on a stool and handed me something called a "breaker bar" and before I knew it, all four tires were rotated and ready for a road trip to Charleston! The perks of a boyfriend with mechanic experience are endless!

Happy Birthday Sheba!

She thoroughly enjoyed her breakfast at dawn, followed by a new toy, and then snuggle time in the bed. Maverick was a happy camper, too, right beside his best friend, running, hunting, and snoozing in Henrik's yard all day. Sheba thinks everyday is her birthday, since she's such a spoiled girl. How could you not spoil a sweetie like her? Eight years young today! A little more grey, but still as much spunk as ever ;)

All fancied up

Considering I've only seen Henrik wear shoes and pants just a few times... It was really lovely to accompany him all fancied up at Raf & Desha's wedding this weekend. Good times :)

Monster herbs

Week 3- basil is going crazy. Plants on right are not as perky as the lefties. Perhaps the right light bulb is losing intensity?



Week 4- I trimmed the basil and had a scrumtrulesent sandwich with Gouda, basil, and avocado. What in the world is a vegetarian going to do with all that thyme?

Masterpiece Mixers

Andrea's bday and going away party was a BYOB painting lesson, in a studio complete with artist to instruct us step by step. Pop the champagne cork, don a smock, and let the painting begin!




Exercise good judgement- we learned it was easy to confuse your brush rinse cup with your drink glass, haha!




Next, we painted the skyline and ground. Then a lesson on safari trees. Lots of sips in between!




Then add an elephant! Others painted birds, giraffe, and even a cat!




Snap on a frame and voila, it's done! The motto at the studio is it's fun art, not fine art :)

Ten Tortoise Years

Otis and Maverick share a birthday- April Fool's Day :)



This year the prank was on me- I thought they were both born on April 1, 2003, but I have been cheating Otisimoto out of a year... he hatched in 2002!
