I have just been through a mini-nightmare - at the end of what was otherwise a great day. Just before midnight, two harddrives suddenly went out on me, causing me all kinds of problems. Finally, I got the harddrives running again and all the problems apparently solved, but it is 2:17 AM and here I am, just starting on my blog.
So the pictures are going to look a little dull, because I do not want to take the time to run them through Photoshop and since I shoot them RAW, they always come out of the camera a little flat and in need of sharpening.
Anyway, when I showed you Charlie and Royce, I told you that others came that day as well. It was Kalib and his parents.
Kalib had barely walked into the house when he resumed his golf game.
I used to call him Tiger Kalib when he did this, but I don't call him that anymore.
;)
And then he helped his grandma bake a brand-new batch of Christmas cookies.
He cut out a kitty cookie.
;)
Then passed the cut-out to his grandma. I photographed Kalib doing other things, too, like playing squishy-ball with Melanie and hanging out with my fish after he and I fed them, but I am going to spread those out over the next couple of nights, just so Kalib can be represented here during his absence.
;)
Lavina and Jacob had been sleeping on an air mattress in their new home. Charlie helped Jacob carry their real mattress out to their Tahoe.
;)
And then they put it on top.
;)
Kalib looks into the traveling kennel and sees Martigne. Yep - it's not bad enough that Jacob and Lavina take Kalib with them, they take Martigne, too!
;)
And Muzzy - they even took Muzzy!
;)
They drive out of the driveway.
;)
They only go about 50 feet, then turn around and drive back in. Obviously, they have forgotten something.
;)
It was Martigne's litter box.
;)
And Jacob forgot his football.
;)
They drive away again.
;)
And then they are gone for real.
I see that I switched around liberally between past and present tense. Oh well. You get the idea.
Now, I owe two big "thank yous" - one to Melanie and Charlie, who did something absolutely amazing for me today, and totally unexpected. The other is for "Funny Face" in Texas, who I have never met, but who reads this blog and who also did something quite amazing - and it too, was a total and complete surprise.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I will explain tomorrow - with pictures.
Oh, oh... one of the hard drives is out again - I think I have a major problem here.
