Carpet, Tiles, and Billie

Today I enter the blogging world. I hope I can keep folks caught up on our comings and goings through this blog.

My list of things to do today is: select carpet for the house! The problem is I like it all but budget constraints will help to whittle the choices down to a manageable pool of possibilities.

Doug is busy laying tile in the entry way. He has the tiles all cut and ready to put down. He was supposed to finish this job last Saturday - but his thumb had a close encounter with the saw blade. So a couple of hours later and a couple of stitches later it was determined that the job was indefinitely on hold. He not only got expert medical care but they gave him a cool hitchhiking accessory. Today the stitches were removed and he is back in action with the tiles.

We are also dog sitting for Billie. She is mom's puppy and mom is in Idaho visiting Trudy. Billie is a cute dog and we are enjoying having her. She is very helpful. She follows me around and sits outside the bathroom door when I need to go. She also keeps all the birds out of our back yard. She also takes us on walks in the early morning and later in the evening. She keeps a good watch of our front yard from the couch in the living room. We are glad when she visits and more glad when she goes home. She is happier then too.
