MILO - SHUUUT UPPPP

OK - so I just woke up - so beer with me here.

What is up with the sports media. Did I miss it? Roger brings the Packers back from a 4th quarter deficit and I have not heard one person acknowledge it. Sure, last year he would bring the Packers back with 2 minutes to play and the defense would give up a TD and they would blame Rogers and his inability for a comeback. The talking heads on TV are morons!

I took portraits at The Columbus Family Dental and while my shots came out pretty darn good (I now have lights) I feel I should not post them here (but they are so good).. . . actually I'll put all of arty shots in my gallery on the site in the next week or so - rather proud. HOWEVER - I cannot resist posting this one.

Caydence is doing GREAT. From what I gather in my sleepy haze is that most tubes are out and she MIGHT be coming home this weekend. Yea - I can't see open heart recovery lasting more then a week! Her little fever is gone and she is rediscovering her little fingers. Check out the Caring for Caydence blog for just the cutest photo of Caydence.

And thank you for all the support from blog-dom. You guys are very special.

MILO - SHUT UP!!

Milo is one bored cat. He has been pretty good for the most part but lately as soon as the heat comes on in the morning he will lay ON the register if we're getting up. If we are sleeping (like today) he feels that the best thing to do is go into the bathroom where acoustics are the very best, AND SING!!! Unlike humans who sing in the shower Milo will sing at the hot air register and he so does love to sing and the bathroom is so very good for amplifying his voice.

Wonderful.

Even Blake will let out a moan when Milo starts singing (not meowing but singing in a cat voice). This morning he got up and crawled under the bed.

Anybody else getting excited for the Olympics? We love the winter Olys.

hmmmm what else . . .

Check out my website - The Time Machine is on display. I'll have to put some information in the information area but the watch, which the images came from, was made in 1911 by the Elgin National Watch Company. It's a Railroad watch and was one of the first mass produced watch's in the world and while it was not a high end watch it was also not a low end. Upper Middle and the Elgin Nat company was specialty commissioned to make watches after a train accident in 1891.

The accuracy of these watches made them highly desirable but it was their beauty and craftmanship that today can not be repeated.

The simple beauty of the black-on-white Arabic dial, the amazing ingenuity with which they were designed, the jewels and precious metals used in the production of high-quality movements, and a level of labor-intensive craftsmanship that could not be duplicated today at any price all contribute to the making of a truly great American collectible.

I'll have to put regular photos of the watch (it's a beauty even with out my heavy hand) on that page so it's a work in progress. Check back in a week for more.

Got lots of things to do today so have a great weekend and get all of those Christmas things done. remember if you are mailing stuff. Overnight means 2 days, 2 days shipping is a week, express mail is a week and a half and book rate is 4 weeks.

Cheers
