Fire?!?

Here I am outside our new apartment. It is 11:51 pm on Sunday night.
All of a sudden, the fire alarm started going off! We are outside
waiting to see what is going on. The firefighters are here, and
nothing seems to be on fire...very odd! Anne was really freaked out -
she thought we were in California and the big one has just hit!
Hopefully everything is OK...

Carrot bunny

Hi all - getting ready to leave Merrillan. Took a quick picture with
my new friend, Carrot bunny. Also have a neat lily of the valley that
Anne picked for me. Smells so good!

Smoker Craft?

Bet you are wondering what a "smoker craft" is!?! It is the brand of
Alan's new boat! Don't I look good in it? Maybe I'll go out on the
water with everyone someday. It is a beautiful day here, doesn't get
much better! Not too hot, not too cold, nice breeze...neat clouds and
sunlight. Having a good time...

Stone's throw

Went to a supper club with Anne's mom and dad tonight. It is called
the Stone's Throw and it is in Hatfield. Anne used to work here a LONG
time ago went it was called the 4-in-1. Here I am in the bar with all
kinds of cool lights. The picture turned out kinda neat.

For Sale

Just down the road from the property we came upon a tractor for sale.
We will probably buy a tractor one of these days...I think I'd like to
ride on a tractor.

Project Cam

At the property! We are taking the cards out of the project cams to
see how they turned out. Both solar batteries were 100%, but the
camera facing east was facing down. Not sure how that happened because
Joe had it screwed tight! Hopefully it happened recently.

If you look closely, you will see a moth and his old cocoon. Neat to
think a moth grew up on our project cam! Just started to sprinkle
outside. So nice out here!

Duckies!

Here we are just east of Minneapolis on our drive to Wisconsin. We saw
two families of duckies, so we sneaked up on them and took a few
pictures. They got a pretty cool place to call home...

Mississippi river

Hi all - just hanging out at our new apartment. Here is the view from
our window. The picture doesn't capture just how cool it is here. What
a nice day!

Eagle

Just went for a nice walk across the river and tried a pizza place,
Punch. They have a very hot stone oven that cooks the pizzas in just a
few minutes. It was pretty good. While walking back to the apartment,
we saw an eagle - not that kind of eagle, an AMC eagle! It is in
awesome condition! Joe used to have one, and Anne's dad used to sell
them. Maybe Anne's dad sold it back in the day! Cool.

Downtown!

On the cab ride to our cool apartment in downtown Minneapolis. You can
see the tall buildings of downtown behind me - Joe is in one of those
buildings at work right now. Neat to know we will see him soon!

Grand Canyon

We are flying to go see Joe in Minneapolis today. I'm glad I can go,
too! The doggies had to stay in California, but they are going to have
fun with Paul and Angie...

We are sitting in the back of the plane, so we have a nice view out
the window. Neat view of the morning sun on the grand canyon. Neat!

Lake Arrowhead - Waffle Place!

Came up to Lake Arrowhead to go to the Belgium Waffle Works with some
friends from work - Panda, Joe, and Jasmin. We even have Pongo, Astro,
and Orion with us! It rained hard the while way and now it is super
foggy on the lake. Still a cool journey!

Roadtrip

Here we are on a cloudy Monday morning outside of jamba juice in
Moreno Valley. Just got done grabbing a healthy breakfast and off to
start our day. It is a little bit different of a day for Joe as he is
on the way to Minneapolis. A road trip without me, can you believe it?
I know I'll be there soon enough, but I really miss him already.

Scary snake!

Got back from Pasadena and took the doggies out. While the doggies
were trotting around, Orion walked right by this baby rattlesnake! He
must have come within two feet of it and didn't even notice! It was
laying in the grass about 20' from the building's staircase! Joe came
down and captured it and then took it way down the canyon and let it
go. Hopefully he won't be back!

Bunny Adopt-a-thon

It is a hazy day in southern California. Summer is here. A good time
to be moving to Minneapolis! Joe had his last day of work for Target
in California yesterday...lots going on. We just stopped at IKEA to
get a replacement cabinet door for our condo because we are selling it
now. Since we are already in Covina, we decided to continue on to
Pasadena. Today, there was a bunny adopt-a-thon at a bunny refuge. It
was a pretty small set-up with 8 bunnies available for adoption. The
people were very nice. One of the bunnies was very shy and beautiful.
Here is a picture of me with him. He is white, like me and Astro and
Orion. He had very neat pink eyes. Unfortunately, with everything
going on we cannot help out by adopting him, so we left a donation. I
hope someone adopts him...

Goodbye A3!

Here I am in Santa Ana at a credit union with a lady named Kory that
is purchasing our A3. We had a lot if fun in that rig. I remember
driving it to mammoth ion the middle of the night with Anne's brother.
