Carpe Diem - Seize the Day

Oh boy... Bill said it all, I really asked for it!!! 

And, you get it!  That was the deal! 

I am only making one minor substitution, and sorry Julie, it was yours!  Our linen closet is also our medicine closet because we just have this huge wall mirror across our bathroom with no medicine cabinet behind it.

So, instead Julie, I substituted my clothes closet!

Not too bad, huh?  I hope you don't mind!  LOL

Next, I will make happy Bill, Tish, and Cin, who all wanted to see Libby, the yellow lab, and to quote Tish 'critters getting in trouble'.

Here is Libby; first being good, and then being dopey.

Next, here are two photos, the first of Pumpkin (almost 12 yrs old), looking disdainfully down from her food perch... at Libby, in the second photo!

And, already, for Sandy we have a piece of the 1970's disco kitchen for you, stay tuned for more!

Here is the laptop in the kitchen, where I often sit to blog and keep a central location to the kids, coffee and animals, for Marti, with a view of the kitchen for Sandi. (kitchen to be redone very soon)

But wait Marti, there's more!  Here is the desktop and our computer cabinet area!

Back to the 70's disco kitchen, yes, Mary, for the provider of LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, and my best friend, the coffee maker!!!

And, Cin, of course, I didn't forget the front of the refrigerator for you!  It almost looks surreal, what with the many multicolored magnets and papers...  Very Dali...

Some additional notes for you all...

Note bottom right of refrigerator pic, the chewed cabinet.  That is why we got the yellow lab first, and will be remodeling the kitchen now that she is done with chewing cabinet corners.

Also, in the coffee maker pic, on the shelf above the maker are 3 demitasse cups, all NYC souvenirs, bought in the lobby of the World Trade Center, on the day we celebrated my dad's 60th birthday there, having dinner at Windows on the World.

Okay... more in next entry... don't worry Dan, you won't be disappointed!

be well,
Dawn
