survival and feathers

well, we made it (barely) thru the vegas trip. let's just say the town isn't a good choice for really conservative old people. the DH's face is LOTS better but his ribs still hurt. the scrape on his right cheekbone was so deep that his crow's feet are gone on that side now. i told him if he wanted cosmetic surgery that bad, there were easier ways of going about getting some... feeling better, though. it's easy to get down with some people around. ugh.

the dogs got bored in the house while we were gone, and somehow managed to get the kid's 2005 Macy's Parade shako plume and completely murdered it. it looks like a henhouse exploded in his room. haven't cleaned it up yet; we keep just going in to admire the total devastation.

the camp went really well this weekend. it seemed like all the people who know what they're looking/listening to were pleasantly surprised with who and what they had. the kids all seemed to have a great time and all the vets were so happy to see each other. i hope 2007 will be a turning point year; man, is it time.

i think all 50,000,000,000 leaves fell in our yard from all those trees while we were gone. it's like a black hole of manual labor out there. great to have so much good organic stuff for the plants, though.

first, to de-feather, then, to de-leaf.
