Our beloved companion, Nike, was diagnosed with bone cancer and on Friday, July 19, 2008 we had to make the difficult decision; allowing Nike peace with no more pain and suffering. Michael called to make the arrangements and we spent several hours with him, allowing him to have all of his favorite treats like hamburger, ice cream and watermelon. The veterinarian came to the house as we were not comfortable taking Nike to the clinic where he would be stressed. (This was the second hardest thing I have had to do in my life; but I would not have done it any other way.) To all of you who knew Nike we share our sad news.

Moving In

Permits Please

You guessed it; we still do not have one. I do have a few pictures that I took when we first moved in; which seems like months ago. I will not belong the details of all the items on the punch list that is keeping us from obtaining an occupancy permit as it is rather boring. We are on a daily alert for when a city car cruses the area; we are to turn off our monitors and act as though we a "unpacking" boxes. I will update you with the changes hopefully in a few day.
