Sunday Dinner
We might be a little short of furnishings and decoration, but we’re not going to scrimp on our cuisine. This is today’s dinner – country style barbecued pork ribs (with Verna’s killer homemade BBQ sauce), asparagus spears, the all-important beans and coleslaw. I enjoyed a bottle of Samuel Adams Winter Lager and Verna sipped a glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. We ate this sumptuous dinner on the patio table and chairs which are temporarily serving as our dining room furniture. Click on the image to enlarge.
New Patio Set
During the past week, we went to Lowe’s and purchased some pieces for our patio. The chairs were already assembled but we had to assemble the table ourselves. After a lot of struggling with the primitive tools that came with the parts and some tools I bought last week, we finally got it together. Next time, I’m paying the assembly fee and save myself the blister I got.
Verna picked out some southwestern seat cushions for the chairs (pattern in the inset). Click on the image to enlarge.
Cabela’s Squeaky Toy
Hi – this is Cabela. I am at the new house with my hoomins and Bear. We don’t have a lot of furniture yet but I do have my squeaky toy and a lot of other toys. I just love to play with my toys and I especially like to play with the squeaky toy. I like to make it go squeak and I like to chew on it.
You can watch me squeaking my toy. The Daddy took this movie of me in the new house while I was playing.
Verna’s Panorama
On Tuesday, Verna climbed to the top of the little hill behind our house and took a couple of shots of the house and the surrounding area. I usually do the panoramas but I was talking to the construction crew that came to install the cable feed. Later, when I was looking at the pictures she took I thought that the pair from the hill would make a nice panoramic image so I stitched them together.

Green Saguaro, Blue Sky
We drove down the Surprise today to pick up some things for the new house at Wal Mart and Lowe’s. On our way back into town, I snapped this photo of a nice Saguaro Cactus against a very blue mid-afternoon sky. Click on the image to enlarge.
