Just another grueling day of retirement . . .

Pan From The Hill
One of our neighbors who lives up the hill to the west of us asked us to keep an eye on her property while she is away in Montana. We took a walk up the road this morning to check her place out and while in the pool area, I snapped several images to merge into this composite panoramic image. You can see our little red house just to the right of center in the image. Just look at those beautiful mountains in the distance. Click on the image to enlarge.
Pie Are Square
Remember the old joke about “π R Square? Where Andy Griffith (or some other southern comedian) says “Pie are square? Hell, cornbread are square – pie are round!” Well, today we proved that pie are square!
The Spa is Here!!
Verna took these before and after images of the third bay in the patio. I cropped the two images into a before and after the new spa arrived today. After unwrapping and moving the spa into position, we filled it, put the chemicals in and started enjoying it just about an hour and a half after it showed up. Click on the image to enlarge.
New Decor for the Office
Now that the furniture is (mostly) in place, Verna and I have been gradually acquiring native American, southwestern and old west knick-knacks and art for decorating the rooms with themes appropriate to our historic old western town. Today, we had some time to kill before collecting the dogs from the groomer so we stopped into one of the local gift and souvenir shops. We have been in this shop before where I was fascinated with most of the hand-made dioramas of old western towns. I decided to get one of them for the office.
I hung it over the desk this afternoon. Click on the thumbnail above to see the full-sized panorama. Note some of the funny signs and other humorous stuff.
More Home Improvement
We have been putting off getting a shower door for the little bathroom. Our contractor was going to install a shower curtain, but we told him we wanted something else. Verna wants to get a European-style splash guard rather than a full sliding door. We contacted a shower door company and they should be out sometime tomorrow to measure and show samples. This is the before picture of the little bathroom. Click to enlarge.
