Emi’s learning all the fun things to do from Sausage (and all the naughty things as well…)

That’s one strange chicken!!!

Let’s start with a lovely shot of lovely little Emi!

< Emi-ru

She’s a delight this one, hopping around the house rabbit-style chirruping all the way. Yossie loves her as much as we do, and the endless cat games continue even as I type!

I’m a bit late in this next update but…we got a new fridge! Actually it was a birthday gift for me and KLS, and we’ve had it a few weeks now, but I wanted to make sure it was ‘ready’ before blogging it.

To refresh your memories, here is the old fridge that came with the house (estimated to be 40 years old):

< Eh?

The thing on the right was quite a surprise when we uncovered it 🙂

And here’s the new one, a Kenmore model from Sears:

The freezer is at the bottom, and opens out as a big drawer. This is both more convenient and more energy efficient. This new fridge has a greater volume than the old one, and is snazzier to boot. But in the state you see above something was… missing…

Ah, of course!

< Ta-da!

Much better!

And since this entry is a list of my significant birthday gifts, in reverse order of importance (Emi says “happy birthday dad!”), here’s one last one:

< Pretzels!

Trust me when I say the made-at-home versions are 95% as good as the ones you buy at the mall. So if you like these things, it’s utterly worth the $10 or so for the kit 🙂

We moved the wildlife camera so it could spy on our back patio. Can you guess what we saw on the photos?

No prizes for correct guess 🙂

The guy in the rightmost shot almost looks like he knows about the camera doesn’t he?

We’re moving it somewhere new now, in search of a very elusive prey. I’ll check it in a few weeks to see if we are successful…

The best thing about buying 8 Shamwow’s is if you cut them in half you have 16… and if you cut them in half again you have 32… and if you cut them in half again you have 64…
