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 🙂
