I am not dead, just feel like it at the moment.

I posted on someone's blog just now.  That brought me to the realization that It has been a long time since I posted here.  I will be so glad when the other house renovation is done.  It has taken three times longer than we planned.  Talk about optimistic thinking.  Right now I have a terrible cold, and can't get excited about even working on the house.  That will have to happen when I am myself again and the younger Brown's and their Basset Hounds have moved out.  It will be nice not to worry about things being chewed up again.  Did I mention that one of them captured and ate a koi out of my pond? How could a Basset Hound do that?
