Backer rewards.

Look how happy someone is that he supported the Veronica Mars movie at the sticker/shirt level!
 

 

More squirrel action

I put two more sunflower heads out for the squirrels.  It took them more than a week to discover them.  Which made the incredibly lazy naturalist in me to wonder if they have trouble finding food that is out of season, because they found the freshly harvested sunflower heads in about an hour.  But three weeks later, maybe their little squirrel noses are sniffing for something else?

At any rate, this fellow was happy to eat everything up.  And Antares did his best to melt that glass so he could eat the squirrel.  But he failed.

Order amongst the chaos

Thanks to an influx of new clips, we go from wibbly wobbly...
 

...to neat and tidy.
 

New for the cats

These cardboard things cost $10.00 a piece.  I found that to be a reasonable price.
 

They come with everything needed for assembly, namely binder clips.
 

Here they are, assembled.

Bingo!

My bingo party.  I took not a single picture.  Harumph.  Too busy hosting, I guess.

We had a baked potato bar with a bevy of toppings:  cheese sauce, cheddar cheese, bacon, ham, broccoli, sunflower seeds, cottage cheese, sour cream, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, green onions and chives.

Then we played 10 games of Bingo for fabulous prizes, all purchased at the dollar store.  Every other game people bought their boards for a quarter each.  Our last game was blackout and the winner (Deborah!) took home the pot of money.

There was also cake.  But I do have a picture of that.

Birthday Celebration.

Is it that my family is so exciting that Matt falls asleep partway through the party?  Or is it the lack of stimulation that causes the dropping off?
 

We had my favorite birthday dinner of chicken in a wine sauce with cheese.  And then we dove into this lovely birthday cake.
 

 

Installing.

Look!  Picture wire hung!
 

And with a maximum of mess and tools.
 

The cards are up!  But I'm not pleased with the wibble-wobble that's going on.  I need more clippy things.  It's back to Ikea I go.
