"But, What If Tomorrow Never Comes? It Didn't Today!"

Whoa, sure glad we're not doing any traveling during the holidays this year.  Winter storm Boreas looks like it will be dumping 12-18 inches.  I am thankful that I am on vacation until Monday!

As you can see, we started with a good base already...  Also, it's our one year anniversary of owning our house.

Since she's from Kentucky, she doesn't really care for this cold weather.

So much misery.  And, the end of Scout's weather report

Don't know where Scout is?  First place to look is at all the heating registers.  

Second place to look is under all the blankets.

The dog is wearing pajamas and a line has been crossed.  Next thing you know we'll be saving up so you can go to college.  What an embarrassment...

The deer having been around much lately.  Here's one that was wondering across our yard.

Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving.  As I said earlier, I'm off until Monday and will be just bumming around the house and doing chores with the dog.  Eat some food and watch some football.  A much needed break!

Sadly, Just a Normal Day...

Pic stolen from Karen Stolt, who Emmy Lou and I are staring down at work.


Emmy Lou hanging out in a mail basket


Margie is getting really good at bribes.  Shamrock shake will get you far in this office...


I like these wall decals


Looks like me on the weekend.

That's all for now.  

Mike Kraus' Animal Adventures!

Here's one of the pit bull pups from a cruelty case.  When they first came in you could fit a few of couple of them in your hand.  Now look at them!  It's funny that they like to snuggle like babies until they reach about 70 lbs.



Here they are again at our meeting.  It's hard to focus on the creation of a new website for the organization when there are puppies.



I like the orange kitten's ear flopping out.



Okay...  I'm sorry...  No more taking pictures of fuzzy kitten ball...



The wildest animal of them all.  Rachel and I playing pirates where I was Capt'n Blonde Beard and she was "just a regular girl pirate."  



Oh Dock.  It's been a long road.  You were found near death on a dry dock starving and ill.  You came in my office in July with an upper respiratory infection.  You've destroyed so many office supplies and documents.  Been on more medication than I can remember.  Had a scope put up your nose to see what is going on with you and NOW YOU ARE FINALLY ABLE TO BE ADOPTED!!!



Just one of the deer in my backyard.  There were four other deer that hid behind a bush when I walked up on them.  


That's all from here.  Awaiting the results of the Tigers/Yankees series tomorrow night.  Going to the Bills/Eagles game this weekend.  Things at Lollypop Farm have been really, really good lately.  So, yeah all around!
