Laughable Snow

Yes, we had some snow but it's so light it does not amount to anything.

My plan for the day is to declutter as much as possible. In trying to pack a box a day I have been eliminating things I won't be needing for the move but there is so far to go. 64 days until my lease expires.

Favor for a Friend

Today I accompany Don for the removal of the cataract on his right eye. No lunch or dinner out. Just an excursion and some knitting while I wait. Rained on the afternoon dog walk. Snow is expected tonight.

Colonoscopy Today

All went well. In and out of the Clinic in 2 hours with a clean bill of health. Rescheduled for 5 years from now. Quite a relief to know that nothing out of the ordinary is happening within me.

Had planned on a feast of sorts but I'm not at all hungry. I settled for Tillamook Cheese on a hoagie and will have some roast veggies for my dinner.

Could be my Favorite Photo

from the trip to The Dalles. I titled it Prime Bridge View. This spot is adjacent to the bridge approach from I-84 and behind the Motel. I suspect it is land set aside for Tribal Fishing Rights as I saw several fishing platforms along the riverbank.

The Dalles Outing

Could that be the North Star?

I loaded up the camera and the dogs and went back to The Dallas for more pictures. I haven't processed the pictures but I'm not all that satisfied with my results.

On the way home I crossed from WA to OR for dinner at the Charburger in Cascade Locks. Got this picture of the Bridge of the Gods. Almost indefinable and abstract without the clues of a daytime shot.

Kitchen Cabinets

I went by Home Depot yesterday to check out their Kitchen supplies. They have a wide range of cabinet styles available and seem to be priced similar to what I am seeing at Costco. Drawback is the nearest location is Redding and shipping could be a problem. Costco is just 8 miles away and will pretty much do it all for me in terms of planning, ordering, receiving, delivering and installing. Costco also has the Counter Tops, leaving me with 'JUST' the sink and appliances to obtain elsewhere.

Unfortunately their 30% off sale ends before I can get inside to do the kitchen measurements. I'm also not sure how much they can do for me in terms of preparation for replacement of the cabinets that are there.

Sure are a lot of things to think about and the magazines just confuse the issue, enticing me with all sorts of ideas.

Surprisingly Unbruised

No ill effects for the fall I took yesterday while trying to control my vicious dogs as they attempted to protect the pack leader.

Awoke to the 'barking' of the phone. Alice needed a ride to school. Got me up early and I actually managed to empty the glass bookcase and pack a box of books. One box per day might even get me ready to move on time.

Exploring all the avenues for the kitchen remodel. I'm really liking some of the modern kitchens I see in the magazines.
