Goodbye to April......

Now on to May............

It looks like sweet little Topaz is back to her old self--destroying her favorite scratching tower......
In fact, she's ready to POUNCE.............

We're starting a kitchen re-decorating project........
First all the cabinet s and drawers have to be washed with a special degreasing solution....
Then sanded before painting......
A new crisp look for the kitchen!
Including handmade curtains....

Oh yes, by the way, Dwight helped too!--he took all the doors down, changed all the hardware and put them back up.
The big "reveal" for the design critics.....
Some were kinder than others......
It was a media frenzy!
Hallelujah! This job is done!

Play Ball! (Click on image to enlarge photo)

Somebody decided to throw himself a "Surprise" Birthday Party......
Dwight is anxious to go......
Diana is anxious to go.....
I guess you know why!
The man of the hour......

He's in a great mood......
So is Waymon....
And a good time was had by all!
Including Angie & Walter.....
Enough said!

Happy 30th Birthday to Rachel!! Hope your day is a fun and adventurous one!

Hooray for Topaz! After six weeks of recuperation after being hit by a car, the Vet has cleared her for outside again--she was extremely anxious to do so....
She was fondly greeted by little Tallulah........
And Solange.......
And MeiToy too....
Hail to thee, Brave Kitty! You really are one tough and courageous little creature!

It's a beautiful day in Spring!! And a beautiful day at the Chavez garden.........

A delight for the proud gardeners......
A sweet little angel welcomes spring.....
It's perfect weather for a morning of Garage Sailing.....
Even Big Al is enthusiastic!
Goodbye garden--off to the sales.................

The lovely Miss Marguerite--still an beguiling ingenue after all these years.....
And a discerning Danny at the sales.....
Inspired by the goodwill of his upcoming birthday, an embolded Artie goes in for a smooch from his sweetie.....
Mission accomplished!!! Hail to thee O Cool One on your birthday!!
Enjoy these lovely spring day--they are so precious....................
