First let me say, Jess and Paul got married yesterday. Way sorry we couldn’t make the wedding, really wanted to be there. Wish you much happiness. Mike and I have both started new jobs and its been pretty busy around here trying to adjust to the new schedule. I’m still at LSU, just working under a new proffessor. He’s really cool and I like being part of a team again. There’s 5 of us in the lab, the head tech, 2 grad students and 2 summer students, so I’m not solitary anymore. Its a genetic therapy project and theres lots of up-to-date techniques to learn. It sounds much nicer to say I “make” DNA, rather than I do mean and nasty things to mice. I actually work till 5:00 now though, so I’m having a harder time getting things done at home and with my art. Mike started working for the International dealership this week. Instead of being a service writer for cars, he’s doing the same thing but for big-rig trucks. Should be more stability than dealing with the regular public. So far he really likes it, but he won’t get his first paycheck till next Fri, so we are broke till then. But we should get caught up quickly, I didn’t get a raise, but his pay should be much better. Buddy has moved on. Petsavers, a no-kill rescue here in town offered to take him. Buddy’s such a sweet dog, I don’t see why he couldn’t get his own home if the public actually gets a chance to see him. Pointer Rescue seemed to do nothing to promote him, I think he will have a better chance with this group. He really needs a home of his own where his personality can shine. I really do need to update the pets page. Avalon has taken a little time to adjust, but she’s turning into a sweet cat, I need to get a picture of her, and Shadow is out in the barn somewhere, I need to replace her picture with one of Salem. And I guess I should put a picture of the chickens up. Ok, I think thats all the news for now. Oh let me put up a picture of Maggie and the Faire Ring in our backyard.
A fairy ring is where the mushrooms grow out in a circle. They are growing out from where we used to have the goat tied up. I think the story goes something like its where fairies come to dance, and if you step inside the ring they will whisk you away. I hope we didn’t piss them off… hehe.
