I'm back....

I have weeks when I have no plans and so just sit around and watch "Housewives of Some City" reruns. That hasn't been the case recently.

MY puppy training classes have begun (2 down, 2 to go). Fame will be visiting my house tomorrow. It has been a very long time since I've dog proofed my house. Bailey was curious, but unless it was something for him to eat, paper given to him to tear up, or a plastic bottle to "kill" he wasn't interested. All of my yarn was left about without incident.

The Va Beach Historic Houses are going through some changes. We're going to talk about the house/family and Tidewater vs. the time in general. So new tours have been written and we are meeting to discuss and learn. And another change....no costumes except for special events.

Why no costumes? Money. There is none and what the city has provided needs to go to education. The School tours have also been rewritten. And more in class room artifact hands on will be offered.

This past Saturday the Library offered a free Origami Class. ArtsyFish, Macadoodle and I made a crane for the Duke 1000 Crane Project.

And the stitch markers went along. I'm not sure what happened between ArtsyFish phone camera, Cox, my saved pictures and Flickr but if you squint....

Origami markers

Oh, I purchased the Swifer Wet Mop thingy to clean my kitchen and bathroom floors. Nice to have everything all in one. Anyone know where to purchase a different flavor of cleaner? I'm not crazy with the Fabreeze smell.

And puppies love yarn. I found that out because of Elmer. :-P

Wow,you have been busy. Have fun with Fame today! Take pictures!
How do you feel about doing the hosue tours without a costume? I would think that was some of the fun.
