Water

This is Soccer. He's my cute little kitty. And he can talk. Really. While he can only say one word, it is a most important word for him: Water.

Every morning before everyone gets up, he wanders around the house meowing, and it really does sound like he is saying "water", in a most pathetic and needy way. He has a bowl of water, so its not like we're neglecting him. But he likes his water in a very particular way, and is very set on that way.

When we get up and head to the bathroom for our own needs, Soccer hurries in and waits by the sink for us to turn the water on for him.

After he eats his little breakfast, he hurries over to the kitchen sink, sits in it and waits for us to turn that water on for him.

While I understand his obsessive need for water from the sink, it sure would be nice if he didn't wake the whole household yelling for it every morning.

Just an abandoned house

See how long and unending? This is South Dakota. ;)

One of the joys of South Dakota. The sunsets.

You can't have South Dakota pics without the faces.

More of what South Dakota really is. Don't let the Black Hills fool you. A whole lot of nothin.

New Camera

We got some money for our fence replacement from the insurance. It gave us a little extra, actually. So we got a camera that actually works and is kinda nice. So I decided to add some pics here from the new camera. These are close ups of our animals.

Half Lights

Ok, these are way dark ... sorry. But you can see on the left at least an outline of our house. LOL And on the right, you see that Chel really did only put lights on *half* of it. ROFL

Since I'm deathly afraid of heights, even on a ladder, I can't help much ... It's all Chel. In this case, I'm glad I can't be blamed!

And Mike, no, *I* didn't pack the box too big! ;)
