10482. arkymalarky - 7/22/2004 2:18:24 AM I've been wanting a small goldfish pond in our backyard forever and even have the rocks for the border (or a good start of them, anyway. Bob is dragging his feet for fear of more mosquitoes (I don't think they'd be noticed, we have so many now), but I don't think it would be a problem in well-aerated water with fish in it. We've been too preoccupied for so long and now it's starting to interest me again, so maybe this spring I'll manage it.
Which reminds me--I mentioned that my parents got a dog after theirs died. Her name is Suzy. Mose is babysitting her right now because they're in the cabin in CO for three weeks. Their main concern is that Suzy's fallen into their pool four times now and she can't swim well enough to keep from drowning and she can't get out of it by herself. I don't think she'd jump in with no one in the pool, but Mose is leaving her in their backyard by herself while Mose is at work. 10483. arkymalarky - 7/22/2004 2:20:43 AM If we had fish the size of those koi in a pond every redneck within a five mile radius would be here with a cane pole. 10484. judithathome - 7/22/2004 5:31:14 AM Ha!! I bet I know who one of them would be, too!
We're coming up on Friday and Keoni is bringing his golf clubs...I think he might want to go play on Sunday. 10485. arkymalarky - 7/22/2004 5:35:05 AM Sounds great! 10486. alistairConnor - 7/22/2004 5:53:57 AM The goldfish would eat the mosquito wrigglers. 10487. Ms. No - 7/22/2004 5:54:54 AM Oooh! I'm so envious! Wish I could be there.
Just got a call from a friend who's shooting a short film this weekend and needs a make-up artist. I shouldn't take the time off from the apartment, but the apartment isn't going anywhere and this'll be fun. 10488. judithathome - 7/22/2004 7:01:00 AM Heck, yes, go! Like you said, the apartment will stil be there.
I wish you could come with us to see Arky and Bob, MsNo. Maybe next year you could plan a visit to see your folks and take a side trip with us to the Malarky's. 10489. judithathome - 7/22/2004 7:07:50 AM Magos, I got a laugh from my NYT crossword today...I''m sure you'd already done it as mine in the paper is always a month late...
Multicolored yarn
(motley crewel) 10490. Ms. No - 7/22/2004 7:22:33 AM I'm going to be out for Thanksgiving week but probly won't get to AK since it's also my grandmother's birthday that week. Still have to see what the gameplan is. My brother and sister in law and the boys will be out then too. I'm really excited since it'll be the first time the entire family has been out for a holiday in a long time. And of course, the new baby will be a couple months old by then as well.
The film should be fun. It's mostly pretty straight makeup this weekend but there will be some minor gore --- major gore later on but I'm trying to convince him to suggest it rather than show it. I'm no pro and it's better to suggest things than show them if they're going to end up looking cheesy. Just hearing things while seeing a silhouette or shadow suggesting the action is waaaaay creepier than a latex job in most cases. 10491. judithathome - 7/22/2004 7:24:31 AM I agree...some of the scariest stuff is in the viewer's imagination. 10492. arkymalarky - 7/22/2004 7:47:08 AM You know you're welcome any time, No, so if something does work out, no matter how close to Thanksgiving, just call. I'll assure you, we're not going ANYWHERE Thanksgiving (except for the one day to do the relative pig-out thing).
Which reminds me: Bob and I didn't get to celebrate our 20th anniversary because it was right after his dad died and Bob was feeling awful from the diabetes, which he didn't know he had yet, and I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to save the Rural World from our Evil Governor anyway.
This year it just so happens that we're both off that day because it falls after Parent/teacher conferences at both our schools. So I think we may go back up to Eureka and rent a cottage for a couple of days. Either that or Hot Springs at the Arlington, which is what I'd like--do the baths, which I've never done, see Garvan Gardens, ride a White Duck (just kidding), etc. 10493. arkymalarky - 7/22/2004 7:48:08 AM But we won't be in AK, either. You'd have to hook up with Labwabbit for that one. ;-> 10494. Max Macks - 7/22/2004 8:35:22 AM Hey there I just threw my hook line and sinker
in here
to see if there were any fish .
and see some beautiful KOI
but here it is still july and I read posts about
Thanksgiving !! 10495. judithathome - 7/22/2004 11:13:03 AM You just never know what you'll find in the Cafe, Max! 10496. judithathome - 7/22/2004 11:16:21 AM Arky, we'll be comig in a rental car. Keoni is getting one while they fix his truck at the body shop and we decided to use the rental for the trip so I can drop my car off to have the fuel pump changed out over that weekend.
I think it would make it up there and back but the way our luck has been running with cars lately, why chance it? 10497. Magoseph - 7/22/2004 8:25:43 PM Hi, Max, it's about time you show up and say hello to your friends here! Do you have some new paintings to show us?
Hello, Mac. 10498. Macnas - 7/22/2004 9:30:20 PM Hello Mago.
Clear blue sky, 20 deg.C, all is well. 10499. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 9:36:05 PM Lucky beggar. 34° and thunderstorms over here. 10500. Macnas - 7/22/2004 9:44:01 PM And are you still bicycling around? 10501. alistairconnor - 7/22/2004 9:51:18 PM Oh no, finished that last Saturday. Just rotting in a training course this week.
Taking the girls for a cycling trip this weekend. Gentle stuff, the younger one only just learned to ride.
Here : La Voie Verte, former railway line and canal towpath, a couple of hours drive north of us in southern Burgundy.
