Time for an update.
We have been sold again. In case you haven't been through this saga before, we live in a duplex - all 810 sq feet of it. Built as a side-by-side, each unit two story, two bedroom, living room, kitchen, basement and a closet that pretends to be a bathroom. Carbon copy of the one next door that is now a 3 bedroom, 1 3/4 bath also 810 sq feet. Our 2nd owner was a creative contractor that should have been in another occupation. Two of us and cat was iffy if anyone was in a hurry. Now just two of us and little better.
Anyway - young couple bought it with best intentions, but not real landlord savvy. Now it is a retired gentleman with a grown son. He seems to be a little more savvy about property (owns some other rentals) and was very nice to talk to (that means he won't raise the rent right away) Had four sitting in the living room and two people couldn't stand at the same time. Need to get up one at a time and move to the front door.
We have been there almost 9 years and 4 owners. That's one more owner than neighbors. (it is still vacant if any of you are interested in living vertically and brushing your teeth in a closet. Close to trains to watch, too.
Cold front headed this way. At 8:30 last nite (bedtime) it was about 25 miles west of us. 4 am it was 20 miles west of us. At this rate, it should be to BC in Chicago about October, Joe in November and Tree in.....well I can't predict that far in advance. So heat has gone down a bit, but the humidity is just about where the temp used to be. You get extreme heat or extreme humidity. No choice. No rain either. It's August. It's eastern Nebraska. It's normal.
Now about that new coffee cup. Mutt - maybe a bigger coffee pot?
X for Duchess....

Is this heat wave because we're downwind of birthday candles in Arizona?
Best wishes, Nance69!

Afternoon All
Duchess and I returned to her vet today for a recheck. They gave her another RX as she was running a fever. The regular vet was not there so she saw a sub. Right now we are staying the course with the other meds and the special food for liver damage. She has another appointment next Friday. She does not seem better, but she does not seem worse either so that is good. We are still hoping and praying for a good outcome. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCE 69
Everyone Take Care
Good Morning to You All,
First Off, to Nance69! Hope you have a great one!
Mook, like the reversed look this morning. You should wear it more often, even if it isn't St. Patty's Day. I just went to an Irish Festival in Silver Plume on Saturday (I even had some Corned Beef and Cabbage!), so it's all good by me. BTW, Mutt looks like he's straining himself a bit with the Coffee Cup, I had better go see if an amateur photographer and a mutt can drag a kitty's coffee cup around.
Well, I had best be off. I get to head to a Pre-Con meeting down in the Springs this morning. Normally that would have been a nice mini-road trip (we don't get to the Springs too often) but Alas! we've got steel grey skies in all directions this morning. Still might take a camera with, but I doubt I'll use it.
Anyways, hope you all have a great day!
TTFN!
Q ^~^ Q I got tired of the same old look, so had my groomer reverse it. Probably should have kept it for St Patty's Day, but want to try it out well in advance.
Bought a new cup for my coffee, too, but having trouble getting it through the door. It will be a great place to nap after the coffee is gone. Maybe Joe will come in soon and pull it through the door for me. (leave it on the floor - NLR (no lifting required)
One of those days.

Ed,
It's very worthy of framing. It gets my vote for best portrait ever by a long shot. I still get chills looking at it. Those eyes....
