Well we've been open for a while now & already had our first Art Show. It was a great success & I can't wait to have more! We've got more cleaning up in the back half of the bottom floor that we should be finished with soon & then we can start on the top floor, again. Our goal is to remodel the small bathroom that is already upstairs, so that we can go ahead and move in! So in about 6 months, we should be living Downtown!!

What a week....

It was a bad week to be a pet in the Daniel home.....Monday Joe walked up to me and said "Kari...I've got some bad news...Bubbles passed away sometime last night." Well Bubbles is our fish...she was about 6 years old so I was okay with her death...she was old... Well then, I guess it was Tuesday, Joe was standing outside with Wicket and he saw me coming....normally he waits till he is done pottying and I am out of the car to come run up and jump on me...but this time he took off into the street and was next to my driver side door. Course I freaked out and Joe says I'm over-reacting but I almost ran over my Baby!!! Well when I pulled into the driveway on Thursday Joe was standing there to let me know the sad news that Bender (our other fish) had also passed. Apparently Bubbles just wants old...the heater broke on the aquariame and the water was at 115 degrees. So 2 of our 3 pets didnt make it to the end of the week. THEN Not only during all this pet sadness I lost my credit card! I left it at a clothing store that is going out of business and she cant find it...So I had to call an cancel the card..which wouldnt be so bad but the lady on the phone tried to get me to sign up for that identity protection think and of course I said no, to which she responded 'Well you did just lose your credit card, and if this happened again you would...blah blah blah blah.' It was just kind of condesinding. Anyways...so here are the pictures that I promised a while back.

  • What a week is right! Hope the next one's better for you guys. And here's to Bubbles and Bender...we're gonna miss them. Aidan's favorite thing to do at your house was to watch the fish.

    And by the way, the floor's lookin' great!

  • I am sorry about your fish Kari and Joe. 6 years is a pretty long life for them wasn't it? Mother had one that lived longer I believe and it was just in a small fish bowl. I am glad Wicket is alright. Let him potty in the back yard, it would be safer.
    I hope this week will be better. Love you. Mema

  • Boy, you really had me scared for a minute. I don't think I even knew you had fish, so when you talked about pets, I only thought of Wicked. I just knew something had happened to him. Whew!! Glad to hear otherwise. I am sorry about the fish, though. :(

  • I bet we will get new fish once we move to the loft...I'm not ready to replace Bubbles and Bender yet plus it would just be to much trouble trying to move new fish and the shock might kill them and then I would have to go through all this agian!

    Trust me Sissy...if something had happened to Wicket everyone would know and I wouldnt be posting on the blog for while....Wicket is my baby!!

    I hope not too Mirk!!...Bubbles used to play in the bubbles that came out of the bubble bar, she loved it....And Bender we got that name from a cartoon call "Futurama" ...the robot's name was Bender...
