Mr. Hansome

Niki
Nicki has discovered a new trick.  If he can beat me to the under counter cabinet where i store and scoop out his kibble, he can get thrust his head into the bag and get some extra crunches before i pull him away.   It hasn't occured to him that i would scoop out less... and, in fact, i don't, given the amount of exercise he's getting.

Step 1


 Flour & Butter

  

& Water


It's the fork that does it.  None of those noizy whizzy thingies.  So who cares about carpal tunnel?

Proud Tree in Fall

Aldergrove, B.C.  (10/09)

It took a while <cof> to reorganise and rename some 2000 fotos on disk but there was no other way.   In all events, Rosco is obliviously content, moving slider-bars with his spongy paws.   He says, Lightroom is a pain in the tail, but it has a few features that his copy of Phoshop doesn't. 

Meanwhile filenamer and chowprovider has managed to weather the bronchial storm while only missing one day at the gym and doing a double makeup workout today.   New running shoes feel good; apropos which: try on this years' model and buy last years model on line for 50% less.  Given the number of years i've been running, why on earth was it important to have the latest model?   Duh.

Omni Sancti

 

1 Who are these like stars appearing,
These before God's throne who stand?
Each a golden crown is wearing;
Who are all this glorious band?
Alleluia! hark, they sing,
Praising loud their heavenly King.

2 Who are these of dazzling brightness,
These in God's own truth arrayed,
Clad in robes of purest whiteness,
Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade,
Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand?
Whence come all this glorious band?

3 These are they who have contended
For their Saviour's honor long,
Wrestling on till life was ended,
Following not the sinful throng;
These, who well the fight sustained,
Triumph through the Lamb have gained.
