I sure hope these pineapple upside-down cakes taste better than they look...

Ended up tasting way better than any I have had before. I even got a few comments that I should do it for a living. Definetely not on my agenda.

Our poor kitty

 came home with a broken tail. The end was just flopping around. We took him to the vet who gave him the cone of shame and put him in jail. He cleaned and stitched the wound and wrapped it up. After a few days Roxy got parolled and is back home.

The x-ray was the most expensive thing, but of course he gets to take liquid medicine twice a day also. The vet speculates that perhaps he was curled up in an engine compartment for the warmth when someone started the car. we are hoping that it will heal ok so that we don't have to amputate. Only time will tell, but Roxy is one unhappy kitty.

I've been sick lately. Not quite sick enough to stay in bed, but enough so I stayed home from work. Mostly I stayed home because I work in a middle school and don't want to spread it around. I didn't over exert myself too much, but I did use the time to get a few things done, or at least started. But I'm glad to be back at work and able to catch up on the work I am falling behind on.

My desk is usually not this messy!

It feels as though spring is upon us. Warm weather abounds, and our peach tree has just sprouted into beautiful pink blossoms.

My buddy Mike came over and had a great idea to make a raised planter in the back yard. What ever shall we plant?

For a little relaxation, we went out for pizza and a little Bluegrass. The Andy Rau Band at Me and Ed's Pizza.

Another good day spent with a great friend. Thanks Mike!

Now that I have some room to work, I'm going to give Sandy a little attention... She has been sitting for a while, but I've almost got her engine where it needs to be.

Today I am adjusting the valves and setting the timing. Replace a few seals and she should be ready to hit the road.

My Garage is usually a reflection on how I'm doing. If it's a mess, I'm a mess. If it's clean and organized, I'm doing well. As the picture shows, I've been a little overwhelmed lately, so I've decided we needed a little work.

This feels much better. And I have some space to wurk. Of course I still have way too much stuff. But I have recently found a site to help me with that problem... Freecycle. I will be posting a few things on there today and hopefully someday I can get down to the bare essentials.
