Modem issues

Wasn't able to post yesterday due to modem issues; couldn't get connected to the Internet. Ralph had to restart everything. At least it's working now.

Boxed up a lot of files yesterday for The Big Move. The storage place is supposed to pick them up today, but then we were told that we had missed some deadline for getting them labeled so they weren't going to be picked up. With all the "have it all ready to go by the 11th" messages we got, you think *one* of them might have mentioned the deadline for getting them labeled since obviously this needed to be done before today.

Took some new pictures of the dogs & the pond yesterday. I like how this one of Zoe came out. It's hard to get good shots of her, because she's so nosy she has to get right in your face. As usual, you can see where she's scattered her toys around the living room.

Got a good shot of the "waterfall" in the pond, too. It's really starting to shape up nicely, although the surrounding plants are not quite right yet. Still , it's looking a lot better than it was a few months ago. The front yard is looking better, too, as the plants that don't look so good around the pond are being relegated to the front. We now have a strawberry pot filled with daisies and pansies, an orchid in a wall basket, and a hanging basket of jasmine on the porch & deck area. Oh, and we moved the bat-faced plant onto the deck too. I'll get a shot of that when it's in bloom.

Oh, well, better finish "brainsucking" and then get ready for work. I'll post again tonight.
