Month of June

5th - Bootsie sleeping on my laptop. My dad lives outside a small village so we've always had stray cats come and go. We've had momma cat for a couple years. This liter of kittens had allergies. My friend Megan and her mom helped show me and my sister how to take care of them and clean their eyes. I talked to my groomer and she suggest fish antibiotics and it worked within a day. I became attached to Bootsie. I had to give her formula because she was the only one still wanting to breast feed (momma would walk away from her everytime) after 8 weeks while the rest were already eating food.

10th- Troy, Ohio. I did some house/dog sitting for my aunt and uncle while them and the kids went to Myrtle Beach for a week. It was a HOT week with no a/c but at least a few nights were cold. Pictured below is Ace and Sugar. It's making me rethink having a large dog. I've always wanted a Husky and now the Newfoundlands look cool, my groomer has one.

One energetic dog!

12th- My sister made me some cupcakes with whipped icing.

18th - This I had to get a picture of. This has to be the only time Shadow has let Bootsie sleep near him. I think part of the reason is because it was storming and he usually gets all scared and shaky when he sees lightening and hears thunder. Now he snaps and tries to attack her probably because she always tried to play with his tail.

19th - Adorable. You can see what the allergies do to her eyes...all gunky.

20th - Springhill Nursery in Tipp City had a sale so I got one of these to plant at my mom's and one for my friend for helping me with my room. I have no clue what it is but I've only seen it bloom once and it was pretty. I love the color.

Mom's House

I figured I'd post a few pictures of my mom's house. My friend's step-dad put down all new floors. My mom, lola, my friend Megan and I did the painting. Megan mostly helped with my room.

May 18, 2008. Huber Heights, OH.

My room with the walls and floor done.

June 1, 2008. Most the hardwood put down. Which we now realize was probably a wrong choice. The cat has knocked over so many things and it's nicked the floors and we had some problem with water coming through the floors from the bathroom and furnace area/closet so when you walk near there the floor pops. Too late now but it looks really nice.

June 2, 2008. Bathroom connected to my mom's room. Before.

June 25, 2008. After. Ceramic Tiles.

Kentucky in May

I figure I'll start where I left off and make my way to more recent pictures. My friend asked me to come along with her to London, KY. I figured why not I'd like to get away (issues with my grandma).

May 5, 2008. We were heading down towards Cincy. It's been maybe over 6 years since I've been out of state. This is the first time I had actually stayed in Kentucky.

The first night we went to a fight with my friend's brother called WarriorFC in Williamsburg, KY.

May 3, 2008. The next day she gave me a tour of the town. Pictured is the Levi Jackson State Park.

We stopped and checked out a car show downtown. I use to be into cars with flames. I have to say this is pretty sweet looking.

She then drove me around to I guess some people call the Millionaire Estates. This was my fav. out of them all.

We were heading to Somerset, KY to visit her grandparents who were down there for the weekend. First she took me through Liberty, KY which I guess is an Amish Community. It was very beautiful and peaceful out there. Along the way there were several closed gas stations. The reason I took this picture was because I thought I'd never see gas this cheap again. When we went down there it was around $3.50 a gallon. I remember when I first started driving...about 6 years ago I'd pay around $1.98 a gallon, sometimes less. I guess I was wrong seeing how gas had recently gone down to $1.36 a gallon. Probably the cheapest I've seen around Huber Heights maybe even cheaper, I just can't remember.

We came across an Earth home. I'd like to have one of those or at least go inside of one.

My friend and I found this interesting that we turned the car around just so I could get a picture. We were basically out in no where...in the mountains.

I thought this was cute.

I've never heard of this place until then. We met up with a friend of hers. I'm assuming it's exactly like a Waffle House though I've never ate there.

May 4, 2008. The next day we went to the flea market near by. I thought this sign was cute. It was in a booth of and old lady who sold things like candles and lamps.
