Took Chewy to the airport this morning for another weeklong
business trip out west. Ended up
missing church so I decided to mow the lawn so if anyone was planning on having
a BBQ for Father’s Day our lawn wouldn’t look that bad. After I had finished mowing the lawn I ended
up talking to our neighbor for a bit and exchanging various home
maintenance/upgrade projects that we’re working on. He gave me a tour of his place and he’s really done a nice job
with everything that he’s had installed/replaced. I mentioned a few things about how our houses differed and
decided to show him our living room since we have this 4×4 pole in our dining
room and he doesn’t. (I used to think
it was a support post but now I’m thinking otherwise.)I felt somewhat weird since his house was a typical setup
with a living room, dining room, family room in the basement, etc. Our house is the ultimate in convenience, at
least for me it is. Though the weirdest
thing is that on his mantle he’s got some little dog figurines (the same type
of dog he had to put down a few weeks ago) along with a framed picture memorial
of his dog hanging above the mantle. We
have Darth Tater and Spud trooper. I now
see why Chewy is always bugging me to put my “toys” away.
Speaking of Darth Tater this always gives me a chuckle when
I see it:
