Update on Audrey and a busy long-weekend

Audrey is stable and doing well on her meds. She has been six days now without an episode so we are praying that that is the end of them. She is eating well and enjoying her naps in between medications. I think she secretly is basking in all the extra attention this health scare has brought her. I saw her play with a cat-nip toy today. We still worry and she needs to be checked again next week to see if the fluid between her ears has disappeared from the antibiotics but for now, for today, I feel relief. 

Annie is well and still enjoying her morning treat.


We had a very busy and fun weekend. Two birthdays were celebrated and the retired-guy and I discovered a new 'favorite' breakfast place only ten minutes from the mouse-house. The Metcalfe Bar and Grill did not disappoint.

Our favorite meal out is always the first one of the day.

We ordered our IKEA kitchen for the house and all the windows.

We put an IKEA kitchen in the mouse-house when it was first built and I love it.

The leaves are beginning to change at the top of the many old maples that surround our property. Even the sumacs are beginning to show off. I remember as a child seeing the leaves change from week to week and finding the most beautiful ones to wax and put in a scrap-book. We would bunch some up into bouquets for our gran.

And the garden is still producing...a lot. Today I picked twice; once for us and once for our workers. It's been a wonderful little garden this year in spite of all the rain.

 
Never in my life did I think the *bang* of a hammer hitting nails would be a favorite sound to me...but it is. :) The house is coming along and I need to get a few photos for you.

The sun is peaking through the clouds now and I best get out to the feeders before Simon comes knocking. He is having a blast watching the workers and entertaining them at break-time. I think I should look for a very teeny construction hat for him before something bonks him on the head. 

I'll check in again soon,
hugs, Deb
