Quake

Last night while we were sitting upstairs in the kitchen area we felt a quick jolt.

It was not a big earthquake and it was very brief but it was enough to wake up Rosebud and cause her to come upstairs and check in with us.  She's not usually fazed by a small shaker but this one must have startled her while she was sleeping.

Short Trip

We spent last weekend up the coast in Pismo Beach.

The weather was very nice and we were able to enjoy some beach time.  We also spent one day with a group of friends doing some wine tasting in nearby Paso Robles.

It happened to be the same weekend as their annual Wine Festival.  The wineries were especially hospitable to all guests and we had a really nice time.

Nighttime visitor

The other night we were awakened by some noises outside our bedroom window.

When we looked outside and turned on the light we saw  a skunk finishing up his dinner.  The menu that night consisted (we think) of a mouse.  Whatever it was, it was a noisy little critter right until the end.

We closed the window and watched the skunk finish eating.  Fortunately, he didn't mind (or notice) that he had an audience.

New Couch

 Last week we finally got our new couch.  It took exactly 2 months from the day we ordered it to have it delivered to the house.

I guess there were some production delays at the factory and they ran out of the fabric that we had selected.

Not a big deal.  It's here now and should keep us quite comfortable for a long, long time.
