Chain Story #1
Deep in the forest he sat. A lone figure huddled beneath a tree, shivering. The rain was pouring steadily now, but he no longer noticed. He was soaked through and there was nothing else he could do about it. He pulled the blanket a little tighter around his shoulders and scooted closer to the trunk of the tree. "Why did I ever leave home?" He wondered to himself. "Well, I guess there's nothing to be done about it now. I can't go back." With this thought he drifted off into sleep. When he woke up the sun was shining. He ate a meager breakfast of dried fruit for he could build no fire with the soggy wood that was laying about. When he had finished he repacked his blanket, shouldered his pack and continued through the dense trees that surrounded him.

Bob is enjoying his new job with Rooms To Go. So far he hasn't had any horrible experiences. The worst thing is getting up so early!
I've started to learn how to crochet. I'm learning very slowly, but I think I'm getting better. I am thinking of trying something a little more challenging as soon as I finish the project I'm working on now, which is a blanket for Delilah. That is IF I ever finish it. I'm not sure I have the patience.
We got a dog. His name is Jasper and so far he's been pretty well behaved. He does NOT know how to walk on a leash without choking himself to the point of wheezing terribly. But so far he's only ruined one pair of shoes, two blankets and about 4 of his toys. I guess that's what dogs do, and I don't suppose I could ask for a better one. He hasn't messed the house and he hardly ever barks!
I've been getting into cooking a lot lately and eating healthy, too. We are only buying organic milk and eggs, and soon we are only going to eat free range meat. no hormones or pesticides for us, thanks!
Thanks to Rachael I've been keeping the house spick and span! She set me up with a program where I have a few chores each day instead of trying to get everything done on my day off. It makes it much easier to keep up with things! Bob even helps out with stuff, even without being asked! It's nice to know that people can stop by without me having to worry about how messy the house might be.
