The house has the strangest floor plan I've ever seen . . . there are only two bedrooms, an office, a living room (WATCH YOUR STEP, as it's one step down), a dining room (of sorts), kitchen and two bathrooms, one ensuite with the master bedroom (shower) and a smaller one in the hallway (bathtub). There is a wall between the LR & DR that I would like to make into an archway (I would bet it's a bearing wall, so can't be removed entirely), so there would be airflow between these two rooms. I guess pictures would be in order; maybe later today. There is also a two-car garage (full of tools, all arranged just so, labeled and very dusty), and a breezeway to the enclosed utility room. An attic above the garage is the only storage; VERY FEW basements in Arizona 'cause it is all sand so not very stable, OR if you build in the mountain area, it's all rock.

Mother's Day bouquet, with a picture of my Mom & Rico BadBoy.
I've kept this picture out on the kitchen counter.

The fireplace, on which are a few cards you've sent me . . .

. . . which include (l to r): DogMom card from the Six-Pack;
the box that contained a lovely Starfish necklace, from Maureen (see next pic);
card from Maureen

. . . and now includes (l to r): Card to my Dad from Neal's Mom; anniversary Card from Jackie McG;
three listed above; card from MaryB; and anniversary card from Neal's Mom

I bought a printer to use here; it worked until I actually needed to print out something.
Unfortunately, my IT person is busy taking care of six dogs,
so I'm stuck for the time being. Oh well, it looks nice.
(UPDATE: MY IT FIXED IT BY PHONE . . . HE IS SO GOOD!)

The c*t, "helping" me set up the printer,
which is probably why it doesn't work.
The shoes are there because the c*t likes to sleep on them . . .
go figure. At least he doesn't chew 'em up.

The c*t who, my Dad assured me, would NEVER sit in the doggie bed I bought . . .

. . . nothing like a dog or c*t to make a liar out of one!
