We had a bit of an accident last night. Somehow, while Mom was in the shower, someone, and I'm not saying who, managed to knock off a shelf. Pictures flew, frames were broken, glass shattered and Mom's first and probably favorite finished sculpture was a casualty.
Surprisingly, the shelf only knocked over some of the pieces on the shelf directly under it and the jade phoenix that Grandpa and Grandma bought for her in China is still intact.
To Mom's credit, she did not get angry. She quickly shooed us away, picked up whatever glass she could see and vaccuumed up around the area. She was more worried about us cutting ourselves on the shards than she was upset about the sculpture.
Of course, now that she's had time to dwell on it, she's sad...
Here's what the Tree Woman looked like before she was trimmed. Yes, Mom can still joke about it. She says she wasn't too attached to it, but we know better.
Now, she's a little worried that she did not manage to get all the glass. And she's trying to figure out how one of us got up to the shelf because we never managed to do that before (might have been a speaker she put up by the TV that made it easy to jump up there, but we're not saying. She moved the speaker last night hoping we don't try going up there again...)
Anyhow, Mom and her two friends, Emma and Michelle, will be going to a spa this weekend and Grandpa and Grandma will be visiting us. See you when she gets back!
Oh, as to who is responsible... Well, Mom has an idea, but no evidence. She still hugged the suspect before she left for work though.
purrsss.
Mom had a pottery sale last weekend, but she still managed to wake up early on Sunday and visit Little Man and his family.
This is Ellie. She's a new addition and also quite the lap goat.
This is Jackson. He's about 2 and a half months old.
Remember Sweetie? Here she is. Yes, she's getting bigger. She's still not a responsible lady cat, but she will be soon.
Sweetie impressed Mom and her friends with her tree climbing and descending skills! There were a few tense moments, but Sweetie proved how graceful she is.
And here is Tiger. Mom apologizes for the over bright photos. The aperature on her camera was wide open, but Mom didn't have time to stop and close it up because Tiger came right for her.

Mooom! You're not serious about selling me are you?
Hello! This is Sir Stringbean. He is an adorable chihuahua friend of one of Mom's friends.
Mom thinks that he has an incredibly tiny head compared to his body and his ears. We think he's cute for a canine.
Before meeting Sir Stringbean, Mom and Sir Stringbean's mom went driving up the coast from Santa Cruz to Half Moon Bay. On the way, they stopped a Pigeon Point Lighthouse. It was quite nice for them to stretch their legs and smell the sweet ocean air.
The fog was not exactly rolling in, but it did provide some ambience to the scene. Mom thought the fishing boat anchored right off the shore looked quite ghostly. Fired up her imagination and all that.
Mom was so busy this past week, she tired us out! She says she has photos to upload to the computer still and hopefully will do so soon. We'll put the Bitey on her if she doesn't do that.
