  I've been busy quilting lately, so my poor Xanga has been neglected.  The most exciting news lately (besides the prospective grandchild) is we finally got the new steps into the lake.  IMO and The Professor went kayaking on Sunday afternoon; everything was so much easier.

  This morning I was sweeping out the garage in preparation for the arrival of the new stove and oven.  (Hurray!)  When I moved Kissa's sleeping bag away from the steps to the kitchen, I was disgusted to see four, forgotten hunting achievements.  Luckily The Professor was still home, so I did not have to be brave.

  It is so much easier to be happy about natural vermin control from a theoretical viewpoint than the actual practical reality.

  Tomorrow the Windstar is going in to get a oil (?) leak fixed; that means the heater can also be repaired now that the weather is too warm to use it.  Oh, well, better working than not.

  Marisol did get an unpaid internship at the congressman's local office.  She will be working during July and August.  She probably needs to find a part-time job to cover the cost of the gasoline.  However, the internship should be excellent experience for a political science major; the man who interviewed Marisol was really happy about her fluency in Spanish since, at present, only one person in the office speaks Spanish.

  Tomorrow, if the car repairs do not take forever, I will try to post some photos of the new steps and the newly painted house.  It's probably obvious that I am excited about all the sprucing up we're able to do this spring.
