It's Labor Day, a day when American humans celebrate work by taking the day off! (Sounds like typical human logic, doesn't it?) Jack & I think there is no better way to celebrate Labor Day than to show off the fruits of our Dad (and Mom's ) labor!
Here is the new door and lights Dad put on the side entrance... and the lights work! That's because of all the hard work by the electric company workers after hurricane Irene turned off the lights in hundred of thousands of homes here last week. Mom says those workers are her heros! We hope they have a good day today (although we know they have to keep working till all the lights are on everywhere.)
Come on in and see what the pawrents have been up to -
Dad is finished with reconstructing the hallway! Check it out!
New tile, ceiling, walls, lights, doors....
gosh, everything's new out here!
Here's the view from our husky door (it leads out to our yard).
Mom made a special painting for this wall -
its right across from the bathroom for,
as I like to say, "an interesting view from the loo", ha-roo roo!
right here in Newport - she says its a furry interesting place to visit!
Here's a few pics of the hallway as it progressed:
the original back entrance (that's the bathroom window outside)
Having the back half enclosed:
New back door, starting the ceiling
(see the old "outside" door still half-way down the hall?)
July 2011: ceiling & lights in, concrete floor leveled out, vinyl & old shingle siding stripped off:
From no door....
To new door!
And thru it all, Jack has been lead Siberian snoopervisor.
Good job snoopervising, Jack!
And Happy Labor Day to all woo hard workers out there!
That's today's veiw from the Moo,
Toodle-woo!
Miss Moo
The road took us past the house & back around to the car. We were tired tired pups when we finally got back to the Siberian Outback! And woo know what they say.. "a tired Sibe is a good Sibe". Whatever.
Hey Mom, woo should come over here and take a picture looking out at the bay!
Isn't she a beauty? This is the Mt. Hope Bridge, a lovely old suspension bridge from the island to the mainland. (from Portsmouth to Bristol, for woo geography lovers). Years ago it was a toll bridge. Mom's been over it a bunch of times, but she's never seen it from this angle before!
God bless the families of 9/11
Here's one of her favorite regular customers, Mr. Cardinal. He was holding fast as the wind whipped the crabapple tree fiercely! He and his Mrs. & their daughter all fly in together to fill up on tasty sunflower seeds. Poor birdies were really drenched during Irene! (They've fluffed back up again now).
Hope your Friday is full of fun as it flies by!
