Just a Few Notes

I have taken some pics of the the area around our Duplex, also a few pics of some of Tina's cats. I haven't been able to get pics of the two FAT cats, but I will before we leave. I will have to leave some of the stuff that Tina gave me, because as I said before, we only have Brian's car. I took pictures just outside our door, the area surrounding our duplex, Tina & Steve's house, and more of the duplexes around the area. I am anxious to get back to Cedar, I can hardly believe we have been here for 5 months. We've had some fun, but just haven't really been able to go anywhere, which has been a REAL DRAG!

I gave up trying to get the cats all fixed. Many of them are destined to be coyote dinner and there is really nothing I can do about it, so why fight it? Maybe I will take some pics of the hats I've made, or not. I will miss having Tina's camera, I should have used it more. Got to download the pics now. For some reason, I'm having trouble getting some of the pics to download, I will continue trying until I get totally frustrated. More later.

Our Time In Reno is Almost Up

It has been 5 months since we first got here, we were able to help Tina & Steve out a little bit, but not as much as I had hoped to. We got 5 of their female cats spayed, but were unable to get the other 20 cats fixed. We were not able to get homes for any of them, but the coyotes had some good dinners it seems. We were not able to get them moved out of their current house and moved up to their house on the hill, nicknamed the "80". We don't know why it is called that. We were not able to help them liquidate very much of their stuff, although we helped them sell $3000 dollars worth of items on ebay and through direct contact with buyers. (to sell the bass fiddle.)

It has not been that much fun because we did not have any money, I was denied foodstamps. (yes, I went through all of that nonsense at the "Welfare Office" only to be denied after one month.) Our weekends were spent going to Costco or Sam's Club so Tina & Steve could buy cat food. Some of the highlights have been, going to the Rock & Gem show, Rendezvous, getting the cat spayed, selling the Bass, getting 5 of Tina's cats spayed, visiting Penny & Jerry and planning to go home.

I cleaned too many stinky refrigerators, too many pissed on items, ate too much fish, too much salad, and went to Sam's club once too many times. I did have time to crochet 42 hats, Tina sold one at work for $35, and gave one to one of her co-workers. I didn't make them to sell, I just needed something to do that didn't include cleaning or going through all kinds of stuff.

There doesn't seem to be much more we can do to help Tina & Steve, so it is now time to go home. Tina will not like this, she will have to deal with it. I can't believe how barren it is here, and that I didn't remember it being this way. Reno seems to be a very backward place, and if they didn't have the casinos, they would just be a windy speck on the road. OK I got the venting done.

I had some more pictures of the cats to post here but Steve decided to put new software on the computer and in the process, deleted all of them. I am going to take more because you just need to see the two big FAT cats she has. Also, she needed to use an ear candle, so Brian took a picture of her that I will post. Tina gave me a bunch of stuff that I will probably have to leave here because we just have Brian's car. I won't miss the stuff, and being here shows me that collecting a bunch of stuff is not worth the hassle. If I collect stuff, I will have to be very strict about what I collect, and I will have to be able to sell it if it gets to be too much. Time to stop the ranting and raving. I am really looking forward to getting back to Cedar.

We Went To A Rendezvous

We went to a Rendezvous on the 13th of June and it was pretty fun. It wasn't too hot which was good. It was more of a Civil War type thing with most of the people dressed up in Civil War era costumes. They had a re-enactment of a Civil War battle that was pretty cool. Of course in their version, the South won. Tina & Steve bought some stuff, but I didn't see anything worth paying money for. I should have taken pictures, but I forgot Tina's camera. This entry is short because I'm just catching up with things.
