The momma and Sam are very excited about the upcoming Dave Matthew’s Band concert they’re going to. Even Wolfie and I like to lay back and listen to their songs.

But sometimes Wolfie likes to really get down!

Several years ago, the momma was talking to her good friend on the phone while typing away at her computer, when she spilled a coke all over her keyboard! This was back when most keyboards were priced around $75. Her friend said that her husband did that all the time and knew how to fix it. Simply take the keyboard to the sink and rinse it well with clean water. Then turn the keyboard over to dry completely. Best to dry in a warm (very low temp) oven, but can also use a hair dryer at the lowest temperature setting. Well, it worked! Over the years the momma has spilled beverages on several different keyboards and has brought them back to life by rinsing well and drying with the keys facing down.

A few weeks ago, when she was visiting Sam to work on their project, a glass of red wine spilled all over his keyboard. She quickly disconnected the keyboard and started running it under clean tap water. Well, there are no words to describe the expression on Sam’s face when he saw her do this!

She told him not to worry and that she knew what she was doing. Reluctantly, he let her continue and hooked up his laptop to his computer to continue working on the project. When the momma was satisfied that all of the red wine, dog hair, etc, were rinsed out, she took the keyboard downstairs to Sam’s kitchen. His oven has digital controls, so she turned the oven on to its lowest setting (170 F) and placed the keyboard upside down in the oven. After about 30 minutes or so, she returned to the kitchen to fetch the keyboard. As she reached in the oven, she burned both forearms on the top oven rack. She pulled out the keyboard and ………..

The momma and I have this mental telepathy going on….she’s away at a meeting. She’s having a great time seeing her old friends and hanging out some with Sam. Here are a few photos of me playing at the dog park a couple of weeks ago. Sam took these photos. Aren’t I cute or what?

Here's a little puppy I can pick on......

Whoa! She's bigger than I thought!

Submit and respect my authority!

Oh...you're gonna get it now!

The momma and I are so excited about our next President, Barack Obama! We realize that many people are concerned that he lacks experience and is just a smooth-talking lawyer. But we really have high hopes for the future of the US under our new leader. He is such a strong motivator of young people (like the momma, of course!). If he had lost the election, we believe that many Americans would’ve felt helpless to affect any changes in the economy, environment, education, etc. (that’s a lot of e’s!). This is not a political blog by any means, but we wanted to post these photos of Arcade Fire at an Obama rally earlier this year. The momma’s friend, Sam, took these jaw-dropping photos and is allowing her to publish them on my our blog.

Well, the momma and I are back at home and really missing our friends. Here is a photo of me and my pal having a great time….

When the momma and her friend were out enjoying the day on Monday, they stopped so her friend could photograph a beautiful tree with bright yellow leaves (one of these photos may pop up in a future entry). According to the momma’s friend, it was the perfect time of day for shooting photos…right before sunset. Anyway, this freakola comes running out of the house on the property near the tree and yells at the momma’s friend to stop taking pictures of his house. The momma’s friend explains that he was not taking photos of the house, but of the tree near the road. The freakola starts yelling that it’s his property and to stop taking pictures of it. This went on for several minutes. Of course, the momma’s friend had every right to photograph the tree near the road, but the momma was starting to get nervous so they left.

The End!
