2009-01-02 & 2009-01-03

The pictures from the folders 2009-01-02 and 2009-01-03 involved a trip to ACTORS theater in Ames. Plus a trip to Ottumwa to work on the house that Jen inherited. Plus there are some pictures of when I had winnowed down what house I would purchase down to two similar ranch style houses.

The house that I would ultimately purchase was the lucky winner mainly because it had the better yard. It had the better yard times a million. The intention was always to get a golden retriever when I was back up on my own feet and living on my own again.

As I look at the pictures of the runner-up, I assure you Naima would not have been happy with that yard. I also wouldn’t have been happy with such a small yard too. I mean, if you’re going to care about my happiness.

Here are the pictures:

I do confess though, I could have has some pretty great parties with that carpeted bar.

By adding these images to the Photography 139 Gallery, I was able to restore the following “An Artist’s Notebook” entries to their original glory:

Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve saying goodbye to an old cinematic friend and a winter storm.

  1. I was in a play at ACTORS a million years ago, and the wardrobe and shoe area is easily my favorite place in that building!

    Your yard is 1000x better!

  2. Checked out some of your other entries. Glad planned ahead for a fur friend.

  3. I definitely planned for a future dog. I really wanted a place that had a fence because building a fence can kinda suck. Ended up being a 2 year project and the day we finished it, it was well over 100 before heat index.
