I'm here, really

That's Cliff, his brother Don (who drove the U-Haul) and his brother Phil. Phil's the oldest, Don's the youngest. They hadn't been to bed for over 48 hours when this was taken.

We've had a hectic two or three weeks around here, and it isn't over yet. We've exterminated ants, had a water softener put in, had the air conditioner worked on, and moved and moved and moved.

Cliff has spent the previous three days with his two brothers, moving his sister here from Wisconsin, which you can read about HERE. I blogged about it on AOL because I had so many pictures, and they have that album format that Blogger and Flickr don't seem to offer.

Cliff needed to mow hay last week, but between the rain in the forecast and the big run to Wisconsin, it didn't get done. He hates putting up hay that is past its prime, but it can't be helped.

There's still an endless list of things to be done around here, and much furniture to be moved from the shop into our old house for his sister. We're trying to figure out how to get a tanning bed upstairs, over there. Those things are heavy!

Pushing Pandora

I mentioned Pandora on my AOL journal, and two different people had not heard of it. They thanked me profusely. So, although I know most Blogger folks are a little more "Internet-knowledgeable" than some of my AOL friends, perhaps there are one or two of my readers who don't know about this wonderful site.

Go to Pandora.com and set up a radio station. Start with your favorite singer or song, they'll add similar music to your station. With each song that plays, you can give a "thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down". If you hate the song, you never need listen to it again.

I have several stations at Pandora, one for any mood I might be in. I just created a fifties station, which I started by typing in "Pat Boone". I have a Gospel station, a folk station, and a country station.

There's no cost and no advertising. Trust me on this, you're going to love Pandora.
