A Look Inside the Skippy Haha Vintage Warehouse

rainbows!

this is fuzzy

i was cleaning my only pair of glasses yesterday and they snapped in half. 

no combination of pipe cleaners, twist ties, scotch tape, and/or medical tape could get them back together again.

i called the eye doctor where i had been only one time in september of 2010 for these glasses, and they had no open appointments all week, but were so kind as to come in and open the store 15 minutes early for me this morning. how nice is that!?

they did the whole eye exam at 815AM, everything is fine, and i picked out new glasses, and also prescription sunglasses for the first time.  they put a rush on the glasses which should be ready tomorrow. 

until then, everything's slightly hazy, computing is giving me a headache, and i can't see the wrinkles on faces.

i recommend envision eyecare on charlotte street. flexible friendly people, great choice of frames!

seriously this dog

very watchful

happy birthday ELI doggy!

happy 9th birthday to everybody's favorite choco-mutt, eli!

even though he is a mutt, we let him come inside when it is raining. or snowing.

just kidding! the birthday otterhound is snuggled on the couch pillows right now. snoozing while he waits for a walk in the woods and some meat.

pouncey at the insane asylum

for those following along at home with the pouncey calendar - it's time to flip to april!

you may notice this picture, of pouncey 7 weeks old in front of a crumbling building.

that building is the old VA hospital.

it has been closed since the 60's, though they used it in the 80s-90s as a halloween haunted house.

i've been told that it is still standing because it's full of asbestos and the cost to properly demolish is prohibitive.

the new VA hospital is functioning across the street.
