A side note: gunslinger, elena's birthday, and cats

ok, i bought a life-sized (maybe a little bigger) original oil painting of clint eastwood. for all you dark tower fans, oh yeah, be jealous! ;) it's like having Roland in my bedroom. meow!

erika came to visit! to celebrate, we burned that truckload of wood i've had since sept!

and we had natural, vanilla ice cream with blackberry sauce, walnuts, and garlic!

birthday cake for elena!

happy birthday, elena!

what a cute boy! he's totally embodying the joy of yoga right now.

this may turn into a "thing" i've already taken a picture of chainsaw sleeping next to this picture, so now there's three layers. how many can i take if i keep layering it like this?
