Welcome to the August 5th addition of
The AC Menagerie Bulletin
For a number of years now I have referred to our home as the Zoo, mostly because it is always full of rather curious and sometimes wild caricatures. So I thought it only fitting to name my Friday weekly review post the AC Menagerie Bulletin, as this posts is a brief account of the weeks happenings at our home and here on my blogs. Both of which are filled with a bit of the unusual.
- Overall it has been a quiet week at the Zoo.
- We welcomed a new member to the family. For some time now my daughter Lexi has been suffering from kitten fever. So when a friend of mine asked if I knew anyone who wanted a kitten as she needed homes for three kittens, I knew exactly who to tell. If our home wasn't so small I am sure Lexi would have wanted to adopt all three, but instead she chose this fun little guy. After a day of playing with and watching him she gave him the name Moments. As she said his eyes remind her of a 'precious moments' and his playful loving personality was sure to result in many wonderful moments.
- This week, my artistic and creative pursuits have been limited to taking photos, a bit of writing and a lot of photo editing. This is one photo from a series of portraits of my youngest granddaughter that I have been working on. I hope to share the series next week on my photo blog.
- Today our maintenance man provided a bit of entertainment, by moving a refrigerator up a flight of stairs. The staircase is not a straight climb, but is split into two sets of stairs, each facing the opposite direction of the other and separated by a rather small landing. Needless to say it is a very difficult staircase to navigate with large objects, especially all by oneself. But he did it! When asked by a neighbor if he had done it by himself his reply, which appears on this meme below his photo, was quite funny.

Nita, I don't know how often you use DISQUS but you should change the link on your profile to your blog URL/address. It makes it much easier to click over and people to find your blog. Or use your web site which I just found looking for your blog.
Kitten are nice but they grow up to be cats - I know that's my own personal issue.
Funny pic of the refrigerator story. Using at least two strong people is much safer and easier on pulled ligaments, popped disc, etc.
