this weekend jonathan was out of town for the "Perfection Classic" aka the annual guys golf trip. back at home lisa and i attempted a garage sale in efforts to make some extra cash for the Texas Tatas and the Breast Cancer 3-day. saturday was quite a success. new to the whole garage sale business i was shocked at how EARLY people came. we made our first $50 before 8am! sunday unfortunately we had to cut it short... our neighbors have a MASSIVE BEEHIVE and poor daisy got stung on the nose. this was her second run-in with the neighboring bees in the last 10 days and had a SEVERE reaction. so we closed up shop and rushed to the Animal ER. much like the human ER we waited and waited and waited and finally 3 hours later we were able to go home with a doped up daisy. the busy bees have been next door since we moved in (6 weeks+) and we just don't know what to do. we have called the city, animal control and the HOA and everyone says "there is nothing we can do." i am dumbfounded by this! in the meantime, we have to cautiously watch daisy (and ourselves) every time we go outside and the hive just grows larger. and on top of it, the vet said her reaction will continue to worsen each time she is stung to the point that we may need to carry an epi pin for her! RIDICULOUS!! BUZZ OFF BEES!
lisa's quick note to garage sale shoppers
(we ended up closing after that - so if you need any furniture - give us a call!)
BUZZ OFF BEES!!
(pics taken 6 weeks ago - the hive is now almost 1.5x BIGGER!)
we spent the 4th of july with the harp's and their giant puppy Riley. daisy was unsure of her at first but they are now best pals.
AND... we had human guests too! jonathan's parents (sue & hal) came to spend a weekend with us. we had a wonderful time cooking out, enjoying the great weather and sharing our home with them. we always have a terrific time together - just hanging out. daisy (the grand-dog) was much of the highlight so, our weekend pictures are consumed mostly of her.
