Last week's highlights - Day 776 (Yr 3, Day 43)

Bismarck, ND

Roger and Cathy returned from their trip back home to Oregon, after having been gone for about a month.  They brought their cute little dog, Pogo, with them (not sure of the breed; I'll have to find out and take a photo).  We haven't really had time to hang together yet though.

Looks like I totally forgot to mention a highlight of 2 weeks ago, when we went to a production of Much Ado About Nothing, but on by a local Shakespeare troupe.  It was held on the State Capitol grounds and was extremely enjoyable.  Mitch and I really do like live performances, whether it be Broadway or small local community theater.  So last night (8/6) there was community theater performance held in a park (Sleepy Hollow) - we saw Cabaret.  Prior to the show, there were local awards given out and then a speaker who gave a synopsis of what the show was really about (Germany when the Nazis were coming to power).  Weather was beautiful.  This acting group is highly sponsored by local businesses so had much more professional staging and lighting than the Shakespeare show did.  Either way - very enjoyable.  Some photos:

       

There's a huge craft show at the Capital today, but it's already after noon and we have a bit of puttering to do, including filling a truck tire with air, fixing the urb-es (there was a recall on the bolts, so they sent us a new kit to install), need a few groceries and I must defrost the freezer again.  We need to troubleshoot why I need to keep doing this every 2 weeks; I'm certain the seals are loose and may need to be replaced (another thing we'll need to figure out how to do).

  1. First of all, Pogo is a great name for a dog.

    When we got our new fridge, it was something similar. It turned out that one of the rubber edges(Google tells me that it's called a door gasket) wasn't fully attached, so it was letting in air. I did a quick search for how to fix this: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Replace-Refrigerator-Freezer-Door-Gasket/?ALLSTEPS
