Pictures of My Place
3 March 2003, 4:31 PM

Jeff took some pictures for me over the weekend:

This is what my dining room looks like now. I finally got a tiny cabinet for the corner to put all my teas and jellies/jams in. I wish I had more space for my growing collection of cookbooks, but this'll do for now. The bigger books are at the bottom of the already stuffed bookcases. Those are fresh tulips on the table. I am *so* ready for Spring to start. The sun did finally peek out today.

That's my backside as I'm setting up the table for the shoot. It didn't look TOO wide, so I'm happy enough to put it up.

Those are my bookshelves, pretty much unchanged from when I first moved in here. As you can see, I'm starting to stack things in just anywhere I can find space.

A cute shot of "Muffin", the stray kitty that everyone in my complex has been feeding. I think she may finally be comfortable enough with us that we could manage to get her to the vet to get her spayed and have a look-see at that missing right eye.
