That made me smile Onyxelle Congratulations!

Oynxelle--

Good for you--even if "they" won't do your "survey".

I'll try to keep this short and sweet:

I live on the first floor of a 3-family home. My landlady, who is getting on in years, lives on the second floor. This past autumn, we had an issue with mice. My landlady called an exterminator to take care of the problem. Mind you, the entire neighborhood has had a problem because we've got several restaurants within a two block-area (better than six legged creatures, I say). Now I haven't seen signs of mice since the one my dear kitty so proudly deposited on my bed (dead, thank goodness) back in October or November. I'm not convinced that we still have them. The exterminator is not convinced that we still have them. The landlady has been adamant that they're there. She insists that between the time she makes her coffee in the morning and the time she goes to clean up from having made breakfast, there are droppings on her kitchen counter. Finally, she saved some of the droppings for the exterminator so she could prove her case.

Turns out the "mice" are pooping coffee grounds.

Ha! Good one Terry. Poor old lady!

Kopi Luwak or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee cherries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The animals gorge on the ripe berries, and excrete partially-digested beans in their feces, which are then harvested for sale. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Kape Alamid), in the country of Vietnam, and the coffee estates of south India.

Enter the word of 'Kopi Luwak' in major search engine like Yahoo & Google, you'll find most of online store will sell Kopi Luwak from $175 to $450 / lbs. !!

A day off and a house full of snuggly dogs.

The Clan is gathering. Nigel took the overnight bus down from Montreal
and Hermione will leave the Peoples' Republic of Cambridge to join us on
Sunday. I'm psyched.

I was so nervous about an outfit I'm having made with a new dressmaker. I went for a fitting today and everything looks great!

went down to lake ontario this afternoon . even though there is a good ice cover on the lake , some ducks and gulls have finally returned - spring is in the air - but it's still well below freezing overnight - 12 C BELOW for the next several nights but getting milder next weekend .

Eoe--

There's many a slip between.....and not just underwear, either.

Noodddyyy...I'm trying to remain optimistic here.

Eoe--

I'm on your side. This is a costume of your dreams and a little nervousness on your part will help the couturier with the precise fitting and the delicate stitching.

So far, so good, right?

Check this out! This guy always makes me smile.

Roger Powell does a sand sculpture at Riverside Park in my hometown of Findlay every year for Easter. He is AMAZING! I absolutely love him and his wife. No two finer people to hang out with for a couple of hours....playin' in the sand.

This is the sculpture for this year.
