Work, work, work

I seem to notice more and more cattle on Tinian. Perhaps they have been here all along, but there seems to be a much larger number now... perhaps they grow cattle like rabbits on Tinian?

Someone decided to eat their chicken on the run...

This is the property of Celena. I helped her shoo her cattle away so that she could feed her pigs... I have always admired this piece of property, as it has a beautiful view of Turtle Cove.





This is what the view is like from Celena's property

The sign Gnomes have hit again... our time and temperature sign has disappeared again!

There has been work being done at the local Gym. I'm still not quite sure what exactly they are doing...


The roadwork continues from one end of north main to the other




Terri and I got a new air conditioner today! This is a picture of our old one. It often sounded like a train moving through our little apartment...

And this is our new one. It is so quiet you can hardly tell it is even on, and it has all the bells and whistles--it has a temperature gauge, timer, fan settings, and even has a 'sleep' button, so that it automatically turns off after you have had time to go to sleep! This is a great feature since Terri and I, as a general rule, don't like air conditioning, and only use it when it gets too hot--and never at night.
Anyway, it is a great change. They are also going to pull out the old window air conditioner and put a regular window and screen back in. This will give us much better air circulation through the apartment.
As we moved things around to that the man could install the new air conditioner, we decided that there was just too much clutter in our little apartment, and we just had to get rid of stuff we no longer use... This is actually quite amusing when put in perspective.
When we lived in Utah, we had a beautiful 6 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home, with a pool and hot tub in the back. We had a library that filled one entire wall of our Great Room, and had furniture to fill all of those rooms! Now, we live in a little studio apartment that is about the size of what our bedroom used to be... and we think we still have too much stuff! How times change...
