...not the same one?...I hope..

It's hard to tell.  I have 3 of these.  They are all 15 years old hand all have been resealed once.  They've all been moved to Mobile and back here and put in storage and set up again.  They were taken down and set back in place moved around again when Mr. Sharp rebuilt the tank stands.  If the guys put the tanks back the same way they were before I did the work it's a different tank.  Who knows

I'm done with work.  I guess I need to get down and consolidate fish and move my millions of baby's from the leaker to a 120.  I hope I can rustle up a strong guy when the time comes to take the tank down and set it back up.

I found me a bit strong man.  Jack and Judy's son in law, Sean.  He's a really big guy.  Between him, April and me we'll get the sucker down.  Heck he could lift it himself if it weren't 5' long.

....ta da.. !!!!!

Sean, April, and Sean's oldest daughter just left.  The tank is down.  I'll do the repair tomorrow.  They'll come back when it's ready to be put back in place. 

I was afraid it would happen and it did...April invited me to have Thanksgiving dinner with them.  I hate it when that happens.  I had an ace in the hole.  I bought a frozen duck today.  April asked while we were in the kitchen where she was deciding upon a choice of beers.  (6 choices of beers)   I got to show her Ducky in the fridge and tell her how much I'd love to accept but I was looking so forward preparing Ducky"  It is the truth.  I did my best to get out of it gracefully.  I hope I succeeded.

I feel guilty about enjoying being alone especially during the holidays.  People feel sorry for me and want to include me in their family gatherings.  They just can't fathom how an old lady alone at home during the holidays cannot feel lonely   Jack and Judy figured me out.  They invite me to informal outdoor gathering like a crawfish boil and I have a blast and don't realize that I'm the only one who isn't a blood relative there until I've left.  It's the holiday gatherings where I feel like a stray being thrown a bone.

We didn't go to the Native Am. Arts Festival...it was really windy today so we went to Tucson for the first time...One objective was to go to the Arizona Nature Aquatics fish stoore.  I want to start looking for my first aquarium to set up....Got there and it wasn't open...so I called and learned that they have moved there and won't be opening again until Dec10...bummer! 

So we looked up a couple places that Lucy wanted to see and one was the Habitat for Humanity store there...so we did that and found a Kokopelli lamp that we'll use on our deck... I think she wants to rig it with a solar light....

Then we had a good lunch at Caruso's Italian eatery near the University of AZ.
