Whatever Strikes Me

Just received an e-mail today from Linda Burmeister, passing on photos and a report from Julie. As they had planned, John and Cathy did some heavy sweating in New Orleans last week and, as a result, Julie now has floors. Here’s what Julie had to say, followed by some photos of John and Cathy in action.

From Julie:
I do not know if you saw Cathy and John today, but here are some pictures from last week. The floors look great, but I feel so bad that I had to work all week and this one is not going to be any better. We have a survey by the Respiratory branch of JCAHO, who is now using the tracer methodology to do the survey. The air went out last week but my brother says it can be on again before the weekend. Next Saturday is my birthday and the best present is being made possible by you. I will be moving the majority of my stuff out of the trailer into the house.
Love You, Many Blessings, and that is for Dennis also!

Here’s what Julie had to report about her status as of July 8:

Just a line to say hello. My weekly progress is that I am still awaiting the Energy company to give me electrical power to the house. Cathy tell John I tried to copy his work in trimming out the doors. I put the flooring into the closet, but it will be almost as costly to put through out the house, so I am going to be learning how to do ceramic tiles in a couple of pay days. I have not taken anymore pictures mainly because I had put up plastic around the walls waiting for the ceilings to be completed with the popcorn. Christy the flowers are doing well!

Many Blessings!
Julie

Instead of watching fireworks, my 4th of July evening was spent at Jeni’s, a fellow reef aquarium keeper. For some time, she and I had been trying to find some mutual free time so I could photograph her aquariums. Jeni is a rather talented aquarist, both saltwater and freshwater. Several nice shots came out of the effort. My favorite shot from her reef tank is this one of a coco worm, a large filter-feeding tube worm. To see the rest of the shots from her reef tank, go to my Reefs Gallery.

From her freshwater tanks, one of my favorite photos is this one of her many discus. You can see more discus in my Animals Gallery.
