These are our little three girls. oldest is Gucci, middle is Chanel(we can her Coco) and the chocolate one is Louis(Vuitton). Bougie much? ? …not sure how to rotate a picture here… hahaha

In this thread below, I mentioned that we lost our senior Yorkies within 4 weeks of each other--one in early March (Henry, age 17) and one in early April (Ginger, age 14). March and April were emotionally pretty difficult. With the move looming, we hadn't planned on getting more dogs (we still have Beardsley--10 yr old Chi-terrier mix and Raine--9 yr old Australian Terrier mix). But an opportunity presented itself last week, and we now have two new 10 wk old Yorkie puppies--female sisters Lola and Lulu. Haven't had a puppy in a long time, it's a lot of fun and joy.

Ive wanted to use either the commercial or the song in some way. Tie it in with a French car or something. But...something better presented itself. Cute dogs! Cute dogs everywhere!

Host a friend visiting last night. Cooked butter basted Ribeye steaks cast iron cooked with asparagus and scallop potatoes which has a mixture of smoked Gouda and Havarti cheese. Tomatoes salad, butter and Gewurztraminer wine cooked mushrooms and spicy shrimp as compliments. Did a wine vertical comparison of 2018 & 2019 Barbera.

@oldshurst442 I see your Auto Music Inspired tonight! ?

I do not why, but this warmed my heart. Near teary eyed even.

They are so cute, welcome to babyhood again Robert.

Appreciate the update Robert. I grew up in homes that were just smooth and Hospital White, so with this home, I got an air texture gun and did a medium to small splatter on the walls before painting the rooms eggshell white semi-gloss and then each room has an accent color based on who was sleeping in the room. Daughter went with her college color of a mustard color. My son went with a blue/grey color and my wife choose a light grey for our room. Rest of the house is the eggshell white color except the family room downstairs and office. Office is a peach color with white ceiling and Family room is a green and yellow two-tone room with white ceiling so it feels more like being outdoors.

I love them! I love that they're sisters, too! I'm not sure if I posted it here last year but we got a 3rd Yorkie last year. A little chocolate one who's 3.3lb.

They are using a sealer...no texture, not a fan of textured paint (my folks' house had textured paint on 150+ yr old walls, never cared for the appearance). Moving along slowly..probably going to not finish until sometime next week...taking next week off from work to pack. Have new distractions also at home..

And this is where they have been failing. Their EV lateness has bit them hard over there but it should be noted that any company NOT from China faces a constant uphill battle there. Japanese companies, in particular, have a very fragile economic standing in China (old history and such).

Interesting, Toyota is one of a few companies that does not break out China sales, but based on this story I would have to say that China was a big reason for Toyota near 15% drop in auto sales for 2022. I would suspect that Toyota had sales losses much like other japanese companies as Japan has ignored the EV movement at their own peril. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/japans-automakers-have-made-in-china-sales-crisis-2023-05-02/

Cora had a very fun filled weekend and then painful week day. Sunday started with her catching the Easter Bunny with the ultimate look. Do not mess with me. Monday was a day of why you not playing with me? Tuesday was her first baby tooth lost and crashed sleeping.
