1-26 Bed

Take a look at that picture, think that bed looks like something from the 80's? You would be correct. This is a King size waterbed from about 1985 and every day we are home we sleep on it, love sleeping on a waterbed. We bought this when we were living in an apartment in Tucson, moved it into our Tucson home, moved it to our rent house in Austin then into our permanent Austin home. Larry said when we sold that home the bed was going to the dump and we would purchase something newer and more modern, maybe a sleep number bed, well when the house sold he took it apart once more and put it in storage all the while saying he didn't know why. When we moved into the new house he hauled that bed out of storage and reassembled it in our new house. Now to be honest we really did plan to replace it and even researched new beds but over the years Larry has developed some pretty bad chemical allergies and foam seems to be especially bad, sleep number beds have a lot of foam in them so up went the old bed. For years we have talked about at least getting a more modern oak frame and headboard for this one but it has just never seemed that important, wouldn't make it sleep any better. Do you like that quilt? Hand made by Larry's mother, come summer we remove it, she also made us a very nice summer quilt. Love those quilts.

Our Waterbed

Larry and I are getting ready to go on a snow skiing trip and we decided to board Flo for the first time. We usually leave her with Aunt Louise but her aunt sometimes works 16 hour shifts and we thought it was unfair for Flo to be stuck in the house that long. Larry did some research on the Internet on places to board pets. He found a few places in the Belton/Temple area so we drove around to look at them. We stopped at the Belton Veterinary Clinic to look at the facilities and asked how it worked. They told us before she could stay with them she needed a few vaccinations updated (bordetella and influenza) so Larry called our vet and made an appointment for her shots, the vet didn't carry the influenza vaccine so Larry called the Belton Veterinary Clinic and they said they carried it. They told him he didn't need an appointment it works on first come first serve basis for vaccinations. Today we took Flo in for her appointment and while there we found out that they board pets. Larry walked around and looked at the area and we decided to board her there and made the arrangements for her stay. They didn't require the influenza vaccine so Flo only had to get the bordetella shot. This was a good thing for her.
