I was going to post the statistics of my learning process when I reach my 3rd anniversary. But I failed to do so.

I have them together now. I have them in PDFs. There are two:
Hours spent by category
Amount of time on each song I have learned. The total includes practice time, time on accompaniment, and time doing and editing the recording. You will see 2-3 that have quite a lot of hours.
So, I am posting links to PDF files on my Google Drive. It's a bit picky. So in case you come to this post while it's not working or something, I'll be deleting and trying again. So if it's goofy, that is why.

Amos and Annie finally have their own relaxation place. They seem to like it.

Haven't loaded much lately. Thought I should give it some attention

Amos & Annie love finding new boxes. All is as it should be.

Now this is interesting.

So, at our previous home, when Amos wanted to go out on the lanai he would sit there and stare at the door handle. He would even stand on his hind legs and try to pull the door handle down.

So he's doing the same thing here, almost, wanting to go into our bedroom, and lay on our bed.

But, notice that the door handle is on the opposite side of the door, ie. the door handle is on the left and he is starting up at the place where the door handle should be, in his mind.

Why? The door to the lanai at the previous house opened inward with the handle at the right, So, he's at the right despite the fact that the handle is on the left.

Bill Barton you will appreciate this.

A couple nights ago Bonnie and I were working on something in the kitchen area, and then we heard a lot of racket: sounded like metal, maybe glass, or both rattling around...a LOT. Could barely get out "What the heck..." and Amos came running through the family room, did a quick left turn at the dining room, and around the table, at about 120mph. Closely behind was a sack of glass stuff, crashing and breaking as he went past the side of the dining cable.

Left in his wake was some broken glass, and remnants of a small shopping bag...one of those that have the twine handle.

His curiosity required him to stick his head through that handle to investigate the contents, then the bag attacked him, and he was off to the races.

He hid under the bed in master bedroom 2 for about an hour. The picture is after he finally came out.

Well, I got the sound bar to check out. I have a large mess while unboxing, and Amos quickly took up residence.

Well pretty much everything moved out of the house today. The kitties took over half the remaining furniture.
