Don purchased a vacuum at an auction for $3.00. Luanne brought it out to clean the front deck. It would not pick up anything at all and skreeched like a dying pig. Don had walked up the dock and several of the neighbors were coming down to voice complaints. One guy had stuffed napkins in his ears. I suggest to Luanne that perhaps she should toss it over the side. She walked over, unplugged it, and taking both ends she hosted it over her head and heaved it in the drink. Guess what? It floated. Don came back and pretended to be upset that she had toss his nice new vacuum in the lake. He proceded to fish it out and sit it on the dock where it sat all day.

He thought he could call home on his Ipod.

With no invitations issued, about 25 showed up to feast on the chile and deserts.

Zoe doesn't know how lucky he was to be refused chile.

Typical reaction.

I think he got a bite of the chile. He was pretty upset about something.

Luanne borrowed a cleaner from a neighbor and cleaned the deck.

Across the dock neightbors.

Don trying to figure out what went wrong.

Love those eyes.

Don reflecting on his success as a cook. The chile was great and everyone had a good time until late in the evening.

It sat there mocking Don all day long. I suggested he should plug it in and see if it worked better.

Zoe is the neighborhood pooch. He thought he might get some of Don's chile, but everyone knew he would never survive it and refused his pleas.

Don's chile feed.

Sally was trying to decide if she should swallow.

He was posing for me.

Luanne dug in.

This little one was so cute.

I'd like to say Don is plotting a new course, but he was just fiddling with the Ipod. He had problems operating it too.

Then another dog showed up also begging for something to eat. Poor baby was so underfed.

First bite.
