What’s UP with the cats adopting Kelly’s new (used) balance beam as their nap area!!??

Speaking of The Gymnast, last month she landed her back walkover / back handspring combo on the high beam!!

Here she was at age 3…

She enjoyed gymnastics from age 3 to 5, tried other stuff, then returned 4 years ago at age 7 (at Austin’s best gym, make that Texas’ and possibly the Nation’s best gym) — with the last 18 months on competitive team.

She still LOVES it!!

And last week, one I took with her “Fast Camera” iPhone ap and she captioned.

Her balance beam straddles one of our house additions Jim built with his own 2 hands years before she was born.

Yep, he did all the woodwork too, as i sat drinking wine and singing him songs. 🙂

Here’s another view of said room, taken yesterday morning…

My new desk is actually just a table, with Kelly’s old toy shelves arranged on top…

I assembled those shelves all by my l’il ‘ol self when she was a toddler!

A little messy in eBay Command Central transition mode, but I like it — and stay tuned!

Off now to take pix for 10 auctions and get those up.

And how is YOUR life??
