Beautiful Beast

More busy days here in Chesterville. Yesterday he got an MRI, and then we feasted on buffalo with friends. Our freezer is full of beautiful meats that Chester's brother Dan brought with him (he carried a big insulated bag full of frozen meat on the airplane from Missouri- venison, elk, buffalo, fish, and other delicious meats that he had hunted and processed himself- what a gift!)

Today Chester and I did his taxes, which was quite a shot in the dark. We had to wing it, and send them in with a nice note to the lovely people at the IRS saying, essentially, "i've got brain cancer, audit me if you dare!" But improvised or not, it was nice to have that done and not have to worry about it anymore.

We then spent the afternoon playing with plumbing, sorting through boxes, and visiting with a friend. A busy but relatively uneventful day- not too much to report.

As we were sorting through boxes, Chester found his "devil horn tiara", which he had put together from two pieces of 1930's rhinestone jewelry. When he put it on, I knew I had to capture the beauty for you all. And the photo also shows off all of Chester's hair, which is growing at an alarming rate. He is a furry beast, for sure. Just after this photo was taken, his visitor arrived, and Chester forgot he had the tiara on. He ended up spending the whole visiting, in deep and serious conversation, wearing the sparkly jewels on his crown.
