First, Jamie:

Now: more new stuff.

There’s no doubt that the Cle Elum Seven have the best supporters out there. Remember all of the new stuff that I posted about back in December? Well, the gifts have kept coming.

In addition to the heater that is keeping J.B. warm as he welds (thanks to Barb in Ohio), we received that metal shelving unit from local supporters Shelley and Patty that we asked for before the holidays. Take a look at the before photo on our Holiday Wishes blog post (4th photo down after the Burrito photo) and the after photo below!

We also received two door mats from Tamela. I probably couldn’t even explain how happy the door mats have made me, because I might sound ridiculous. Let me just say that before we received the new foot bath mat and the door mat from Tamela, our set-up was a tall pan with a towel in front of it. And the door mat we had by one of the human doors to the outside was a ripped piece of astro turf. Below is a photo of the doormat to the outside. The mirror on the door is for the benefit of the chimps (not so I can take photos of my legs) and was a gift that Tamela sent us a while back.

We also recently received a hose cart from Anthony L. which we unveiled today. We can hook it up to the spigot outside:

and uncoil the hose all the way into the greenhouse for our daily cleaning of that area:

(hey, you can see two of the new climbing structures on Young’s Hill in this photo!)

Thanks to everyone who has given us so much over the last 2.5 years. Like I said, the Cle Elum Seven have the best supporters out there!
