I live with three kids…two of them have four feet
Hehehe, we got our Daddy on floor with us. It’s time to get wild and play!!!
Pictures because I am lazy today…
In case any of you have wondered what my desk top looks like, this is what is on my right side and on the top.
Yes, there are two skinny pictures to keep reminding me of my goal. No, we won’t talk about all my toys. 😛
My batty Pez holder is empty…need more Pez.
You all have a good one!
Waiting for checks
I wonder if the people I owe money to would believe that the reason I haven’t sent them any checks is because I ran out and I am waiting for some to get here?
It’s true and I feel like quite the twit about it. I meant to reorder them, I really did, but things in this house never seem to fall on the sane side. I forgot. I completely forgot all about them.
You all have a good one.

Today is Patty’s 9th Birthday.
Since she was a rescue dog, we’ll never know for certain when Patty was born, but today was the day we chose for her. She’s our April fool. I should say, she’s her Daddy’s April fool. As far as she’s concerned I am the alpha but her heart belongs to him.
Happy Birthday Patty. Holy cow, you are now nine!
Interesting birds showed up yesterday
I was rather surprised to see two downy woodpeckers and a lovely little nuthatch had decided that our tulip poplar needed an inspection. This was the best shot I could get from the kitchen window.
You all have a good one!
She almost broke her brother…
I had Gavin and Patty out in the yard yesterday and they were enjoying this new freedom they have with the new fence. Patty especially enjoys it, she loves to run flat-out around and around the entire yard.
Well, she was doing one of her flat-out runs when I noticed she was heading directly for me and Gavin who was sniffing about the grass near my feet. Gavin, oblivious to her impending collision, kept at his sniffing.
I, on the other hand, quick to surmise impending doom, dashed to one side to escape catastrophe. Patty failed to swerve the last-minute, as one of her predecessors was wont to do, and tried to leap over Gavin.
As you can see, I said ‘tried,’ the attempt was unsuccessful she hit him with her knees on the way over and almost went ass over tin cups. The sound of the impact made me cringe. Gavin uttered not a peep. While I asked Patty if she was trying to break her brother.
Gavin headed inside. I don’t blame him. The yard would also seem less fun to me if I’d been freight trained. I called Patty in from yet another high-speed circuit of the yard.
Opening the kitchen door to let both dogs in, I couldn’t suppress my giggles as I hollered to The Curmudgeon that his baby girl had tried to break her brother.
You all have a good one!
Sneakers…oh dear..
I need to buy some cross trainer sneakers, mine are completely worn out. I have fairly new walking sneakers, the ones that are supposed to exercise you more than regular sneakers. They are clumsy looking and not great for use in the gym.
I like how comfortable all my Avias have been, but are there better fitting, more reasonably priced cross trainers out there? Do I want gels? I do like the wild color combinations as long as I can use my skully laces with them.
I am suffering from sticker shock as I shop around. OMG! I can’t believe how pricey some of them are!
I shall continue to shop around until I find my ideal pair of sneakers. I have seen a few that have blown me away. I really liked the hot orange and black ones…
You all have a good one!
The Washcloth
So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I’m sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal .. Some shopping, cleaning, cooking. After school when my 6-year-old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, “Mommy, where’s my washcloth?”
I told her to get another one from the cupboard.
She replied, “No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.”
Never going back to that doctor again……….. never.
You all have a good one and keep on laughing!!!
Let’s play!
Lately, every evening around seven, these two nuts start playing. Most of the time that includes hucklebutts and Patty making leg grabs while Gavin tries to wrestle with her.
Never a dull moment around here.
You all have a good one!
Spring? Where?
Woke to this crap again yesterday. Really? Again? Color me grumpy.
You all have a good one and please, think Spring!
Want
Gavin here. Daddy was snacking on nanner chips again. Patty and I tried to mooch some. The Curmudgeon finally gave in and gave us some! Yay!
More changes
Sometime in the late 1980’s, The Curmudgeon dug the hole for our pond. He used a pick and shovel to do it.
It was summer, so my mother was visiting us. She would sit outside, watch him work, and cheer him on.
When we bought the liner, pumps, filters, and our lovely Pan fountain, Mother insisted on buying the waterfall. She so looked forward to seeing the finished pond.
We worked all summer to get it finished and before she left to go back to Texas, we had it done. For years afterwards she loved to sit out by the pond and watch the fish.
My baby sister loved to sit by the pond too. When she visited we would spend as much time in the yard as we could.
With the change of the water feature in our yard the memories of them enjoying my pond will not fade. We’ll be creating new memories.
You all have a good one!
