Funny Girls

Wow! mom you will never guess who we saw at the Space Needle in Seattle. It's Gloria Victoria and her best friend Bloddy Mary. Can you believe it, haven't seen them in forever. Ha! Ha!
Sometimes my girls are so funny. That Alex is always doing silly things. They found the sun glasses in the gift shop and had to pose. I still crack-up every time I see the picture.

Do you ever wonder why you are snapping and snipping at the people around you. Lately it seems that no matter what I do, everything irritates me. I just want to relax with peace and quite. I want my house finished and all put back together. I hate that the kitchen is all done except for the paint and tile backsplash. The floor in the ajoining family room is still just grey painted sub-flooring. I am so tired of cleaning around the pile of flooring and waiting for someone to just do it.
Everytime I bring it up, he has an excuse for not working on it. I would do it myself, but that would create a big fight. I hate the procrastination. I just want to get the stuff done and the house put back together. The undone is making me crabby and frustrated. Well I'm better now that I got to tell someone how I am feeling.
See ya

Wow! February is almost over. We are almost into March and it looks like we may be going into it like a lion. Today was a chilly one in Happy Valley, Oregon and the weather man says tonight is going to be down around 27 degrees, Coooold. Andi is sick and stayed in bed all day, Alex is grumpy and hubby is at work. Somebody help me, I think I am going crazy.
Uh Oh, cranky pants is home and wants to go to the grocery store. Better go before she chews off one of my arms.
See ya

Tme fly's

I can't beleive how the time flys by. We have been busy working on the house, celebrating holidays and loving the family. The 11th will be our oldest daughters 23rd birthday. It seems like just yeaterday she was born, and now she's going to be 23. I feel like I've grown older without realizing it. We have been working and trying to survive. Where did all the time go. It is amazing to see our daughters become beautiful young ladies. Here is the young ladies of our house. They sent this pictures to us from the Seattle Space needle last saturday. The one on the right is our Andrea. The one on the left is our Alexandra, the younger sister.

I'm so glad they are ours.

Its the season!

It's the time of year that makes me crazy. I feel like screaming. I spend all my extra time working on projects/gifts for friends and family and then its all over in a flash. All this build up and poof. It seems like we spend all this money and no one is happy. This year it seems even more dreary with all of the economy woes. I don't understand how there is a problem. The stores are full of shoppers, just like always.
I feel so sad for all these people that are loosing their jobs and I worry about mine and my husbands. I have been saying my prayers and hoping that the work would pick up. I have worked hard that last few years and I love the people that I work with.
Hope you all have a great Christmas!
See ya

It me!

Is it a plane, is it a jet, nope it's just me. I'm back to write something. Can you believe it. I would have been back but I had nothing to write. Just going to work and coming home. That is it.
I can't believe the presidential election is over. I thought it would never be over. This has been the craziest election I can remember. I hope the US gets through the next 4 years and the economy gets better.
My oldest daughter and granddaughter have moved in. My youngest daughter decided not to go back to Oregon State and stayed here to go to community college. This house is full again. Creates a lot of work for me, but I certainly do not feel alone.
I hope all settles down so we can relax again. I hate all this stress and turmoil in the world.
While all this has been going on, we are remodeling the kitchen and putting new floors in the family room. We started in August and are still at it. we have the tile backsplash and floors and the we are done.
See Ya soon

More puppies

Here is a picture of the puppy we have started calling Tubby. He is a lot bigger than the other three and a piglet at feeding time.



They will be 7 weeks old tomorrow. I was hoping that I would have new puppy parents lined up for them by now. I love raising sweet little babies, but I get bummed when they leave to their new homes. This is the last litter that we are going to raise, because I don't think it is good for the mom to have too many. We will be having her spayed as soon as her tummy shrinks back to normal.

Several of the people who have gotten them before have stayed in contact with me and that makes me feel better about them going to new homes. We interview and watch how they interact with the puppies before we will sell them. I want to make sure that they will be loved by their new families.

Will write again soon.
