Such sad news

Dani received an e-mail from her agency letting them know that Michael Wei Zixiong - CCAI in-China representative - had died from a cerebral hemorrhage. It was such shocking news that we are all having a hard time with it. He was so young. Michael was the agency guide in Nanning & was so just unbelievable with his care of all the adoptive families & babies. He had a room on the same floor of the hotel & his door was always open in case someone needed him. He did everything from taking all the families to the grocery store to help them pick out baby supplies, arranging laundry service, having water delivered to our rooms, to teaching "soothing" chinese phrases for "Gotcha" day. He even arranged a trip to visit the orphanage even though, it being a relatively new orphanage to open up to adoptions, they did not "allow" visits. We were able to take the trip & see the outside of the orphanage & while in the town Michael found someone to help each family to be able to go to their child's "finding" spot. On our bus trip to the airport when we were leaving Nanning he taught everyone some Chinese lullabies. There was no doubt he just loved what he was doing!

The world lost an "angel" today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while &
