Touring Kent in the rain

It was a really gloomy, rainy morning & after Naomi & Curtis showed up Lucy made us all a big breakfast. Curtis had homework to do....he needed to write about what he thought a school would be like in the future & also made a model of it. We all had some input to give him ideas & set out for a ride around in the rain before going to buy supplies.

This is a private road leading to Royal St George's...where they hold the British Open every so many years. We ignored the "private" & just drove down it!

No one was playing in the miserable weather!

This is the pro shop

The club house with security cameras - they didn't see us!

This is the view from near the ferry in Ramsgate...on a nice day you can see France!


This is in Broadstairs - the home of Charles Dickens

This is Bleak House where he did all his writing looking out over the ocean. Must have been a day like this when they chose that name!

We took a trip to a pet store & then on to Tesco's to find supplies for Curtis's project. I was happily snapping away taking pictures in there when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder! It was a security guard asking me who I was working for! Apparently it was not allowed but I got away with a few! To see them go here.

We went back to the house & helped Curtis with his "futuristic" school





He was pretty proud of himself. To see more pics go here

It wasn't raining too bad so Popster, Naomi, Curtis & I walked, while Terry & Lucy drove, to the local fish & chip shop for a late lunch.

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 ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
