Give that man "Husband of the Year"

Up-date:  I got an e-mail from Marcie last night.....they made it home safely!

I have another Cr*ig's list story!

 These things only happen to me!

 It's like I am a magnet for these kinda people!

Anyhow my only thing left that I hadn't managed to sell was our table....it was too big for the kitchen & as much as I hated to I put it on Cr*ig's list.  I didn't have any luck so I waited a week or two & reworded the ad & of course lowered the price.  I got a couple weirdo replies & then this morning got another e-mail about it.  I replied giving my cell & saying it could be seen any time.  Lunch time I got a call from someone who wanted to see it but had never heard of Gl*nville.  She took my address & said it would take them about an hour to get here.  They finally showed up, Marcie & Jim, & it turned out they were from Oneonta which is an hour & a half from here.  She loved the table, she really, really really wanted it!  Jim not so much.......reason being they were driving a Buick Regal & how in de heck was the the table going to fit????

They went back & forth for a few & then Jim asked if I had any tools.........next thing he's taking the table apart!

Marcie really, really, really wanted it!

He put the base & legs in the trunk & thought he could get the top into the back seat.......after quite the struggle it was in there but neither of the doors would close!  Now picture this poor man had COPD & could hardly breathe....in fact a couple times I got very nervous but Marcie kept suggesting all these different things cus she really, really, really wanted this table!

Finally they started all over & put the table top in the trunk with half of it hanging out & the legs & base went into the back seat.  I found them some bungee cords to hold the trunk closed & everyone was happy!

Well Marcie was ....I'm not sure about Jim!  She gave me a big hug & off they went!

I am checking the paper tomorrow to see there were any accidents involving table tops on I-88!

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 ...

Happy "13th" Birthday Liza

Today is Liza's 13th birthday(that is 91 in people years). We are just amazed that she not only is still with us, after being told 18 months ago she wouldn't live 6 months but that weather permitting she still walks 2 miles every morning & another 2 in the afternoon! Check out the slide show.......her friend Lucy came over tonight & they each had a donut w/frosting & sprinkles along with ice cream. It was just too funny as neither one of them can see worth a damn but they knew they were getting something good! Lucy had hers gone in 2 bites but Liza went for the ice cream first & then took her time licking off the frosting!

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...
