Happy "16th" Birthday Jessica


I cannot believe that this little girl is 16 years old today!


We were babysitting one sunny afternoon when you were almost ready to start walking. What did we do? We taught you how to walk with your hands on your head! For the next two weeks that was the only way you would walk!  Needless to say it did not go over well with your father!
You grew up believing in everything.  

You collected coffee beans...the ones that fell on the floor in the market & planted them in the back yard believing you could grow flowers!  We planted flowers one night so you would find them in the morning!  

You believed in Santa & the Tooth Fairy & the notes that both of them wrote to you helped keep that belief.

You loved to sing the car but only if no one was watching!  You belted out a very "mean" version of Shania Twain's "Man I feel like a Woman"! when you were only 6 years old!  That was the year I drove you to catch the bus to Girl Scout camp every day for 4 weeks.

You were also determined to pass the swimming test for camp & took it every week for for two years until you finally passed.

This was taken when you were 3 & were so thrilled to get a puppy for Christmas & no you're not strangling him!

Happy 16th birthday sweetheart & remember the gas pedal is on the right!!!

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 &
