"Why can't you find it?"

As I mentioned in the post about our nightmare trip to Albany Popster's car broke down so Tues morning he made an appointment for it to go to the dealership on Thurs to get fixed....something to do with a "harmonic sensor"?????? It should be covered under the warranty. He figured he could drive it as long as he didn't run the air conditioning, defrosters & wipers all at the same time.

This morning was Molly's first class for the new session at dog school......it was at 9:00am & with it being the first full day of school he knew he would be late getting home to pick us up. It was raining buckets & of course he had the defrosters & wipers on & halfway there something popped & the power steering went. He managed to turn around & we got back home again. He called for a tow truck & told the guy where to take it but didn't go with him as he had to drive bus again at 2:00.

He called the dealership & they said they would do their best to get it done today & would call him later. He called there 4 times & no one could tell him what was going on with his car. He finally asked to speak to the manager & apparently nobody could find his car.....they had been looking for it all afternoon. They asked him his plate number but hey this is Popster! Do you think he know what it is???? The guy had put it in the lot with the new cars & not bothered telling anyone it was there! DUH!

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 ...

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...

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates. They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs. Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools. We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem. It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view! Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!
