Give & Take

Mother Nature gives & then she takes away!  After having that beautiful weather in March we are now having "march-like" weather in April.  It has been extremely windy for what seems like forever but yesterday was brutal.  The temperature hovered just above 40 deg. but the wind made it seem like 24deg!
I was supposed to play golf last night....first night of our Fri league. It took me 10 mins to put my clubs & shoes in the trunk of my car as it kept slamming shut. Same thing at the course I was trying to hold the trunk up & drag my stuff out. Walked up to the club house to find out they had cancelled!!!

I haven't been taking any pics lately so I fooled around this morning with my new lens & Molly.  Can you tell by the expression on her face she wasn't a willing participant??
She wanted her breakfast & the treats I was bribing her with weren't cutting it!

    We were having some really summer like temperatures then out of nowhere we were back into the 60's in the mornings and gale force winds. I loved it but it was short lived. Now it is pouring rain and hot and sticky.

    It might be a good thing thing that molly can't talk.

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...
