Boston Road Trip - day 2

We spent a lazy night at JoAnnes just catching up & hearing about the kids she has in her class this year.....don't know how she does it. One example spending forever teaching a 12 year old to respond "Hi" when someone says "Hi Mason".....he always repeats what you say.."Hi Mason".  JoAnne has a passion for this even though the rewards are very hard won!

We had to laugh at Popster when he came back from taking Molly for her last "potty break" before bed.  He had walked down to the commons with her & while crossing a fairly busy street a car full of young girls pulled over & wanted to pet his cute dog!........Molly now has a new title..."The Chick Magnet"
I love this shot......reflections are cool.
This was Sunday morning early heading down to the river.
We found a small section that had been shoveled
It didn't go very far so we ended up walking up Moody street.
Here's Molly doing some window shopping
We left around 9:30am & headed over to Groton where Popster's brother lives.  We don't see them very often so made plans to go have brunch with them before going home.
This is Taryn their youngest daughter playing the piano.
Popster & his baby brother Gary
We left there around 12:30 & I did my "mirror, mirror on the wall" to get us back to the Mass turnpike & home.........good thing we weren't in a hurry as Wilma sent us off in the wrong direction again??

I'm losing faith in the magic & I thought I asked so nicely!

Even said "Thank you.  Have a nice day"

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...
