Where have I been?

I wish I could say somewhere exciting but no!

The most exciting in my life right now is checking to see if the grass is growing!
This is what my yard looks like right now.  We ended up raking up the whole yard as the perfectionist in me didn't like what they had done.....I know but I'm anal like that!  We had 3 yards of top soil delivered which we took wheelbarrow by wheelbarrow to the back & spread, raked & re-seeded it. 
Notice all the leaves?  Well apparently all the digging sent my trees into temporary shock & they were dropping leaves like snowfall!  It lasted about 4-5 days & thankfully has now stopped.

Of course the seed they put down is growing beautifully in my garden & in the mulched area along side the garage. 

I keep repeating to myself "Patience.  It takes time for grass to grow.  Rome wasn't built in a day." 

It's not helping!

I want my yard back!

Sniff.  Sniff!

Love

    You know how Popster takes a trip to Florida each year for a few days? Now would be a good time for you to do it. Run away for a few days.

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...
