Myrtle Beach

It was so cold when we got up this morning, the wind was howling & there was a heavy frost on the ground.  We were on the road early &arrived in Myrtle Beach late sunday afternoon.  By now the temperature was up in the mid 30's so we were able to take Molly for a nice walk around Tom & Carol's neighborhood.
She settled into their house like she owned it.

Popster & Tom were meeting Bob at Oyster Bay Monday morning to play golf.  It was very cloudy & rain was predicted but they, of course, went anyway.  Carol & I had a lazy start hanging out & catching up on life.  We put Molly in the car & found a place to walk her but it started to rain before we got too far.  We made our way up north to where the guys were hitting all the outlets & stores on the way.  Lots of fun!
It wasn't raining we got there & the guys had played their 18 holes without getting wet.  Carol Tom went back home & we went over to Bob's house(he lives 2 mins from Oyster Bay).  We picked up Noreen & Max & went to the beach.  I did get in trouble at this point because apparently the car was running on fumes......sorry but I don't pay attention to gas tanks!
It was a little windy & not that warm but we had a great walk followed by a great dinner & a chance to catch up with them.
Molly ran circles around us


She loves the beach!

It was a cloudy, stormy sky but I love the shots I got


This is actually an island but the tide was out


This may be one of my favs with the sun starting to peek through

Love

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...

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!
