New York City

 A couple weekends ago we took a trip down to the city to see JoAnne & Peter
 My GPS sent us a different way this time
 We were headed to the George Washing bridge
 Why is it every time we're on this thing we're always on the lower level?
 Isn't it a beautiful bridge
 We were following the Hudson river

 These buildings remind me of legos
 That is an ocean liner....it is huge!
 See the waterside park on top


 They live on the corner of 30th st & 10th Ave....that brown building behind the crane
 Just two short blocks in from the river
 It was like can we get there from here??? 

The traffic was crazy, so much construction, parking garage was full & Popster asking "What should I do?"  I said "Take a right & pull over so I can figure it out"

Wrong!!

We had turned into a one way street facing the wrong direction.  Four lanes of bumper to bumper traffic coming at us.  I called JoAnne & yelled help!  In the time it took her to get downstairs & find us we must have had 10 people tell us we were facing the wrong direction.  We managed to get turned around & were able to park in her spot in the garage as her car wasn't there.

Love

    OMG...I'd did that in London once but traffic wasn't that bad but it was still scary as sh...ugar. Lovely views. So much travelling but you need to come south-er!

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...
