To NYC for a wedding

We left early, early Friday morning to drive to New York for Joshua's wedding

The sun was just coming up

Then we ran into the fog. Popster was under the weather....his usual "back to school" cold he catches from the little "germ carriers"....so I drove for a while. Of course that was going through the Catskills where the fog was at it's worst

JoAnne has moved out of Manhattan & now lives across the river in Weehawken......a much easier drive

It was so strange looking a the skyline in the fog. It felt like you could reach across the river & touch it

We headed out to catch the water taxi

It's so pretty where she is now but they miss the city

We had taken a cab but it got stuck in traffic so we got out & walked

Popster with his daughter:)

We made it to city hall around 11:00 & that's when the fun started. We had to get into a long line just to get through the metal detector. This is when Popster started to fix Joshie's tie

Next up everyone had to check in at this desk to show their id

Still working on the tie

Carol's turn to try & fix it

At this point we have lots of time to get that tie right as they are #731 & they are still working in the 600's

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...
