As I was going to St Ives........

Susan had to work on Tuesday so we drove to St Ives to take her to lunch

Popster & I lived here for a few months when we first got married
So did Oliver Cromwell!

We set out in search for our little flat
It has totally changed but I think this is the street.........
Image result for english phone booth......this could be the house.  We lived on the second floor & a "creepy old man" lived downstairs.  I locked myself out one night when Popster was working the night shift on the base.  I had to go up the phone booth in the square to call him to rescue me.  I remember hiding out in the phone booth until his friend showed up with keys!


Look at this bridge......no cars allowed anymore




The alleyways are so neat



This is where Susan works.  We picked her up & went for fish & chips....yummo!

Does Popster blend in with the locals......hahahaha!
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives? 
What is the answer to the riddle?

Love

      I just showed Rosie the photos and asked her where it was. She said Onley at first but as soon as she saw the bridge she guessed. It's uncle Colin's. Lol.

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 ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
