Hiking in Saratoga Historical Park

One sunday in october we met Mark & Dani at the saratoga historical park

This is our motley crew setting out......notice we are mostly wearing jackets but it wasn't long before we took them off

LiLi had brought along a friend.....hard to believe they are the same age but it shows what a pipsqueak she is😜

When we got this far Jessie decided to let Luna off leash

She was good for about 5 mins & then her terrier instincts took over.

This is where she just started running but she did listen & Jess caught her.....baby steps!

Somewhere around this point a certain someone, whom I will not name but, that someone is not in the picture, discovered they had lost their glasses. While the rest of them kept going Popster & I walked the same quarter mile section of the trail four times before they were found😌😌. At this point we ended up walking back to the top of the hill & waiting for them.

There weren't too many pretty trees as we had a very drab fall this year because of our crazy weather

See the tiny ants in the lower part of this pic.......that's the rest of our party on their way back

It was a gorgeous day for a hike in spite of spending about 30 mins of it just staring at the ground😛

Today we have a riddle???

What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip? The following......... This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing. This is the back....got tired of doing squares! Matching cover for my serger. I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot. I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon. Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do 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 ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike. It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it. They start off very slowly....... then speed up a little...... which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash...... gradually she feels more comfortable.... then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
