LiLi's first visit to the Big Apple

For LiLi's birthday this year I gave her a choice of a gift or going on a trip somewhere. We went to New York city for the day on the train & Jessie came along with us

We left at 7:15am & Josh & JoAnne were meeting us at Penn station. Josh was in charge of what we were going to do for the day

She was just a little excited!

We found JoAnne right away but had to wait a few minutes for Josh to get there

We got on the subway & headed for the museum of Natural History

It is unbelievably big & had so much to see. You would need to spend way more than one day here to do it it justice.

We only had a couple of hours so we just picked a couple of floors to see

This was the African room

As you can see it was two floors with amazing displays

Then it was off to see the dinasours

This guy was too big for the room he was in

The museaum overlooks Central Park

We had to go down to the lower floor to see the great blue whale

Love Val💖

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 ...

Work, cat bites. hospital.....

After a long winter I went back to work on Thurday & as usual it was crazy with the phone ringing off the wall! The weather wasn't that great but golfers in the northeast are like caged animals who are finally free! We had good weather predicted for the weekend & I was scheduled to work both days. After a very long day Saturday I finally got done around 8 pm & was meeting Popster & Jess in Ballston Spa at a surprise birthday party for Jeff & Colby. Jess met me in the parking lot & said she was leaving as she had also worked all day. She showed me her arm where she had been bitten by a cat earlier at work. She had gone to urgent care & they gave her antibiotics & she went back to work. Before I left for work Sunday at 5:30am I woke her up to look at it & didn't like the way it was swelling up. I told if it didn't look better when I got home at lunch we were going back to urgent care. This is what it was...
