"Old Gal"

This "Old Gal" has a whopper of a cold....I started last Wednesday night with this mess. I have coughed so much my thoart and chest is raw. I am surprised it is not bleeding. No joke! I hate putting my head down the sap runs and it is not tree sap....I hate to cough because the sparks fly from the opposite end and I just hope no one is behind me striking a match..."puff." The kids look at me funny when all these things start going on ...the nosy blowing....coughing, sparks flying. Sadie, starts barking and I in turn have to tell her in just Mom...no one is here...the sounds is all coming from me. It's like being a one woman band.

Tom's visit.....

I had a visitor yesterday morning...I was standing at the sink ironing and happen to look out the window and took a double take as one would say. I said to myself looking through some of the shrub as well boy that looks like a "Tom", will I walked slowly to the breezeway window and looked out, sure enough it was. Look at this!....what a picture I was able to get. This is right in my driveway. His hens are up by the bird feeder eating, there was about four of them there chowing down. I put out a mixer of crack corn and sunflower seeds most everyday, unless it rains but I have suet out all the time for my birds.

New Baby......

News in the family....so I am using a neutral color as we don't know yet what the baby is. Kiersten is due in November. This is my youngest sister Sherry son's girlfriend. She is just a peach you can not help but just love her to pieces. Here is a picture of them taken at Crystal's over the weekend. They live in St. John, NB, Ryan works for Canadian Customs. They both are very excited and we are all so very happy for them. I can not believe Sherry is going to be a grandmother....will I can. Will you know what I mean. Hard to believe these kids have grown up and are having kids....guess that means I am really getting old....hehehehe. Oh well...part of life's greatest wonders. I want to thank Ryan and Kiersten for being able to come home for Gram's birthday.....Hugs kids!

Random Things......

We sang "Happy Birthday" to Mom per Addie request, but let me just say we forgot candles for the cake. Goodness, we never could have put 75 on it....would have set off the smoke alarm, so we just pretended to blow out a candle. So here are the photo's of our choir singing "Happy Birthday"

Mom's Birthday

I have been away the past few days, the kids and I left on Friday and headed for Lubec to celebrate my Mothers 75th birthday. I have to say we had a beautiful to travel the sun was out and it was up in the middle 40's. I guess "Spring" is upon us. Will we arrived late afternoon to Mom's and they were waiting for us....the kids were glad to be able to get out and walk around and explore new territory and do some more business...hehehehe. We visited for awhile as our plan was to stay at my niece's house. I had promise the girls that Aunt Judy would be staying with them and Crystal has the room for us. This makes it much easier for my mother as well, especially with the furkinds. Will we arrived at Crystal bag and baggage...the girls are so excited...here comes the dogs........look out Addie it's Chester, you can hear Kelci yelling to Addie...so funny but cute. Chester loves kids, especially when he can give them kisses and they are big kisses....Bassetthound kisses...Sadie..will she is a little lady and has the attitude...leave me alone...I only want my mother. Crystal had ordered a birthday cake for Mom. I must upload a picture...now I had told Crystal nothing fancy...just basic...flowers...which worked out well as Cindy, this is the lady that made the cake, had company arrive...as it was her mother's birthday on Sunday and her sister came up from the south to celebrate it with the family. Will here is the picture. Cindy (Ross) Eaton, is one of my classmate's we graduate together. She has done Crystal's girls birthday cakes...does an awesome job. Thank you again Cindy.

Daylight Savings.....

I do have to say I like daylight savings but I don't like getting up at 2:30 in the morning and not being able to get back to sleep. Truly makes for a very long morning. I enjoy the extra time at night we get of light, but now I am getting itchy feet....I want to get outside and work my yard and see my flowers start popping up though the ground. The weather man says we have some warm weather coming starting tomorrow....I say count me in! I can handle some warmth. Next week I am going to start doing some "Spring cleaning" doesn't that sound exciting? I look back to see what I have done all winter and I got nothing done with my scrapbooking. I managed to get in allot of shoveling and more shoveling. The Hubs and I did some snowmobiling, something I have never done before in my life and I must say I truly enjoyed myself, ourselves and the company we kept in doing so. But now the time has come, I think it is time to put away the winter toys and think about getting the summer ones dusted off. Oh, I so hope the summer will be good to us. Only time will tell.

Long Time!!

Here we go again! It's been a month or more since I have updated...shame on me....I just do not where the time goes. We have had a few snow storms...oh yah! or oh yuck!...whatever one would perfect to say....me I just say I do not look forward to shoveling. This has been turly an old fashion winter...ones I remember as a child growing up. This was the last storm. I was up over my knees out on the decks, so you can imagine it took me awhile to shovel them off. Being retired you will always have something to do at home, if not inside out; whether it be winter or summer. I have one more I am going to upload. This is looking out from my doorsteps facing the driveway...what a view! I do have to say it really is pretty. Oh, guess what! today is the 1st of March and we are going to get another snow storm....only in Maine!
