[My] Life in Wisconsin

Eyeballs. Animals. Cars. Weather...

Sunrise, through the pines...

Good Morning All;
Something really F~U~N~K~Y with my computer lately. Running and (reacting) quite choppy.  So if I am not "on" you know why.

I apologize for not blogging, having been spending lots of my time doing research on Casey's TP/AIT procedure; and finding people that have gone through this all.
We have not heard back yet; although Casey is to call Dr. Sutherland's office today.
Keep your fingers crossed please.

***Important note to Splat,
Please do not forget to UN~cross
those appendages.

pancreas by you.

As promised to my restless dogs, and myself,
we did take that walk back to the woods.
.
.
Cnv0827.....Cnv0825
You do not see Miss Milly because she was on a leash.
Too many hunters around;
(bow, and bunny, and squirrel hunters)
to be taking any chances on her wandering off.

.
.
Notice too, that we came home to disked fields.
(WTH ever happened to plowing a field,
like is suppose to be done)?

At any rate, this proved to be the last walk before the snow came.
.
.
Cnv0838 by you.
.
.
Cnv0837 by you.
Don't let ANYONE fool you.
These are the only acceptable snowfall amounts.
hehehe

.
.Cnv0841......Cnv0842
.

I wrote a message for you all
on the back windshield of the old Buick...

And just to give you a little idea how much "Snow" we got...

.
Cnv0839
hehehe
.
.
The "Snow" was all gone within an hour or 2.
(Yup. These ARE truly the snowfalls I love)!
.
.
Did I mention my old reliable 1992 Buick Roadmaster?

Stay with me here for a minute...

Know that I haven't gone for "Chinese" in a while; but if I had, this is the fortune that would have been in my cookie.
.
.
pee by you.

Stolen from here. CLICK
.
.
Been fighting the ahem 'urge' to not fly off the toilet and go through the ceiling when I pee. And yes you know me, it's been going on since before we went to Minnesota.
And yes too, I did agree to take the antibiotics for three days.
(Are you proud of me now)?
It is some sulfa (and a HUGE horse) pill. I also take some prescription that turns my pee a very nasty red~orange~rust color. (If I didn't think I was dying before, this surely makes me wonder)?

Back to Monday...
I had that doctor appointment, and afterward had arranged to go pick up my boys.
As I got in the Rendezvous, throwing my winter jacket (and Punk) in the backseat, I turned the key...
...It clicked and the entire panel went black.

NO !!  WAIT, dammit, I'm late already...

Not being one to trust that these cars really mean it, I turned the key a few more times. (Just to give it more chances to start).

No go. No way. Just black.

There was also no way that I was forfeiting either the doctor appointment, or the boys. So I did what any other normal (read "desperate") human being would do.
I came back inside, grabbed the keys to the
Roadmaster;
(Unlicensed for 3 years, uninsured, & in dire need of shocks).
SO?
So hang on, cuz I gotta "go".

Got Punk in there.
She loves this car, and much prefers the velour seat covers to the leather anyway, (no slippage of dog with braking or cornering).

I turned the key, and it fired right up.

I made the call that I would be late for the Dr., and realized I needed some air in the tires too.
Late. It will have to keep til after.

It did.
And I did not take the boys.  Too darned unsafe in that car...
But I did go visit anyway. (Heck I'd gotten to the clinic without being pulled over, what's a few more miles)?
.
.
Cnv0862 by you.
Master Gabriel!
.
.

.
Cnv0861 by you.
And Baby Sam!
Where on earth did those blue eyes come from?!


And which is the dominant gene, blue or brown?
(9th grade biology escapes me right now).


Hmmm...
.
.
Here's Miss Milly showing a bit of blue...
hehehe
.
.
Cnv0853 by you.
Casey thought Milly was cold outside.
It was 42° that day, so... NOT.


.
.
Even Mr Sputty shows off a blue~green cast from his eye.
.
.
Cnv0860 by you.
So he is kinda fat...
Must have been the meeces.
.
Of which I have seen NONE for the past weeks.
YAY Sputnik!

.
.

Normally, I would tell you what this is all about...
.
.
Cnv0883 by you.
.
.
But THAT'S a whole 'nother blog (tomorrows); and I'd better close for now.

I do promise to try to keep you updated better...

Love to all.

XOXO
Anne


PS
The BLUE in today's counter (below) is as close to real on Baby Sam's eyes as I could find...

Nestlé Withdraws Nestlé Farinha Lactea Cereal in the United States
Contact:
Nestlé USA Corporate
(818) 551-3284

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- November 3, 2008 -- Nestlé is withdrawing Nestlé Farinha Lactea cereal in the United States. Nestlé is taking this action as we have learned that the product may contain residual traces of a pesticide not currently approved for use on wheat in the U.S. While the pesticide is approved for use in Brazil and the noted levels are well below Brazilian standards, it is not used on wheat products in the United States and therefore there is no set standard for its presence in cereal. The pesticide is permitted in the United States on grain crops other than wheat.

Nestlé Farinha Lactea cereal is manufactured in Brazil by Nestlé Brazil and sold primarily in Portuguese language communities in the United States. The withdrawal applies to all sizes, varieties and production codes of the product. No other Nestlé products are affected.

Nestlé USA is assisting with the withdrawal of this product from the U.S. market to ensure the continued quality and safety of Nestlé products. Nestlé has not received any illness reports or consumer complaints.

Consumers who have purchased Nestlé Farinha Lactea cereal should not consume the product, and should return it to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.

We encourage consumers with questions about the withdrawal to contact Nestlé Consumer Services at (800) 628-7679. Media should contact Edie Burge at Nestlé USA Corporate & Brand Affairs at (818) 551-3284.

The company is taking this action in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

If any medical events were to occur, most are expected to be temporary and resolve without medical treatment. Parents who have given the product to their infant and are concerned should contact their health care provider immediately.
