Laying Low...

Well, isn't she having fun!

Good Afternoon!
Thursday already, and am still having a few problems with respect to my back.
Ok, so it hurts to breathe even.
And it Reeeeeeeeee~Leeeeeeee  hurts to move

Laughing is out of the question, although giggling is very much allowed

Yes, it has been long enough.
And no, it has proven itself time and time and time again that it won't kill me.
Damn hey? 

• First off, my apologies to a few on my email list that might have been taken aback by my bitchiness in my last "sent" to you.  (But it really is my blog)! hehehe  I will reassure you that it certainly has nothing to do with anyone receiving this through email each posting.

It doesn't happen often; and usually only happens when my fur is rubbed the wrong way for quite some time.
I believe the immediate problem has been resolved on my part.

And life goes on!   ......Say "YAY "

I have a few more pictures of our trip- Seems as though that is all I have been doing is trying to upload my pics to Flickr.
It is tedious, but worth it to me. (Dang dial up).
.


While at my grandmothers home in Sault Ste Marie, I took pictures of pictures.

I took this one especially for Cousin Buttercup, Tiffany.
This is her favorite, and since it is her birthday today, it's quite appropriate.


.
.
.

It is my grandmothers coffee table
complete with all her grandbabies photos as they grew.
I am not in there, so stop squinting-
(I hadn't done my adoption search for those years).

.
.
And this one is of my 2 Uncles and my Aunt Marlene- (She's the one that sends me all the funnies in my email)!
.
.

 

Aren't they sweet?!?!
Uncle Hector in back,
From left,  my birthfather, Aunt Marlene, and Uncle Chum

(Missing is Uncle Marvin, who hadn't been born yet)

.
.
.
And then a picture of my grandmothers family as she was growing up.
.
.

The Mayotte Family
Yes, she is in there.
No, I do not know which one she is.

But I really think that Master Gabriel will be looking much like my Great Grandfather.

Another of my Grandfather, Louis Menard.

The first night Casey and I were there, I had lay down on the couch.
I couldn't sleep, but I surely had my camera nearby.

Curious, I took the first two with the night vision setting on...

.

.

.

.

.

And then two regular pictures too...

My new friends may not have had the opportunity to read what I had previously written about my belief in the paranormal, or of my Grandma Rose's home; recalling my first trip to The Soo.
Please CLICK HERE for that conversation blog.

Those that knew my grandmother will know how much she loved puzzles, among many other things-  Every time we go there, we always put a puzzle together.  During the course of this trip, Casey put two of her own together...

Yes, I helped find some pieces. (I found at least 3 of them too)!   

.
.
.
.

 

.
.
Greg had bought Casey 10 puzzles for Valentines Day.
These are only two of those puzzles...
.
.
.

 

.
.
.
We had to leave... (God, I really HATE that part).

As we left town, I snapped this picture looking towards Canada.
.
.

 

I think that someone had built a fire to say goodbye with smoke signals.
hehehe

.
.
And it surely rained while we had been there too. The sound of the wind and the rain, thunder etc, were sounds that we had to reacquaint ourselves with.
So nice to hear though.

As we drove west on highway 2, the skies darkened a bit, and we were heading into even more rain.

And a bit of entertainment too...


.
.

The picture represents about 1/3rd of what that family had in their field
AND, it was ALL for sale!

.

hehehe

.
.

.
.

Nearer to Manistique, the clouds became even more evident...
So pretty too!

.
.
Casey was driving as my back was not up for it at all.
I sat in the back with Punk, and this is what we saw out of the windows for the rest of the ride home.
.
.
.

Looking out over the Bay of Green Bay, near Escanaba

.
.
Has anyone read the book, "Truck" by Michael Perry?

This next picture reminded me of that book...
.

?????????

.
.
Am thinking that it's pretty cool to be riding in the backseat in the rain!

And soon we were home!
.
.

.
.
We had even gotten rain here while we were gone!

.
.
?????????

.
.

Punk was not satified by just seeing the rain gauge, and demanded to be the first in the pool...

.
.

 

.
.
And then she demanded more water...

Greg offered to help her out...

.
.

.
.

hehehe

.
.

 

.
.

Casey was hungry for a treat, so she went inside...

.
.

.
.
All joking aside, she is one hell of a good cook!
.

.

 

Fish and Taters!
(Are you hungry yet)?!

.
.
Have a "wunnaful" day!

Love to all

XOXO
