Photos of Our Flintville Flurries!!! *02-26-07*

To look out the west window of the living room; right at daybreak...

.

.

.

Looking out the east window of the LR a little later... (Where's the SUN)???

.

.

.

.

.

Opening the garage door... Looking westward....

.

.

.

.

.

Looking toward the then~unplowed road...

.

.

.

.

.

And to chance to peek in the corner!

.

.

.

.

.

The Yews are heavy with white!

.

.

.

.

.

...as is the little wren house outside my kitchen window...

.

.

.

.

.

even more decorated were the old wagon wheel drums...

.

.

.

.

.

Milly outside, to have to bunny hop over the drifts, (and to return to the door in record time)!

.

.

.

.

.

Punk says "It is very deep out here!"

.

.

.

.

.

"ARF"... "Dang! It's not here" ..."I'll NEVER find my stick now!"

.

.

.

.

.

"It's not over here EITHER!"

.

.

.

.

.

Milly says, "It's not here either!"

.

.

.

.

.

(And so it was time for them to ask for help)!

.

.

.

.

.

Time to call out the BIG GUNS!!!

.

.

.

.

.

"OK, I will help, but where's the darned shovel anyway?"

.

.

.

.

.

.

"um... Yeah, RIGHT... THAT ain't gonna happen! "

"VEWY FUNNY!"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"I think I need a break now.... D'Ya mind if I sit here?"

Get bigger guns Grandma...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Berta! What happened to your knees???"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"If I hide behind the dog, Mom won't ever find me, and I won't have to shovel..."

.

.

.

"Oh for Petes sake, Mom! You need BIGGER guns yet!

.

.

.

Yay Mom...

.

.

.

.

"dig a tunnel; dig, DIG a tunnel"...

.

.

.

.

.

Yup... .....(What a little wimp )!

Need something stronger still...

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Oh~n~Yeah, Baby!"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Go Mom GO!"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

(And it even worked... 'til I lost a chain... SOMEWHERE anyway)...

.

.

.

.

.

So yeah, anybody got any BIGGER GUNS ???

.

.

.

.

.

.

A little Choco~Coffee, and a Karaoke break too... (sing along with me now)...

..

.

.

"HANG ON, HELP IS ON THE WAY!!! ...I'LL BE THERE AS FAST AS I CAN!"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Ooooooh Baby!!!!!

(Now, THAT'S more like it)!!!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"I'll just *SUPERVISE* from this safe place here, OK?"

"Looks like everything is under control!... (Well, except for that darned DOG)!"

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"STAY!" .... (Both of you)! ~hehehe

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Berta digs her car out!!!

.

.

.

.

.

.

And THREE hours later, it is time to go back inside!

.

.

.

.

.

.

Did we miss anything????

.

.

.

More coffee anyone? (How about a hot shower)???

.

.

.

.

.

Roberta took many pictures inbetween all her own shoveling and continuous clearing of the concrete... You will have to check her blog, (if you haven't already)...

Master Gabriel came indoors yesterday, took his snowsuit off, and headed straight up the steps for his nap... He was toasty warm... (and dry too, even with sitting in all that snow)!

I decided that life was real boring, and can you say "@ss over teakettles"?

...Almost funny. No, actually it was... (for everyone but me)! hehehe

I hope everyone is dug out, safe and warm... for now anyway...

Looking outside, there is about 4+ MORE inches on the ground and it is still coming down. Schools around here have all opened on time; although nearer the lakeshore they have had a 2 hour delay. Only a handful have chosen to close completely.

My weather radio has told me that we are to have about 4 MORE inches yet today yet...

Do you remember the before picture of the side of the house???

.

.

.

.

.

.

Now below is how it looked yesterday...

.

And yes, I will go out and snap another picture yet this morning!

.

.

.

Well, just as soon as I feel like it!!! hehehe...

.

*sigh*

Oh my aching ____________ !

(Please feel free to fill in the blank for me)!

Rats, and Other "Weathered" Things...

This, just in! Pulaski HS Musical Postponed; Until March 1

Good Morning All...

Are you sufficiently snowed in (and "chili"), are you basking in warmth; OR, are you cleaning up after yesterdays terrible storms? As many of you know, I DO hate thunderstorms... (they scare the bejeezus out of me), and so I feel awful for those of you that have taken quite the pounding from Mother Natures fury... I pray that you are safe...

My little forecast this morning; pretty much like yesterdays... SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING. TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 10 TO 16 INCHES ARE ANTICIPATED BY THE TIME THE SNOW DIMINISHES LATE TONIGHT. GUSTY EAST WINDS WILL PRODUCE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AT TIMES.

The above picture was taken a few days ago. It was so nice out~ "warm" if you will~ and I had raked a bit and put some straw down. I tried to remove all the tangled 'leftovers' from between the rocks and the house. (Never really succeeding, but 'getting there' anyway)... Yesterday, when I had returned home, this is what it had started to look like...

.

.

.

It had just begun as a bit of "sneet", and then quickly changed to flurries...

.

.

.

.

Weird that some of my "sneet" was actually rectangular!?

Look closely at that... I have never seen that before...

.

.

I had taken my comingled recyclables to the Village yesterday morning, not wanting to hang onto all of those things til next week friday. And that darned recycling center had MOVED! Found the new place; and dropped off my three bags of recyclables. I keep these bags, when full, out in the pumphouse until I bring them in to the center...

...Out there, I have the water pump and the 10 foot pit covered with wood, and with insulation over that. I have the warming light hanging down in there to keep my H2O from freezing up, (although it has not been cold enough lately to freeze, it is just a precaution)... So imagine, as I opened the old milkhouse door, to see this sight...

.

.

My well~placed insulation strewn about and quite literally destroyed...

.

.

As I stood there, still absorbing what I'd seen, two critters emerged from that insulation....

.

.

Ugly personified... (I should dare to say "Fugly")?

Black ratzzzz....

www.breedingcentresharja.../Rodents.htm

.

.

But I KNOW what to do for them...

hehehe... (They are now well~fed vermin of the RAT species)!

.

.

Isn't it funny how seeing a mouse will make me jump a little; they startle me, but I am NOT afraid of them. But seeing a rat is so revolting and disgusting to me. And being that this was the closest I have ever come to these putrid excuses for vermin, seeing them scurry actually paralyzed me... & all I could do was whimper, but not move... 'Til they climbed up the wall and disappeared overhead...

Miss Punk had been playing up by the house (75 yards away), and somehow had heard those strangled sounds from me...

.

.

Dropping her stick, she came running to me... I remain HIGHLY impressed by her!

(Needless to say, I took this picture well AFTER everything had moved; including my legs)...

.

.

Even though those contractors bags are clear, I kicked those bags before I dared to even touch them; (and am thinking it a good thing that I had gloves on too). Oh how completely disgusting to me. (And I do realize that some of you must keep these "things" as pets~ I dutifully apologize; for me there is nothing more entirely creepy in this whole world)... enough of this for now though...

.

.

Even my mangled backyard is looking a little prettier with a bit of snow on it. (hehehe)

.

.

But those pics were all taken yesterday... BEFORE...

The heaviest snow started to fly around midnight; (and it still is coming down BIGTIME). It is predicted to do so through the whole day and evening too. Almost all churches have cancelled services for today; some as early as yesterday afternoon. Guess nobody is going anywhere, it would be "STOOPID" to even try! I have seen NO traffic out here, (not even a snowplow), since I have been up. (And I am thinking that my Sunday Green Bay Press Gazette is not out in that box either)... No, I will NOT be running out there to check on it either! hehehe

I have taken a few pictures already this morning... The snow is quite beautiful even as it continues to come down~ and at times it flies straight across my yard...

.

.

'

4 A.M. ~The screen door that opens only far enough to allow a dog to get through! (Miss Milly needs a 'push', though Miss Punk just jumps right out)!!!

.

.

4 A.M. ~My Brave Little Punkin, Out in the Storm~

.

.

I have more pics to get into this machine now. I spent almost all day yesterday getting my computer to function better than the snails pace it had been crawling at... I sometimes HATE these things, and am always afraid I will not figure out what is wrong. Yet, somehow I always do, (I thank the Lord for small, and modern, miracles)...

I shall post another blog later and let you all see what is happening in my little corner of the Arctic Circle!

Yes, Roberta and Master Gabriel are warm, safe, and asleep, upstairs.

'Til then stay safe and warm!

Batten The Hatches!

Good Morning Everyone!

It is snowing a little bit, (and much less than I had expected to see too).

.

.

just a little bit of snow on one of the dogs toys...

.

.

As I was checking on the weather, this has just been brought to my attention from my Stormcenter 2 Personal Forecast page...

"THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT."

And I was SO very intrigued by that! YAY! They must have changed their minds again!

...Coming back inside about an hour ago, (after taking "The~Whinebag~Mildred~Dog" back out to her kennel), my NOAA Weather Radio had been blasting to the high heavens... And scaring the dickens out of Miss Punk I might add, (who HAD been fast asleep on the couch when I had gone outside moments earlier)...

But after that split~second of relief, the Stormcenter then added the following statement... In effect now is a WINTER STORM WARNING... SNOW WILL TAPER OFF EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS OF AN INCH EXPECTED. LOOK FOR A BREAK IN THE SNOWFALL FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY WITH HEAVY SNOW AND GUSTY EAST WINDS OF 15 TO 30 MPH EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER THIS EVENING. THE STRONG EAST WINDS WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW...WITH NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. TOTAL SNOWFALL OF 8 TO 12 INCHES IS EXPECTED BY SUNDAY EVENING.

A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE."

Well, ain't that just hunky-dory???!!!

And I did finally get the chains for my Cub Cadet... (the box was MINUS the linkie~thingies though).

.

.

.

Berta, dealing with "The Missing Link!" hehehe

.

.

.

And so, we had gotten them on, and at least TRIED to secure them... Then to take it for a 'test drive'...

...Pretty darned comical, that. (I hadn't even gotten OUT of the old garage by the time those chains came off)! We did get a good laugh out of it though... We were frozen already for the Pete Sakes, (and to have cried over it would have only freeze~dried any tears to our faces)...

So we tried a different way, but then neither of us had the strength in our hands to tighten it right. Derek and Casey had come to visit later, and had gone out to take a look. (I was already asleep; having gotten up a little after midnight yesterday). A note on the table when I awoke said if it didn't work just to call over to Dereks and that he has some stuff that will make them work fine.

(Thank you Derek)!

It is still a bit upsetting because all the pieces SHOULD HAVE been there in the first place... Those chains were NOT cheap~ probably because they came from the Peerless Chain Company. (Gee, does that mean that nothing is too expensive for my little Cub Cadet)! hehehe Hey, it's a Princess Snowplow!

Anyway, I DO love to awaken to those notes! (And yes, I can appreciate them even now when I am so b**chy). I awoke with a nasty head once more, but it seems to be a bit better right now... (knock on wood please)... As you well know, I do not even like me like this...

So, it was perfect also to wake up to a note from one of my 'sales' in one of my groups. I have had some siding laying around here. And had put it up for sale last month. I listed it as "For Sale" and included "Best Offer". I had also noted that whomever wanted it that they should come with a trailer to accomodate all of the long pieces. Long story short, the guy that ultimately wanted it, came without a trailer, filled up the back of his truck with some of the shorter pieces, said he would be back in the next few days, and off he went. (This was well over a month ago). I have tried repeatedly to contact him, to no avail and no reply; and so I simply listed it over again. (I also added that "For Sale" and "Best Offer" deos not mean FREE)! hehehe... Even a plug wooden nickel would have helped out a bit, ya know?

But in relisting it, the rat has come out of his hole, and has taken offense to what I had written... (Too bad, so sad)... He had emailed me last month, saying that HE thought it was free, (and honestly kids, if I am going to argue about it, then THAT would make me pretty pathetic, so I told him it was no big deal). He repeated that he would be here "in the next few days" then to get the rest, that he needed to borrow a trailer. (I am thinking that none of his friends trust him anymore either to even borrow him a trailer)... So after my latest listing, this rat reappears, and then dares to take offense?

Win some; lose some... (In all reality, I could care whether he ever sends me that wooden nickel or not, because I do not have to look at his face in the mirror every morning). I've got my own to worry about.

(And now it is official, my own "Whine~Session" has now come to an end)...

Besides, I am thinking that it is much MORE important for me to ignore that mirror and to keep an eye 'outside' for the next few days. (I swear that I am cold to my bones just thinking about it). Time for soup and many, many crackers! ...And time to crank up the heat a notch or two, and to make sure that everyone I know and love is safe and secure throughout.

We will have enough time too, to be making a few necessary potholders, (if you were wondering what the picture at the top is all about)!

I also have to get tons of rummage stuff into the house and get everything marked and tagged. So, yes, we WILL have enough to keep us busy for quite a while!

Stay warm, and have a "wunnaful" weekend, whereever you might be!

XOXO

The Friday Flintville Fuel Flats?

Happy Friday to ALL!

Oh boy, Oh Boy, OH BOY!; are we ever gonna get it!

Weather people here are now saying 8~12 INCHES of new snow by Monday. We might get a few flakes today, and then to start slowly Saturday night, and get completely DUMPED ON on Sunday/Monday... (Or so they say at this point now)!

I have been 'up' since a little after midnight... Punkie has been restless too... But we found a pretty cool website that tells us how many people in the Good Old U.S. of A. that a person shares a name with... Nobody with MY name... How about you?

.

.

HowManyOfMe.com

There are: 0 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

.

.

As you all know, we have had reasonably mild weather for the past few days; and even if it is warmer outside, my furnace still needs to have a refill of heating oil every now and then... (Yesterday was that "every now and then" for my tank). Perhaps planning ahead, calling Alan Olson and then him thinking it best to get the tanker in the yard while it is still accessible. I couldn't have agreed more... (Who knows, with that storm coming when I will have a clean driveway and yard once again)? His dad and mine were really good friends, and so it is good to do business with someone you 'know' and can count on too. When Pa went from coal to oil, of course it was Mr. Olson that filled this tank. They are "good people" in my book... And many times, they have 'carried me' a bit so we could eat, and still be warm in winter! There aren't too many good companies left like that...

Anyway, they came and delivered the oil while I was in the shower... After I had gotten dressed, I needed to take fresh water out to Miss Milly. Walking out to the kennel; Punk, who usually is on my heels, (or otherwise directly underfoot and trying to get entangled in my feet), suddenly disappears on me. I figured she had to go pee~poo and/or doo~doo, or find her throw stick, so I didn't pay her any attention...

.

.

Punkie seems to have found her stick!

.

.

.

After getting the kennel stuff done, I turned around, and saw Punk at the bottom of the hill in the backyard... Just looking, as if saying, "HUH?!?!"...

.

.

.

HUH? ~WHAT the heck HAPPENED here????~

.

.

.

.

Imagine my surprise to have her trot on over and start to check out my backyard...

.

.

.

.

.

.

YOKES!!! (The oilman had sidled that truck right down my hill)!

.

.

I did call back to Olsons... hehehe ~My regular delivery man answered, and no, 'himself' had not been here- (He KNOWS where to park, and it's NOT on my lawn)... But he did say they would be here come Springtime to fill, level, and reseed it for me... (He also said the driver had already informed him that I would be calling)! still~hehehe~ing...

Anyway, over the next few days, I will probably be shoveling/plowing more than a few times... (This procrastinator still has not gotten chains for the plow tires)... It's Punk's fault actually. (I'm not sure exactly HOW it might be Punkies fault, but since she lives with me and I cannot possibly blame myself, then it has to be HER fault)! Punkin, after all, also has access to the darned phones too, and never did order those chains for me...

...(S'cuse me, I must go polish my halo for a minute)...

.

.

.

...Ok, I am back! ... (It's pretty shiny already so it didn't take me too long)!

.

.

.

...Berta stopped out yesterday, and I do believe I almost fell asleep on her... But she did get a new blog posted, so that is a good thing! (She so needs to get a computer as she is quickly becoming addicted to her friends in her own 360 World)! And she is loving every minute on here too!

.

.

.

I took this picture on Wednesday- I happen to like it, as she is looking almost directly into the sun... She says she looks mad, (but since I personally know that this is NOT the same 'face' she has when she is mad, I shall post it anyway)...

.

.

I think it's cute! And her hazel eyes are perfect in the sun!

.

.

.

I have to go in for some blood tests this morning, so I'd better go get my backside in the shower. Nippy outside too... Dragging my dumpster down the driveway and back again after that truck came was more than a bit chilly. But it is not as windy as yesterday, so it could easily have been much worse.

I hate going to the doctor in the wintertime... (My clothes always weigh so much more... It's depressing for Petes sakes)! ~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I shall be safely ensconced here with Berta and Gabriel tomorrow night and Sunday; (and am thinking probably for a good part of Monday too)! AND, she should be going back to work next week... (I am not too sure where Casey will choose to be "snowed~in", maybe she will be here too)!

Load up your shotguns my friends, just so one of you can take care of THAT LYING GROUNDHOG! (It is way too evident that Old Man Winter isn't done with us yet)! hehehe

Those of you in the Midwest, bundle up, (and bungle up too)!

...And those of you that live away from here, (especially Connie the Braggart), please do not be telling me how nice it is by you... ~~~~OK, "jess keeding" as my Little Miss Valerie would say!!!

Have a good one! (And NOTE please, if you leave RIGHT NOW, you can get here before the snow flies, and just in time to help shovel)!

XOXO

Puppy Paws and The Banshee Unleashed!

Good Morning All...

EXPECT WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND 45 MPH THROUGH THIS MORNING. A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 MPH OR GREATER...OR WIND GUSTS OF 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE EXTRA CAUTION.

To have looked at my forecast after coming on the computer, (and after 'hearing' what was going on outside), I see that my trip to the store will be under the yellow caution flag... hehehe I shall take the backroads and avoid any empty semis! But I do love to hear the wind on the old tin roof above my head in the bedroom. I don't know why that is so comforting; guess because I have heard it for almost my whole life! And no, the roof is not going to fly off anytime soon; it just has a whip~ripple sound when it is windy...

I also have heard on the news that my little corner of the world might possibly be "IN FOR" a major storm this weekend... Cowards that the weathermen are up here, not one channel is telling us what, exactly, WILL happen. I have heard anything from snow and rain and sleet, to BLIZZARD... Hmmmm.... (Blizzards?... me no likey)!

Yesterday though was absolutely BEAUTIMOUS! Casey and Roberta came for lunch, (and even brought their own)... Casey had to get back to school, and Berta had errands to run. When Roberta stopped back, we went out to 'play' in the sunshine, (mid 40's in February? Happily now, we'll take it)!

For some odd strange reason, it also makes the dogs very happy too! (Well, for the most part anyway)...

.

.

.........

'til Punkies paws get a bit cold... from digging in the ice from the laundry discharge...

But that was all AFTER they had SO much fun!

.

.

.

.

.....................

Miss Milly Smiling......................................Miss Punk, watching her toy

.

.

.

.................

Milly thieves Punkies toy...........................Berta thieves it back from Milly

.

.

.

Enough fighting over the squeak burger, and out comes the "fetch" toy...

.

.

Milly gets bored real fast; but Punkie's hanging in there!!!

.

.

and then on to Punks most favorite game...

.

.

Punk, gets her Frisbee ~and checks on Miss Mama Milly too...

.

.

Punks old frisbee, which she loves...lasted all of 5 minutes... tops. (I had buried it in a snowbank about a month ago and couldn't find it until some snow had melted)...

Now I feel so bad for her. (No, they don't sell Frisbees in Wisconsin in the wintertime).

.

.

.

Poor little Punkin.... No more Frisbee... So sad...

.

.

.

Time to find other toys then. Open the garage door, and it was time for (KC's) volleyball!

.

.

.

Waiting for the ball to drop!

And yes, Miss Punk hits it with her collarbone to send it back to Berta!

.

.

.

............

The volleyball dog!!! ..............................OH!; and Berta too!

.

.

.

Sometimes her "aim" is a little off... hehehe ~~And they both have to walk in the mud to 'fetch' that wayward volleyball; but I do think Punk could play for hours...

.

.

The look of UTTER JOY on Miss Punks face is priceless; even IF her 'aim' isn't the best!

.

.

.

Checking inside the house every few minutes to see if we would hear Master Gabriel, up from his nap, I'd gone in for something... and he was banshee screaming to high heaven! You can CLICK HERE to check Roberta's blog as to WHY he was so very upset... But as always, Grandma can find $omething to distract him for a little bit...

.

.

Yup; $20.00 bills will put a smile on anyones face!

.

.

.

Sorry that my flash didn't go off for that picture... I tried to make it a little less 'grainier' and failed; (but in my own defense, it was almost black when I'd begun)!

...And yes, babies must wear jackets and hats outside, even IF it is in the 40's... (We big babies don't though; it's way too nice for that).

Now, on to the real important stuff here...

***I get in a bit of a quandary at times, not knowing who has an OPEN blog; and whose might be private and closed. Every now and then I wish to share things that you have written and that I have read etc, but I hesitate to do so because I do not know your status. (Perhaps there is a way for me to "tell", but if there is, I do not know what it is). Would you please hit the comment button and let me know if yours is open or private. I would really appreciate knowing, because then I know if I can link to your page or not.

I'd better close, but not before a final thought for the day!

.

.

.

hehehe (And oops, I have forgotten where I've stolen it from too)...

.

.

.

Have a wondermous day!!!

Happy 6th Birthday Miss Valerie Shayne

Happy Birthday To You!
Happy Birthday To You!
Happy Birthday, Miss Valerie!
Happy Birthday To You!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good Morning All...

I had taken this picture of my Little Miss Valerie just before we had left to go up to Sault Ste. Marie last August... Her Dad had dropped her off; and, as you can tell, it was very warm and 'green' outside! (And Punkie was LOTS smaller too)!!!

I have been trying to catch up with a few of your blogs; (and am failing miserably at it).

As they say, "The hurrieder I go, The behinder I get!"

...But with the weather being so mild I have to get outside also. It is "in my blood" to do so... These next few days will bring on a terrible "Spring Fever" for me too, with temps in the 30's and maybe even a few 40's!!!

Spent a few hours on Sunday back in the woods. Greg was there, burning the old skunky wood and stuff; I brought the coffee, (and the Punk), back there.

Their dog, "Reggie", (a beautiful, fully~energized black poodle), loves to play in the woods as well, although until Sunday, these two dogs had not met each other...

.

.

.

Miss Punk and Mister Reggie... "Pleased to Meet You!"

Hmmmph...

.

.

.

We were SO very entertained by their antics...

.

.

.

.............

.

.

.

Running around the tractor, and then abrubtly changing directions on each other...

You just KNEW that sooner or later, there would be a major collision of sorts...

.

.

.

...And there WAS!!! hehehe

.

.

.

Just so much fun to watch them play...

.

.

And Miss Punk had to go check out a few of her favorite spots too...

.

.

.

***Milly stayed up at the house; and is still wanting to be a house dog, but only on her own terms... She comes in at night, but still wants to be out in the sunshine come morning! ...As always, she reserves the right to change her mind; (yeah, but so do I)!

.

.

And now, with the final verdict in on my Italian Spaghetti meal the other night... Yes, we serve veggies with it! And yes, you should all try it!

I have not yet killed anyone with my cooking... Even Casey and Derek lived through it!

Casey and Derek...

SO cute, aren't they?

Derek has his own 360 page...

and has written a wonderful blog about Casey!

CLICK HERE for his amazing blog entry!

.

.

While cruising through some of your blogs yesterday, I came across one from Sophie's page with a link to another page. A 360 Neighborhood Watch idea.

Being the ignoramus I am, I do not know how people 'steal' stuff on here, but just to keep us all wary of what can/does go on in this 360 World! CLICK HERE Thought it was neat... She just asks everyone to keep a watchful eye out...

.

.

Her poster- (This picture is to be shared).

.

.

And so I must close for today as I have a house to "find" ...and then perhaps some laundry and sewing to do also...

I hope everyone is having a grand Tuesday! (What happened to Monday anyway)?

XOXO
