Wednesday ~Notes From Wisconsin!

 

I took this at a rest stop along highway 41

.
.
Good Morning All;
My thoughts keep going back to "Ten Thought Tuesday", but now I'm a day behind.
(Courtesy of that narfy tomato).
hehehe

I have a(nother) doctor appointment this afternoon for my back. Wish it would go away soon.
The ride to/from Rochester did nothing good for it either...
Nor did mowing my lawns, twice over, to get rid of my somewhat jungled and abandoned look.
(I think I might also have gotten rid of a few varmints)... oops
.
.
.
On this special topic,
I have been (ahem), characteristically silent...

.

.......But no more...
.

.

.

As many of you already know, I have already grown quite tired of politicking this year.
Ted Thompson apparently has not.
(I can't quite figure out his silly~@ss thought process either)...
Nor have I been able to figure out exactly what it is that he is so afraid of? (Feel free to clue me in).

Mama always said:
"If you can't be right, be wrong at the top of your voice."
Mama sure was smart.

When applied to Ted Thompson, this seems to be exactly what he has been doing.
In my little book, he IS an unmitigated @sshole.

And so, I have proudly added my name to this list.

Seems the old boy thinks he has a year or two left in him. And since he has been the face of this organization for almost 20 years, he should have another season, and open arms. He already knows he has mine.


I had a prescription to pick up yesterday at CVS.
An uneventful little trip; (um, until I was driving home)...

A bit of background for you...

1st stop, CVS Pharmacy.
(They even handed out a big treat~bone for Punk)!

I object; that's just not fair to me at all. My own tummy is growling, so on to Mickey Dee's for a sandwich.
(Punk gets two treats at the 'pay' window)!! Big ones too!

Knowing that another trip to Mayo will put me over the 3000 mile mark, I stopped to have my oil changed. I spent the whole time (PLUS extra), talking to the nicest man who had seen Casey on TV, and even remembered her!
(This man just kept feeding Punk treats, I have no clue how many she got)...

After that, I had stopped at the Shell Station on the highway to fill 'er up.
And then to go back home...
Kinda boring huh?

Wait for it now...

As I merged onto the highway, there was barely any traffic. There was one pickup truck that must have thought he owned the road. He did not budge from his lane to allow me access. Dork. Naturally I had to slow and let him pass.

As I got up to speed again, he hit his brakes.
WTH?

I see through his rear window that he is flipping me off.
WT"effing"H?!?!?

As he was slowed, I pulled out to pass him; grabbing my camera in the process. (This, for me, is now a completely involuntary action).

As I pass him, he is literally screaming profanities out his window at me.
Punk wastes no time letting him know he was being a dickhead.
And just so you know, I have never seen her snarl and growl before.
(Must have been all those treats)!!!

I called her down. She obeyed, quite begrudgingly-
(But hey, I just had to snap a picture)...
.
.

Awwww...
Isn't he the attractive little dink?
I just smiled, (and real big) at him.
(As his wife turns her head out the side window).
Yes, he was still screaming too!

.
.
It occurs to me that not everybody in Suamico is as nice as I am.


Home again, safe and sound; with a cold burger.
(And a still~paranoid dog too).

Thanking the Lord for my microwave, I ate quickly; and then had to go pull a few weeds.
.
.

Nope, not that weed...

.
.
But I have so many weeds around I don't know where to begin with this all.
So I just pulled the tallest and most obnoxious ones.
hehehe
(Besides, my back will not allow for me to dig out the shorter ones).
Oh well.
'Til it's all healed, there is nothing I can do about that.

When we got back home from Mayo last week, I found the prettiest surprises just waiting for us...
.
.

Please ignore silly toes...

.
.

.
.

.
.

.
.

.

Flowers EVERYWHERE!!!!
(Please don't be looking at my weeds ???) !

.
.
Hope you are all having a 'wunnaful' Wednesday!
.
Love to all!

XOXO

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

I knew something was missing yesterday when I had written this entry...

My Sunday entry shouldn't have complete without some mention of The Green Bay Packers, please visit this brand new site to ask Brett Favre to come back for "One More Year!"

Please CLICK HERE to ask Brett to stick around.

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

Good Sunday Afternoon to All!!!

Shall I start out with "I'm B-a-a-a-a-c-k!" ??? It's ME, and I am in a fine mood even!!!

I have been up since about 2 AM, and will try to nap in a bit... (My danged head is back too, but not too badly)... The Maxalt seems to have worked for now. SO happy about that, but ever so tiring too...

It has been so unseasonably 'wondermous' outside; that today is actually the first day I have been INside for most of the day. Milly is pissed. Punkin is pissed. (But hey, it's Sunday and even I need a bit of a break every now and then)!

We have been working outside for the past few days. (And used such a nice "newfound" pair of clippers to trim a few bushes and trees). hehehe

Punkie helped me immensely, pulling the tangled branches out from where I'd cut...

.

.

Miss Milly, completely unimpressed by this, and preferring just to spectate...

... and smile of course...

.

.

So many trees. So little time; being the addict I am on here! (But this is supposed to be winter, and aren't we supposed to grow lazy and fat)?

Later, we took a walk to the woods... Even Miss Casey had come out yesterday, joining us when we all went back to the river.

.

.

.

Much like this pup had done on New Years Day, Punkie wanted to do nothing but fish...

.

.

Crazy dog...

.

.

That water is probably only half a degree above freezing! Or so...

No luck fishing either; but it is fun to watch her TRY!

And yes, we have finally found out why Miss Milly runs off and disappears too.

Seems as though she has found a bit of *ewwww*, entrails from a deer, and thoroughly enjoys this as a snack... and to roll in too!

Punkie was not really interested. perhaps spoiled in that she does get my leftovers on a regular basis... But honestly I would much prefer her NOT to develop an appetite for these 'things' that can be found on the forest floor...

The buds are coming out on many bushes and trees too. Guess that means they will be sparse when Spring does get here...

But still, pretty to look at.

.

Wonder how confused my little tulips and daffodils will be too; though I have not seen any coming up... yet...

At night we went back out to drag a few of those branches to the burn pile...

.

This little dog being SO very helpful!

.

Yet when she got the branches to the pile, she didn't want to be parting with them! Once piled up though she seemed as satisfied as I was with our days work!

(And yes, she IS working on the smile)!

.

.

I have to go back downtown to the county tax office tomorrow morning. I had sold a few acres. The realtor I had a year and a half ago was supposed to file everything there... (He filed SOMETHING, but I guess it was asking too much to have him do it accurately). Additionally, I have another lot which I own. He left it on there as that is all I own!?! (Hmmm... No damned wonder I am so freaking cold all the time)!

What a first~class DORK. It is SO screwed up!! Wish there was a decent attorney in this town that was not tied in to all of the danged realtors in some way shape or form. Suffice it to say I kinda got screwed... The realtor was to have it all fixed last March and it is still all messed up. I really think I should storm this guys office... but I won't; (well unless the county office can do nothing without the realtor)... Oh he was/IS a skunk!

Speaking of skunks... Odd that I haven't had any around... I honestly have not smelled one close in a couple of years, and out here, that is really strange. I wonder what enemy a skunk really has? Anybody know?

I also have to stop at the Suamico Village Office and get a burn permit for this year. There is so much that needs burning in that pile, and as long as it isn't froze, I can torch it and still have the hose out. (I am such a wimp when it comes to fire)...

Jennifer sent a few pictures of my Little Man Isaiah... I haven't seen him in over a month of forever now, and he seems to have changed so much already. Here he is helping out at the ranch! (I think he likes the horses, dogs, and chickens too)!

He looks so tired on his "trattor" But still such a cutie!!!

.

.

I'd better close and go 'try~on' that nap!

Hope you are all enjoying your weekends!!!

XOXO
Anne
