Out of Sorts, On The Road Again, and Baby Sam!

  

Punk.
Taking Casey for a drag...

.
.
Good Morning All;
Thought I should thank everyone for their "wunnaful" birthday wishes!
Even Jenne came down yesterday, no 'good morning' as she came around the corner-
Just "Happy Birthday Mom"    Very cool!

She was up before 4AM, to make sure that Aaron was up and ready to come and drive her back.

• He flew into Milwaukee where Jenne and Isaiah picked him up.

.
.
.

Jenne waving!

She left a bunch of stuff here, saying for me to sell it in the rummage sale- Aaron had to fit his stuff in the little car as well.

.
.
.

Randy stopped here yesterday.

He was working up by his Dads all weekend, but will be here to watch the place while we are gone. (Nice to have a zillion vacation days, eh)? Maybe he can pull a weed or ten thousand.

Gone?
Seems as though everyone is leaving... hehehe

Casey and I will be leaving this morning for Minnesota- She has some testing to be done, and an exam by Dr. Sutherland- (Both for the TP/AIT transplant, and the colon removal).

Her appointment is for 8 tomorrow morning, so unless I care to leave at 3AM tomorrow???
Nah. So I made reservations for tonight...

Punk went to the vet yesterday-
She has been 'tired' for the last 5 days now-

She has all of her energy; just for some very very short spans of time.

The vet checked her over and saw everything was fine.

If it continues I will bring her back in for blood test and maybe an Xray-

(Given the fact that Mama Milly had cancer, this behavior kinda scares me). 

No wait, it scares the hell out of me.

Will include the toxicity tag below so I can go through all the recalls and potential poisons.

She is eating and drinking- (Wait a second, I must feed her. Hang on). hehehe

Ok. (Yup, she IS eating and drinking just fine)!

Now she is full, and has had a rimadyl and her joint meds too- & back to resting.
.
.
.

Took this 2 days ago- She sure is out of sorts.
Not sure how to explain it... Just "not right" for sure.
It occurs to me that makes her fit right in!

.
.
.
We had a full weekend!

As did Baby Sam...

 He turned ONE on the 4th!

.
.
.

1st you have to wait for Daddy to take the picture!

.
.

Then you have to dig in!

.

.
.

Then you have to wonder where it went?!?!

.
.

And then have some watermelon
(washes everything off)! hehehe

.
.
I shall have to get one of Daddy Chucks baby pictures because Sam doesn't look like anyone I know!
His Grandpa Rick, has blue eyes, but not as bright-
Berta's are hazel. Chucks are blue.
At any rate, this grandmother says Baby Sam sure is a doll! Thank you Chuck!

Kelli and Michelle rode over on Friday-

All the way from Michelle's place- (She lives about 9 miles away).

These are 2 of Michelle's horses, she said they needed the exercise!


.
.

Kelli and Leo

.
.
.

Michelle and Spirit

.
.
And then they were off again!
.
.

.
.
Oh I have SO many pictures to show you-
And not enough time as we will leave by 10-

We went to Brandy and Johns place on the 4th too- They have a party every year.
.
.

.
.
*** I took a million pictures there, and still have to upload them all!
(My computersaurus and I are both kinda slow these days)!

*** Sunday found Casey over at Kelli's to give May and Breeze their baths.
(Again, more pictures to upload).

These blogs will follow.
(I promise).
.
.
I had some fun with the full moon...
.
.
.

Through the Black~Eyed~Susans...

.
.
.

Through some weeds...

.
.
And across the west lawn...

West?!? hehehe

.

Oh wait. That is one of JoAnne and Jim's driveway lights.
hehehe

.
.
Through the grasses...
.

Crown of Thorns?
or migraine aura?

.
.
I'd better fly!
Time to motivate...
Hope you are all having a 'wunnaful' week so far!
And that it continues forever!

XOXO
Me

Full Moon amd Freezie Temps

Entry for February 24, 2008

These will be your Christmas trees in years to come!
hehehe

.

.

Good Sun-ny-day Morning to ALL;
It is with GREAT pleasure that I tell you the sun is shining brightly already, and the mercury is even headed for over 30 degrees today!

~Say "YAY"!

.

Another day of these temps and sunshine, and the roads will be much safer too!

.

It has been a long week for me.
Times like these, I feel as though I have somehow lost time- At least a few days with respect to my head.
Am feeling 'nermuller' today though!

Greg and Casey braved the weather, (a record setting low for us that night), to watch the lunar eclipse...

.

As it rose high in the sky...

.

.

.

.

.

And as it turned into a fuzzy giant apricot !!!

???
hehehe

.

.

Not too much other news today...

 I shall try to capitalize on the warmer temps and maybe even get a few loads of linens washed and hung on the line to dry.
What a MOST welcomed smell as I bring them in and make the beds this afternoon!

Miss Milly will be very happy to be able to stay outside tonight!
I will be happy also, not having to listen to her try to whine her way back out...

And maybe Punk won't be sinking quite as deep in the snow as she has for the past (forever).
Or so it seems.

.

.

Yes, I had my snowshoes on.
There is simply no other way to go for a walk right now...
if I wish to remain somewhat dry, that is,
and if I wish to walk anyplace but the yard.

Notice too that there is still another foot or so below where she is trying to stand.

.

.

Hopefully, the next snowstorm that we had been warned about a few days back will track another route instead of dumping another foot of snow on us tomorrow evening.
We shall see...
And while I am sure that all of my friends down Milwaukee way have had enough snow too, my back thanks you all profusely for taking the brunt of this storm away from us up here.

.

Love to all!
Have a great Sunday!!!

XOXO
Anne

Mad at My Windows...

Good Morning All;

Is anyone else having problems with their computer today? I am SO ready to throw the whole thing in the danged river already... Three times now to have gotten the message that 'windows has encountered a problem and must close'...

And then they are all gone!!! Send. Don't send. Doesn't matter, they close and take my pages with them!

Had this problem a while back too, then they came out with a "fix" for it. Guess now they must come out with a fix for their fix! MAD!!!

But back to yesterday. The photo above, yesterday morning while playing ball in the house. hehehe Punk will get her ball, and sit at the top of the steps, then let her ball bounce down the stairs. Whomever is at the bottom must toss it back up. *If one hits the wall directly below Grandpa's portrait, then the ball ricochets into the bedroom where she has to 'find' it.

I was at the bottom yesterday~ Casey had gone up to try to intercept Punks fun. Trying to hit that same wall, (and having to be careful NOT to hit the two 'kids' at the top), I severely undershot my aim. The ball was firmly lodged in the railing until Caseys "bigfoot" loosed it. I think Punk was almost ready to cry...

We took the dogs to the woods. Miss Milly disappeared WITH HER BALL... She came back to us without it. Even Punk went 'in search of' the darned thing. No luck. i will probably find it today because it possibly floated down the river. (Right to where I'll be tossing this danged "compooter" of mine)...

.

.

Out last night to take a few "moon" pictures...

.

..

.

.

.

.

And in this last one, there was no light source, save for the moon above, that would have caused these streaks. Any photographers out there can explain it maybe?

.

.

Clearly the streaks are NOT coming from the moon...

.

.

.

After I had taken those pictures, we had come home and gone back to the woods. I am usually not one to be 'spooked' but last night we did keep our little trip short. Maybe it was just too quiet. There IS such a thing. My friend Connie has a blog about "The Fouke Monster". >CLICK< any of the colored words... I am thinking that maybe it was reading that blog, and seeing those 'shoes' that made me feel uneasy...

Sun is shining brightly for now, but they say we might get a few drops of rain later. It is 54 wonderful degrees right now. Perfect for a bit of transplanting!

Have a wonderful Thursday!
XOXO
Anne

Yesterday... &quot;Anna Gone Missing&quot;...

Good Morning to All;

I am alive...

...And yes, CaseyAnne did bring me in for a hypo. Hence the title DOES make sense!

I remember sitting there, (at the office); waiting, (and waiting some more). Personally, I was just happy to be there, knowing that every minute either brought me closer to relief, or to the barfpan. (CaseyAnne does not see it this way, and absolutely hates to be kept waiting for any reason; whether it's in traffic or at the doctors office).

The doctor came in, only turning on one light (still I felt as though even that little light was trying to kill me too)... After a short conversation, he then ordered my shot.

The nurse came in a little while with 3 injections for me. Holy Mackeral, I knew this was a bad one (as far as migraines go), but 3 needles??? And I didn't care, even when she said, "Yes they are big ones too" And like my 'mouf' as of late, competing with a fullblown migraine, I did not even feel those shots... Barely anyway...

Within about 1/2 an hour I was feeling so much better; and always then I want to dance to celebrate this wonderful return to being painfree! Casey stopped at Best Buy, and I bought a printer, (YAY! and FINALLY), and a few programs for my computer too. (I do have a tendency to spend a few dollars after I get an injection and feel better)...

But of course because of those injections, I remembered NONE of this... We got back home, filled our faces with burgers from the A & W, watched the show, and I promptly fell asleep (read 'coma'), in the La-Z-Boy once more.

I awoke to a note on the table from Casey... She was happy to be looking forward to starting her new job today, and said she hoped my head feels better now. It actually does, but I know it will 'boomerang' once more today, but then by tomorrow I shall be ready for that dance!

Unca BoBBie woke me from my little coma about 7:30... And I remember thinking (as the phone kept ringing) 'why isn't Casey answering that?' But woke quickly enough too, thank goodness. He is in the process of getting a divorce- And at times is happy about it too. Other times it is sad to see too. One of those "Damned if you do, and damned if you don't" divorces. (But always ALWAYS so nice to speak to him too)!!!

Other than losing a day there is not much other news. I do have to be hooking up my new psc, and am probably going to be moving the computer to the front room... Knowing the weather is NOT going to remain so nice. (CAN IT)? And having no heat in this back room, and plenty out there, it makes sense to do this.

Perhaps I shall also begin to un~decorate also; leaving the creche up til the 8th.

This picture below is what I saw when I got up about 3:30. Having left the Punkster out... She was SO good yesterday; (if she bothered me at all I don't remember it, but I do not think she did... just waited patiently for me to wake up)...

The picture of the full moon...

.

.

and hiding behind a trail of vapors from an earlier jet. Wish it would have turned out a little better, but I think it looks pretty cool just the same!

.

.

Jan. 3, 8:57 a.m. EST - "The Full Wolf Moon". ...Amid the zero cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. It was also known as the 'Old Moon', or the "Moon After Yule." In some tribes this was the Full Snow Moon; although most applied that name to the next Moon.

I had better close and try to get caught up a bit here.

Have a grand day!!!

XOXO

"Full Cold Moon"

G-g-g-good M-m-m-morning to All...

The above picture taken from my bedroom window; (which incidentally HAD to be opened to capture the picture)! It is 3 degrees as I write...

But already the sun is risen, and the look of it outside definitely NOT describing the 'feel' of it either... And it IS cold~ That 'bone~shattering' cold that we have all felt at one time or another...

And so, this "Full Cold Moon" has come to its zenith already- The harbinger of winter... (I don't like it already)...

This now, taken from the Calendar of Nativeamericancircle

"During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, & nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the 'Moon before Yule'. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, & because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time."

Still, looking at my own calendar, it is not until the 22nd that "Winter" actually begins...

WHAT!?!?! Now, why do I find that so freakin' funny???

(My toes do not know 'funny'; but sure as they wiggle, they know "COLD").

Besides, I much prefer to think of these 3 measley stupid degrees as 'winter'. Because if I don't, what the heck will "winter" then bring???

And as the sun began to break the horizon, offering no relief from the cold night, I also took this picture-

My cold 2nd driveway in the background as Miss Punk looked up at me, thinking how was I up in that window when I had just let her outside... (I do love to 'cornfoose' my little pup)! hehehe

Oh!! Oops!! Well I see that I have cut her out of this picture. (Sorry about that). Now you'll just have to take my word for it...

I had chance to actually read my horoscope for the week- and it is so funny that I must share with you... Here goes: "

You're like a superhero on Monday and Tuesday. You unzip your everyday clothes to reveal a whole new persona -- maybe not new to you, but new to everyone else. You're a daring person, but you've never had an excuse to step out in quite this way before. Wednesday and Thursday, you're overwhelmed by a sense of double trouble: You want more than one thing simultaneously, or you want to proceed in two opposing directions simultaneously, or perhaps you're simultaneously sad and thrilled about the same thing. It's confusing! Whatever you do on Friday through Sunday, you turn heads." hehehe

YAY! I'm going to be turning heads!!!

...And now for the translation you ask? OK- ...I will be driving into town on snow/ice covered roads, and everybody will have to watch as I drive into the ditch--- in my 'new persona' unzipped clothing!

Howszat?

Having gone back to sleep in the wee hours of the morning here, I find that I am very very late getting a few things done around here, so I must say "Tata for Now"

Have a good one, and do stay warm!

XOXO
Anne

Note to my Canadien "Friends" ...Would you please keep these cold fronts up by you from now on? I would really appreciate that little effort on your part.

And speaking of my Canadien Friends, if any of you ever want to laugh out loud, and forever, please check out Miss Vals page- She is recently moved to North America- Please welcome her in kind!

But be warned too, please do not be drinking anything whilst reading her entries... I guarantee you whatever you are drinking will be coming out of your nose in short order!
