[My] Life in Wisconsin

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"THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT."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

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!!!

XOXO

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
Anne

Bursting Bubbles ...and "Getting Caught"

Good Morning One and All;

I went up to bed last night after a splendid repast of Italian Spaghetti and Veggies too.

.

.

.

Hopefully this picture of our dinner looks almost as good as it tasted.
(If I do say so myself)!
.
.
.
.

Going up to bed, I had a full house... Noisy yes, but absolutely LOVELY to hear every now and then too... Waking shortly before one, there was complete and utter silence. And after so much laughter, it was hard to adjust... (like for the first 4 and a half seconds anyway)! hehehe

Joe had stopped by- A bit flaming, but makes his own clothing, and has an undeniable great sense of humor too!

(Besides any person that has "sew" much to offer with a needle and thread is more than quite alright in my book)!

.

.

.

.

Such a card he is as " The Nanny "... (Mrs. Doubtfire)!?!?
...yes, he made it himself!
.
.
.

Kelli had stopped by earlier.

A monumental birthday for her... And I will not mention ANY numbers, (suffice it to say it has something to do with the "half~century" mark)!

Look what happened when somebody mentioned a NUMBER!!!

.

.

.

Ya don't mess with the best...
The other guy looks worse!

.

.

.

Here she is with Berta yesterday...

.

.

.

(And no, she does not read this blog, so I will not have to blacken her other eye when she comes to beat me up for 'telling')!

Oh we DO have so much fun! She needed a bit of help with the horses last night; and had I not been cooking for a houseful I would have gladly helped her out. They were all going to Victorias Restaurant in Bay Settlement last night; so she was working on a deadline. Hope they got to celebrate in style!

The 17th is also my Little Lawrences Birthday- he turned 7.

And I feel badly that we could not make it down there this year, but yes, we shall go when we can- (as Mother Nature and schedules will allow)... We called down to Prattville last night during supper... And all sang "Happy Birthday" to the answering machine! Imagine they too, were out celebrating. (And my guess would be that they were at Chinese for dinner)!

And now down to the bursting of the bubbles...

At one point last night, I had mentioned something of a sexual nature. (No, it was NOT at the table)...

...But my remark was met with the same old hogwash that most children offer their parents... "Nobody wants to think of their mother having sex!"

(Boy, oh boy, oh boy, have I got news)!!!

...But, as not to incite any confusion over my 'pasgetti dinner, I calmy told Miss Casey to settle down, and that YES, I did have sex in my life- (like it or not), but added that it was only 4 times... (Namely Zoe, Jenne, Roberta and herself).

Tightwad that CaseyAnne can be, she bought NONE of it either....

.

.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uh~Oh...
Do I feel? ...
Do I really feel a "story" coming on???
Um...
YUP!
hehehe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.
.
.

...When we were little, Mom and Dad took a nap each and every day. (How weird is THAT)???

Mary and I, (at about 5 and 7), were WAY TOO BIG for naps; so once we had grown out of them, we were always told to go outside and play... (so we wouldn't wake them up?)!

... Or so we thought...

One day, this really exciting thing had happened and I had come running to the house. I went up the stairs quietly as I could because I had something to tell them BUT I did not want to be waking them up either... And it was so VERY IMPORTANT too...

(Besides, Mary had told me to listen to if they were snoring or not). So I did. Hearing nothing outside their bedroom door, I opened it up; (and wanted to make sure they were awake so I could tell them the very important thing)!

BIG HUGE FREAKIN' MISTAKE ON MY PART! (I do remember thinking that it was a very strange way to take a nap though).

...But before I could utter one sound, or even make one teeny tiny word come out, I had BOTH Mom and Dad yelling at me; and telling me to "Go Away!"

What???

What the heck???

I had something to say, and doggone it, I was gonna say it...

...So, (completely ignorant of what had just happened), I opened my mouth a second time to speak...

That was my FIFTH, (and final), MISTAKE!!! (The first was coming in, 2nd was sneaking up the stairs, 3rd opening their door, and the 4th was trying to speak the first time)...

FIVE mistakes in just about as many seconds! Can ya believe it?

This was not going well for me at all. So it finally sinks in that what they were telling me was to go back outside right that very minute.

And so I did. ~And I do remember telling Mary that if we were wrestling around like that while WE were supposed to be napping that we would be in BIG trouble. She agreed.

...And the entire incident then left my mind for about the next 10~20 years or so... (as did the reason I had big news and all in the first place; that, I never did recall).

hehehe

At one point, so much later, I realized what the heck had happened all those years ago... I called Mom posthaste and told her of my own little revelation! She remembered it well! (Ya think)? And we had such a good laugh over it then!

Perhaps it was this, my own experience, or maybe just the way I am that makes me laugh about these kinds of things... But I can tell you that I have NO problem thinking of my parents in bed or having sex or whatever...

To me it makes them that much more human; and that much more happy together.

So yes kids, I've got news!!!!!

Your parents did have sex... and they probably STILL are if they are still alive.

you don't have to picture it for Petes sakes. You just have to accept it.

Deal with it.
...And be happy for them.

(But DO make as much noise as possible if you are going to surprise them with any kind of BIG NEWS)!!!

Later, was Mom embarassed when I had called her about my little epiphany? Absolutely not!

She really did think it funny! (That laughter of course, being hindsight, because they sure as heck were NOT laughing THAT day)! hehehe

And so, having been on both sides of that proverbial bedroom door in my life, I can honestly say that it is NOT funny when it happens; but in retrospect it is FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!!!

And so these are my smiles for today!

Hmmmm... .... Does anybody have anything to add???

XOXO
Anna~Anna

Brunch and "Linner"...

Really, REALLY late this morning...

Good Morning ALL;

And first to let you know that I missed y'all yesterday; having gone in for a shot for my head once more... Berta was good enough to bring me in. And Gabriel was just a perfect angel too; not screaming too loudly at any point... (Unless it was AFTER my shot, and then I think perhaps my memory fades and 'clouds~up' a bit). To be expected. And yes, my head IS better today, although I really do think my brain is bruised on the inside too.

~"Faith is being sure of what we Hope for and certain of that which we do not see." Heb. 11.1" ~

I vaguely remember Berta telling me they were leaving; going home. (But no conception of what time she told me that either)...

And another vague memory is that instead of tomorrow night, I will make dinner tonight then for everyone that cares to join us. A wiser scenario for Casey as she goes to classes early on Monday morning. But, I am thinking that this will be the only week to be able to do so because Roberta will be going back to work shortly (I think), and she works on Saturday evenings. So after this weekend, will do an early "linner" on Sundays then, 4~ish, so all will be OK with that.

Roberta should be alright at home now too. She has had her life, her energy, AND her sense of humor restored... What more is there? I shall miss them, but know that it was getting to be a bit 'long' for Master Gabriels world to be so upset and uprooted too. Missing them both already... But I really don't think that I am capable of missing those blood~curdling squeals, (which, oddly enough, he only did within earshot of his Mama). hehehe

I'd sent Berta to BK a few days ago... While she was gone, he didn't scream once... But he did rearrange my couch, and he did 'speak' to Casey too! (at least that's what came through on these pictures I'd taken)...

.

.

.

.

"Auntie Casey, are you REALLY asleep?" ...
"Cuz I want you to tell me a story about when you were young."

.

.

.

.

"Oh, that was a good story, KC, please tell me another!"

.

.

.

.

Aren't they darling?

Master Gabriel and his "Auntie" are so very close. A very good thing for them both!

My dogs are both relatively quiet for the moment, but I am sure (surely as our temps are sneaking upwards), that they will be demanding a venture to the woods to see what other trouble they can get into... besides what they have already done here. Please CLICK HERE should you desire to know what they have already done to deal with their own boredom!

Fast forward now, to the woods today... Miss Milly will inevitably run off in her own direction, and Punk will have to sniff out every new thing she might come across...

.

.

.

...Like the deer apples in the pines... (YUMMY)?!?!?!?
.
.
.
And she will also try to pull the old cornstalks out by the roots...
.
.
.

Time for me to fly! And high time for me to go raid my icebox, and see what magic I can create from its contents!

I hope you are ALL having a 'wunnaful' weekend!

XOXO
Anne
