"Enough Already"

Okay, enough already! To further enlighten you I will explain. Yesterday, I went to get a follow-up X-ray from the pneumonia and when the "young" lady came to take me in for the film she looked at my hospital bracelet then at me and asked, "When is your birthdate?" I replied, "September 28, 1939" She looked at me when an astonished look on her face and said, "1939, wow you don't look that" when she realized mouth was engaged, she clasp her hand on her mouth. I finished her sentence, "that old?" Her face was beet red and the guy taking the film and I were both just cracking up.

Next, gerbeans called to check to see if I was home so they could come for a visit. When they got here, Ger handed me a sack with a beautiful t-shirt in it. The only drawback was what the t-shirt had written on it. "Lost Marbles" I guess I must evaluate this situation for deeper meaning lol.

Confession time: Casper does not like our new addition, Frosty. He is very depressed and won't eat. Frosty is a precious rambunctious little ball of energy!!! However, we are ALL going to be relieved when his new adoptive family is selected. This has been a very enlightening experience for all of us. First to see Casper's reaction and next to remind us of how much time and energy it takes to take care of a lively puppy.

If you haven't visited Sonic's Oven, it is worth the time.

Have a wonderful day and weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Spring, it is a comin"

We were blessed with such a beautiful weekend. The trees are all budding out and the weather is so wonderful. The Alien worked in the yard getting the first mowing and clean up started. Today, after work, we went to the garden center and picked up geraniums and a hanging basket of petunias. The spring fever is hitting and believe it or not, I actually feel like participating in the sprucing up (on a limited basis).

We are totally enjoying our new addition. Frosty has such a delightful personality that he keeps us laughing most of the time. He loves to be rocked so hopefully when he is adopted, his new family will rock him to sleep (you think?)

Our Cub is taking horse back riding lessons. She goes every other week. Hopefully, this will be a good outlet for her. She tired of the guitar lessons quickly.

Thanks for the visit!!

Newest Family Addition

Last Sunday, we traveled to Oklahoma City and picked up our very first "foster" westie. He is about seven weeks old and came from a puppy mill which is not a good environment! He is doing real well here and seems to be adjusting quickly. He is very spirited and drives Casper nuts. He literally runs circles around Casper and nips at him. His favorite thing to chew on is my foot! It will be real nice when he begins to sleep all night. It usually takes one to two trips outside in the wee hours. We have him in a playpen in the dining room for sleeping. He is available for adoption unless we decide to keep him (don't tell George).

Oh by the way, I am doing really well. Can even talk (if I don't do much giggling) without too much coughing. Checkup again next week so don't anticipate any problems. Just don't have time for this sickly business.

Will visit more later. Bye all

"I Plead Guility"

The Coach

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? And what the word team means?" The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

"And do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together, as a team?" The little boy nodded. "So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a pecker-head. Do you understand all that?" Once again the little boy nodded.

He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach a 'dumb ass' is it?" Again the little boy nodded.

"Good," said the coach. "Now you go on over there and explain all that to your "Grandmother".
