I just saw the cutest and funniest thing from a link on Celine's journal....you've got to see it...it just made my night. http://www.55555.dk/laughing-babies-a56.html
It's late thursday night...which happens to be my hubby's birthday. We got home a bit ago from a wonderful dinner and we're both pooped...he's already upstairs and I'm heading there as soon as I can make a quick post. :)
It snowed on and off all day long! Amazing for March. When I had Kimber 13 yrs ago on Feb. 16, we had a major snow storm here in Portland, but I don't think it's snowed this time of the year since 1950! It was fun, school suddenly went to "delayed" schedule, which means that kimber was home for two hours more before leaving for the bus....I'll let you guess if that was a good or bad thing for me. 13 hasn't been the most peaceful, drama free time around here...:)
She did manage to make good use of those two hours....she made these two tiny snowmen. :)
It's been a nonstop day for me. My friend Mel came over this morning...she comes every two weeks to scrub my house, as I've learned that if it were up to me, it would never get done....She's such a doll and we've got this routine down that when she gets here, we first sit for 45 minutes or so and catch up over coffee. She's single, in her 20's and is gorgeous...owns her own housekeeping business and is just someone I very much respect. In the midst of our chit chat/coffee, kimber was building the teensy snowmen on the back deck. The flakes were HUGE! Such a nice surprise.
So, here's a pic of lily this morning.....
and then a pic of her after her grooming apt. at noon...which caused her to shake like a scared puppy and pee all down my shirt while dropping her off, poor baby...
Such a nice, clean pup compared to the shaggy dog she'd become.
After dropping her off at the groomers, I went to Crafter's Warehouse to pick up the 3 paintings I'd purchased from Diane Culhane which I was having framed. I'd bought the one with the three flowers when she was here teaching....the other two I bought specifically for Kem's birthday. wanna see? 
The first one is called "One Man's Dream" (it's written in pencil at the top and below the couple Diane wrote "song of songs"...
I fell in love with this and had to get it for Kem...
but....this next one is the painting I found first and thought, I'm going to get this for Kem's bday....
It's a lot smaller than the first. the penciled words say, "I am boat, you are wind." She's drawn a little boat with a person inside...
Finally, here's the flowers I bought when she was here but had framed at the same time as the first two.... all the lines you see are from the reflection on the glass...and of course, as always, the camera doesn't do her work justice.
Kem loved his presents. I think he'll take the boat one for his office at work...but not sure.
It's getting so late, so I'm going to try to speed this up....
Kimber's hamster, Tubby, died yesterday. I think I'd mentioned that I'd been nursing him as he was way over 3 years old and was a grandpa hamster. She was devistated, of course. When I was picking up kem's paintings, I bought bubbles a blue Beta fish. Later, after picking Katy up from school, we went to the pet store and got him a little buddy goldfish so he wouldn't be lonely. :) I took this picture before that, so I'll update it soon. 
okay, time for my pillow... oxox
