What is the point.....?

I spend so many hours cleaning my home. Mostly because I'm slow. But, by the time I get back to the front of the house.....this is what I find. Why even clean?

The funny thing is this picture doesn't even show the extent of the damage. How much stuffing do they put in those toys?

And for the record.....Gauper is not the culprit. Even though he is the only one in the photo. It is all Elphaba. She is our killer.

Beautiful!!!

This new year is giving me opportunity to reflect on last year. I have to say that this was one of the most beautiful sights I had seen last year.....



It is so nice to be home :D

Thats going a little far.....

Some people go a little far in their love for their dogs. Some people treat them like humans....or Children. (Can you believe that?)

I was surprised to find this beauty aid at the dog store. Even though it says 'John Paul'....the maker is the brother of 'Paul Mitchell' beauty supplies. Seriously....do people go that far in their love for their dogs?

Obviously....they do. Or should I say.....I do. The picture says it all. And the IKEA bedspread gives it away. Yes, My dogs are my children and they smell lovely. And are so soft.

Yes......They are worth it :D

Silence is Wierd.....

Target doesn't play music in their stores. I didn't realize that until today after hopping from store to store with blaring Christmas music. I'm not complaining about the music.....but it was just strange to notice none. An employee told us they never play music. Did you ever notice that?

Cross stitching HURTS!!!

Because we are out of town for Christmas, we had to buy new stockings for down here. (One thing I forgot to pack in September) So of course we went to IKEA to pick them out. LOVE THEM!!! And since I have tons of time on my hands....I thought I could cross stitch our initials on them. OUCH! I'm only half way through the D for Dan....and I have three blisters. Ah.....the pains of Christmas decorating :D

Who am I ????

I have fallen into the abyss of California and have completely forgotten that I have a life and a Blog. We have been here 2 1/2 months and it seems like it has been forever.

We are hoping to be home for the New Year!!! Yeah!!! If we aren't....I'll be really concerned about my sanity. Not to mention Dan's. He works 16 hour days. I have forgotten what it is like to spend all of my time with him. I stay awake at nights just to watch him and spend time with him while he sleeps.

I miss home. I miss my husband. I miss my friends.........I Just MISS!!!

Big Trees

We visited our Niece Maria and her hubby Mitchell this last weekend. They live in Fresno. We had a great time. These were some of the sites:
Yep.....those am some big trees. That was not the only thing we got to see that was huge. Picture to come of a tarantula trying to cross the road. If we had run over it....Yep....we would have felt it!!! YUCK!!!

On the sweet side we did see a few deer and a mama bear with twins (one black, one brown) It was AWESOME!!!

We loved spending time with Mitchell and Maria. We will be coming back soon. We have a few more National Forests to hit over there :D
