GO SEAHAWKS !! GO PACKERS !!

Hello all,

Well, tonight is the Seattle Seahawks game. They are playing the Panthers. Seahawks are first in the conference standings and Panthers are fourth.

Tomorrow, while I am at  church, :( The Greenbay Packers in second place, will be playing the Dallas Cowboys who are in third place. By the time I get home from church the game will be over.

My hubby is a Packers fan from wayyyyyyyyy back.  We are living in Seattle..Seahawks  country. Where I was born and raised. I was thinking wouldn't it be fun to have both teams win this weekend and play each other next week for the conference championship.  The winner of that game would play in the Superbowl on February 1st for the NFC against the winner of the AFC division playoff game.

Well, we shall see...Diana? I hope you all are ready for tomorrows game. :) Who would you like to play in the next game or in the Superbowl?

Take care everyone.   GO SEAHAWKS :)  

WOOHOO !!  They did it !  Okay Packers, your turn. :)

PS...the Packers did it too ! Gonna be a good game next week. WOOHOOO!!

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

I wish you all a wonderful and blessed New Year

LET IT SNOW....PLEEEEEZE :)

Hi there, just a quick hi. And my only Christmas wish or now post Christmas wish is to have some SNOW.  :) 

Not to sound negative, but I don't think we are going to get any. We had only a dusting for a few minutes last year. Then it was gone. This area of Washington is not known for big snow storms.

I hope all of you are safe and warm and having a great holiday season. :)

Take care my friends...

Oh and GO SEAHAWKS !! :)

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

UPDATES, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY SUNDAY :)

Hi everyone,

Wow! I can't believe I haven't posted since October. Things have been crazy around here. 

Hubby is still in dialysis. His appts have been changed to an earlier time. Which means if he has a bad night and we have to get up early the world is going to see and hear two very cranky people. lol

Sis has been in the hospital for a couple of months. She is fine. They are trying to find her a home to move to and are having a hard time.

Mom is doing ok, kinda. She is getting a little strange like about this time last year. But not as bad.  Her mother past away on the 29th of this month about 14 years ago I think and she is missing her. Also her fathers birthday is the 31st. He has been gone a long time. I will go be with her on those days.  And I am going to see her on Christmas.  Last year I was sick and couldn't go to her.

I have been awake now more than 24 hours. And in just over an hour I will get hubby up and then get ready for church. So glad I don't snore...how embarrassing  that would be. lol Nawwww not going to sleep in church. Didn't a man do that in the New Testament and fall  out the window and die??

I love Sundays and need my weekly dose of the Spirit. :)

I am missing a snowy winter in Utah and Wyoming. We just get big winds and rain here. :( I guess I will survive. 

This is my favorite time of year. Snow and Christmas my two favorite things. I hope all of you have a wonderful Spirit filled Christmas. Remember the Reason for the season. And how blessed we are to have a Heavenly Father that so loves us that He gave His only begotten Son.

Take care my friends....

 

MY FIRST TRY :)

Hi everyone,

I can't believe it has been over a month since I've posted. With all that is happening with Mel...dialysis and all, time just goes too fast. About Mel...he has good days and bad. The bad takes us quite often to the ER. Gosh, I hate hospitals! We end up in there for so long. It is a common thing for kidney dialysis patients. Right now he is doing fine. :)

Update on Mom, she is doing ok too. I am thankful for that. My sister is currently in the hospital. But doing ok.  Right now I don't think I could manage dealing with everyone's troubles. The Lord has been good with giving me the strength I need so far though. And timing things so that I don't need to worry.

Now...to get to my reason for  posting My First Try. :)

I got a digital camera a while back.  And hadn't had the time to take very many pictures. The other day I bought a cable to transfer the pictures from camera to my laptop. Well....today I took a few pics hooked things up and...nothing. :( I thought of course.. that is always what happens when I have something fun I want to try. :)

Then I thought well I can do this another way, can't I? I can take the memory card out of the camera and stick it in the slot in the laptop. So I tried that and....woohoo! It worked. So here is my first try at taking pictures with a digital camera, transferring to laptop, and getting them on my blog. Sorry some are a little out of focus.

 This really is our little Princess Downy

This is a wreath I made yesterday 

It is made of burlap.

These two pics are of a nice fall arrangement

Given to me by two ladies from church.

Above are two pictures taken from our balcony. One close up of a maple tree next to the balcony. And the second one of the trees along the road that goes around the apartment building.

I wish I could have taken pictures of the pretty flowers around the place. They are gone now. We will have to wait until spring. Maybe I can take pictures of the bushes they were on and you can tell me if you know what kind they are. Maybe.

Please let me know how you are all doing. Ok?

Ok gotta run. Have a great Sunday and a wonderful week. 

PS...Does anyone know if ALL maple trees have the little whirly bird things? I'm really counting on this. Lol I know, I'm weird.

PRINCESS DOWNY.....

Hi everyone,

Well, the Princess has entered a new phase in her life. She is getting very bold. Mommy is not sure what to do about it.

(not Downy but she looked like this)

She loves being outside and thinks that EVERY time we go out we should stay out until SHE is ready to come in.  She thinks this quite strongly at the times when I have things to do and need her to go out, go potty, and come in. After about 2 minutes.

So she has begun to do two things that Mommy is very tired of already.  When we need to go back in I tug softly on her leash and say "let's go."  She digs in her heels and refuses to budge. Actually pulling against me.  :( OR she will come and after a few steps stop and refuse to budge.  She will play this little game every 5 steps about 3 or 4 times. Then I have to tug harder and she will come. Grrrrrr I don't like to do that because it hurts her throat and she will cough and gag for hours. :(

What a little stinker! I guess someone has told her that even though she is only about 8 inches high and 15 inches long. She is older than I am so SHE should be the boss. She sure is lively for a 77 year old. lol

I have never been able to bring myself to scold her much, like for doing a no-no on the carpet or whatever. Coz truthfully alot of the time it isn't her fault. Lots of times I am gone way too long. I know that she hangs in there as long as she can. :)

She is just a cute, sweet and cuddlely (sp?) little critter. :)

(also not Downy but she looked like this)

Fall is coming....it's just around the corner. The leaves are thinking about changing colors. :) Few are actually doing it. I am waiting for the maple trees on the property, especially the one at our balcony to grow the little whirlybird things. Been told that is a Fall thing. I have always loved those. lol

Call me weird....but as soon as their here I will be out on my balcony throwing and dropping them and watching them go 'round n 'round. :)

Gotta run. Take care all.
