It's Magic!!!-now you see IT-now you don't!!!!!

Yesterday Oct. 24, 2009 I went to a few Garage Sales with Jen
about 8:30 AM. When I returned home about 12:30 PM,
the House (which was actually used as a storage building)
that I have looked at everyday for 16 years was GONE!
It has been an eye-sore for a long time. I couldn't wait
for the place to be gone! But it now seems a little sad.
I am sure at one time a family lived there and it must
have been full of memeroies. Like I said I have looked
at this place since AJ and Me moved into this home.
Now when I look across the street all I can think of is
"Give Me One More Night With the Frogs".

If you do not understand, give me a call and I will explain!

AJ Turns 62.......Retirement???????

AJ's Birthday was Monday, but we celebrated it on the Saturday before.
The day was perfect for Kids and Dogs. It was dry and warm.
~~~
I had done most of the food the day before, so we all just got to
sit around and kick back.
~~~

A big back yard, a beautiful day, 2 Puppies and young Parents.
What more could 2 Kiddos ask for!
~~~


I did all the side dishes and AJ did the grilling. We had 5 different meats
and AJ kept the platters full.
~~~



After lunch it was back to the yard.
~~~




The Pups loved the Big Ball and I think we all gave it
a throw at least a dozen times.
~~~


If I had a nickle for ever time a Pup jumped that day, I would
be rich!
~~~

The Puppies are Mini Aussies and their nature is to run
and jump and that they did alot of .
~~~


At the end of the day we all started to wind down.
The kids finally gave in to the "tireds".
~~~


Ryan found a place to get away from licking-jumping dogs.
~~~



The day ended and we were all
"DOG TIRED"!
~~~
~~~
Y You were the only thing missing Cass Y
It's time to buy the Bird Seed for our wildbirds.
The weather will soon turn cold and our
Birds will need you.

I Got a ....................................................

A Puppy!!!
ME, Jen and Madison headed out Sept. 17, 2009 to
look at Puppies.
It was a long trip to get to the Puppies.
I told Madison I was just looking and if I
did not see one I liked I would not get one.
SOOOO please do not pressure ME.
"What kind of puppy do you like Mimi?" she ask.
Well, I told her "I wanted a Black and White Puppy,
with some white on the face and a white neck.
I wanted a female and I wanted a very calm Puppy".
Sounds like a lot to ask for.
When we got to our destination Mr. Marvin had 4 puppies
for me to consider.
I looked at 3 and they were so cute. But I just never fell in Love.
Then I seen he had one I had not yet looked at.
" What is that one"I said.
And he reached in and took out
MARLEY!
She is a Bi-colored Black & White, has the silky hair I was wanting,
was a Female and very docile.
She is a Mini Aussie.
~~~
It was a long way back and the Girls in the back seat
got tired.
~~~


It was a bad night to bring a New Puppy home.
It was raining Cats & Dogs (just had to say that).
Poor Marley didn't know where she was and
then had to go out in the rain to do her duty.
~~~



She soon made up with AJ and found a very comfy spot.
~~~



She has a little white on her chinny-chin-chin.
~~~




She soon found one of Murphy's squeeky mice.
~~~


As you can see, Murph was not to happy to share his toys.
~~~






But she won out.
~~~


And had the best time throwing and throwing.....

and tossing and tossing
the mouse in the air.
~~~~~


She did tire out, but would not give up the toy.
~~~


and soon fell asleep with the toy.
~~~
She was a good Girl her first night.
She slept with AJ and did not cry or whimper all night.
~~~

The next morning she got to go out in the yard, in the day light
and with no rain. She had a good time discovering thing she
had never seen before.
~~~
This is all for now, but you have to know there will be
LOTS more of Marley in my Blogs to come!

Proud Parents of a Turtle

This is Tony.

AJ's & ME's Red Eared Slidder Turtle.

This was Tony the day we brought him home,
June 21, 2009.

He was just a little bigger then a quarter.

~

This is Tony today.
The past 2 1/2 months he has thrived.
~


A Red Eared Slider can live 40 years or more.
Since AJ &ME are in our 60's we have asked
Madison if she will take care of him,
when, we no longer can.
Being the Animal Lover she is,
she of course said Yes.
~



It is so strange the way you can get attached
to a little Critter.
We really like this Little Guy or Gal.
~

Tony loves to crawl up AJ's shirt.
~

And he loves to crawl down AJ's shirt.
~

You can see he is quite a bit bigger then a quarter now.
~


The Best Things in Life are Free !
or
Maybe Found.

Praying Mantis

This was outside my front door!!!!

OOOOOOh Nooooooooo!!!!

Shiver-Shiver-SHIVER!!!!!!!

Yes, these things give me the Creeps!

There are only a few Bugs that set me on edge.

Grasshoppers, Crickets, June Bugs, Roaches

and Praying Mantis!

I am not fond of any Bug, but these make me

leave the area quickly.

~

Click on Pictures to get a big look!



Now, AJ said, and I will quote him,

"I think they are beautiful".

Of course AJ likes whiplash and boogers.
~

Okay, this is when I had enough!

When AJ let this Bug start crawling up the

hand and then up the arm, I got Goose-Bumps all

over and the camera was turned off and in the

house I went.
Yes, I am a Woose!
