Watch it Grow....

I always wanted one of these...

You know the ones that appear on the WalMart shelves around Christmas time each year.

The ones that are a quick gift for all those impossible people to buy for...

Just plant the bulbs and watch them grow...!!

Well

There they were next to the cash register with a 50% off sign....

it just jumped into my cart...!!

It's called a "Paper White" and I planted the bulbs about 10 days ago....

To bad I don't have small children anymore...sometimes I thought I could see it grow..

Max and Meg are not impressed...!

Oh Well.....I tried..!

The ears are find but there is still some fluid that's causing the dizzies...

..Change, it's good for you..

And Then....

it snowed..!!

and snowed..!!

Granted it's wasn't much compared to the rest of the nation..

but

it was enough to delay the start of school today and make a mess of the roads..

Me.....I'm sitting here waiting for the ice to melt off my drive so I can go back to the doctor for a recheck of my left ear.....the crickets in there are still singing loudly....still have some pressure driving up to the park and the vertigo (I think) is a little worst.....not a good thing to have while driving up mountains...

..Change...it's good for you..

But...Mom...!!

...he's got MY toy...!!!

I'm Back ..!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year....

Christmas around the Twelve Acre Wood was very quite and green...

Not a snow flake in sight....!!

We all ate to much and played with our new toys...

And

I started the new year with a bulging left eardrum and vertigo...

Talk about my world spinning....whewwwwww...!!

Have to have the ear rechecked tomorrow and the vertigo is still swirling around....

My truck is in the shop getting a new bumper....

Hope to have it back soon....don't like driving "A CAR!"

The word or phrase for this year is.....

..Change, it's good for you ..

Merry Christmas....

The staff lunch and breakfast have been eaten...

The walnut-pear bread is baked...

The missing present has appeared...

(it was USPS not UPS)

the presents are almost wrapped....

and now I sit here waiting on a last minute gift for the MaleChild..

hopefully it gets here before the flash-flood warning rains move in...

The winning Christmas card picture is coming your way....

Sooo

I'm taking a little break until after Christmas...

Have the Happiest of Holidays...!!

ps....Enlarge card to see the frost on the trees....

I'm Done...!!

I'm Done....

done...done...done...!!

Let's see all the gifts are here...

Wait..

Where's the one for my brother..?

Checking Amazon...

It's Back Ordered.....!!!

Yaaaaa.....!!

Well

I'm almost done.....almost done....almost done....!!!

..Go For Your Dreams..

Max....

went to the doggie spa, too.

But he was napping and didn't want me to take his picture...

he said...."they all know how handsome I am....now go away with that flashy thing!"

..Go For Your Dreams..

First Spa Day....

Yesterday was Meg's first visit to the doggie spa...

I was a little worried because of her separation issues...

But....she did well...

She had a bubble bath...a blueberry facial and her nails done...

the groomer gave Meg an A on her behavior report card...

He also trimmed the hair ball on the end of her tail...!!

She's sooooo cute...!!
