Mother's Day

Happy Mothers Day to all Moms!

And to the Dad's who stand in for Mom!

Saylors and Jaxon

Saylors has been spending more time in the house since her accident.  Obviously, I have her caged.  She whines every time someone comes near her.  She keeps hoping that someone will let her out.  She is even putting up with Jaxon sniffing around the cage.

Jaxon lost his ball to her tail.  He would dive for the ball and she would wrap her tail around it.  Jax would back off and she would lift her tail from it.  He started barking at the cage when she would do it.

I let her have her fun for a little while, then I saved his ball for him.  Sneaky Kitty.

LOOKIT what sailed by my house!

What a beautiful sight to come home too!

The A.J. Meerwald, a restored oyster schooner is docked locally this week.

She sailed by my house at lunchtime yesterday and Jaxon and I were on the beach to welcome her in.

IT GETS BETTER!  I was able to get tickets for Son and I to sail on her!

Son helped hoist the sail to get us underway.

We sailed past The Compound and waved to everyone.

Crew members were hanging over the edge.  YIKES!

Son steered the boat.  And didn't sink us!

He helped fold the flag.  Don't panic!  Its the A.J. Meerwold flag on the deck, NOT the stars and bars.

We watched the sunset on the way home.

We docked and came home. 

But what a WONDERFUL way to spend an evening.

There are not many other ways that can top this!

Grass Watch

Dad is doing a pretty good job watching the grass.  The front yard is looking pretty good.

He thought he was going to spread some more seed over the weekend and his body just laughed at him.  So while he sat in a chair, his good daughter took orders and did as he instructed.

We have this cool sprinkler that "walks" along the hose and waters.  You just have to turn it off when it gets to the end.  Only we keep forgetting to turn it off and we end up watering Kathy's house too!

But the yard is looking pretty good!  I can't wait till we are allowed to use it again.

I have to do a small tribute to my cousin Dawn and her Hubby, John.  They came over and put Dad's A/C's in over the weekend.  I didn't even know she read my blog!  I posted about needing help and she was messaging me within minutes!  Dawn and John, you are life savers!  Literally in this case!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!  Love you both!

Sunset/Sunrise

I took a few minutes to slow down and watch the sunset last night.  It was GORGEOUS!  Yes, I will share.

It was over by 7:56pm.

This morning I was feeding the animals and noticed the sunrise.  Another gorgeous view.

Both of these pictures are facing west.

I know the sun rises in the east but there were clouds that way and it was prettier facing this way.

Happy Tuesday!

Out Of My Comfort Zone - WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY out........

I hate needles.  I mean I REALLY hate needles.  And they don't even have to be directed to me.  I cannot watch someone else get a needle.  I can't watch ME get a needle and I even tend to pass out with them.  I am the worlds biggest sissy when it comes to needles.

But I did this:

Its not too late to chicken out yet.

NOW its' too late.  And it HURTS!

The Finished Project.  Its beautiful!  And worth it.

When I was in Hawaii in 2006, I found a magnet that I loved and was going to get a tat in Hawaii but we didn't have time.  I kept the magnet so that one day I would get the courage to do this.  DONE!  What's next on the bucket list?

Neicy got TWO! One on her ankle and one on her shoulder.

She didn't even flinch.

This is for her granddaughter, Haley.

This is the zodiac signs for her three kids, Taurus, Leo and Aquarius.

It turned out gorgeous and I can't wait to see it without all the redness and blood!  OUCH!

Saylors, Oh My Poor Saylors!

I talk A LOT about Jaxon, the new puppy and a little bit about the two kitties, Saylors and Kitters.  Saylors is a very beautiful grey and black girl kitty with green eyes.  I have always called her my high maintenance kitty because she always seems to be complaining about something and is always wanting love.

See, Pretty Kitty.

Anyway, the other night I noticed that she was limping and checked her out.  She didn't seem to be complaining too much and she could still get around so I didn't think it was serious enough for the emergency hospital.  The next day I did take her to the regular vet who said she has 2 broken toes.  Ouchies!  Poor baby!

The vet said to cast her foot would be difficult and since she was able to walk on it some, he recommended that I crate her for about 3 weeks.  Oh crap.  First, I didn't have a crate big enough for her, a litter box and food dishes.  I do have a crate for the dog but he NEEDS to be in it too.  Putting them together would be silly.  HA!

I texted Neicy's daughter, Allison cause she has a big dog and is known to foster other big dogs.  She had a crate that I can borrow!  YAY!  Love it!  So here is Saylors all settled in, not happy with having her freedom curtailed but she will heal properly this way.

Every time someone walks near the cage she yells to get out.  Poor Saylors!

I wish someone would crate me and bring me all my meals for 3 weeks!
