Snow on Snow on Snow

In the bleak mid-winter. This is the time of year you think it will never end. We had a tease of spring and being in Phoenix a week ago did not help. It has been snowing since 5:00 and my tire tracks in the driveway from 8:00 are now buried at 11:00 pm. Still coming and we were supposed to get 2-4 inches. All the old melt is now buried. Will it ever end???? Did a lot of shopping today. My family room is being transformed into a Paris souvenir shop! Casey is sleeping peacefully at my side and I hate to wake her to go to bed. Otto is returning from Phoenix tonight. Attended Amanda's opening of Bridge to the Stars. Andrew & Brian wired flowers, Bryce wore a suit and gave her a dozen red roses and Bryce's parents attended last night and gave her flowers...I could cry because it is so sweet! Wish I was still there. Had my bi-weekly manicure today, talked to Matt and am anxious for his visit next weekend. 10 weeks until Amanda is home for the summer. Can't decide when to go to Washington DC, will go around Easter, and will miss the cherry blossoms again this year. Turmoil in Michigan...with the gov., fundings, teacher's unions and Federal dollars that fund the Title positions...me. It is what it is. Not looking forward to the changes this next year.

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
