Matt's 28th

Matt struggled thru the horrible weather to get home last night.....snow and disgusting drivers for nearly 8 hours. So glad he did but he had car issues. Today he and Otto enjoyed the North American Auto Show at Cobo (was asked but no didn't want to go) and I had numerous errands and shopping to do and my foot is still not totally recovered and I worry about crowds....anyway, after a chicken parisian salad we decided to run over to the Plymouth Ice Festival, the 30th. We have gone for many years and we were sorely disappointed. There were more carnival wagons offering treats than sculptures. People can't go 20 minutes without popcorn, hot chocolate and sausages. So sad to see this because it used to be a real treat with hundreds of ice sculptures. We valet parked because of me and came back to find our car left with a window open and no one around. I had left my purse in the car the the "valet boys" claimed they were right there so no worried. Idiots. Matt found the problem to his car was a wet air filter. The snow storm was so bad on the way here that snow reached the inside of the car an wetted the air filter, it was like dissolving paper. Should be ok after a replace tomorrow...it is what it is. Oh, btw, awesome calendar of Casey and Matt for his birthday and of course.....cake and ice cream and balloons! :)

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...
