February 2015

Been working extra hours lately, but finally had time today to take some pics of our wintry weather. Also had time to watch all the birds at the birdfeeders out front through the picture windows, which I Love to do. Took me all morning, but I Finally caught 'Woody Woodpecker' on camera,too :)

Love is in the ..fish tank :)

Someone gave us a second aquarium, so my husband asked me if for Valentine's Day/our anniversary later this month we could get more fish. (because nothing says "I love you" like..."hey baby, let's buy some more fish"? lol.

Seriously, we had a lot of fun, deciding to move all the Cichlids to the bigger aquarium, getting a few more of them to go in that tank

and then getting some different kinds of fish for the smaller aquarium (plus getting new decorations to put in both tanks)

Love is what you make it, I suppose..and in our case, it was aquariums this year :)

plus, it was time to get a new computer chair...the other chair would slowly descend randomly while you were sitting in it, and suddenly you would feel like a preschooler sitting at a desk for high schoolers or something, with your chin practically on the desktop....so it will be no surprise to anyone who knows my husband that This was the chair we got!

 Happy Valentine's day everyone !

Merry Christmas!

Every year, I repost the video of my daughter's solo in church back in '07

because I love it. Hope you enjoy! (I know she hates when I do this,lol, but that's what mothers are for :)

Wreaths Across America 2014

This past Saturday the 13th, Tony and I participated as volunteers in the wreath laying at Arlington National Cemetery.

The link to my blogpost about it on my other blog (and the link to the pictures we took)
is  HERE

We unfortunately missed the opening ceremony because the Metro was a mad crush of volunteers heading to the cemetery, and we had to use our phones to take pictures because the entire pack of extra batteries we'd bought were useless :( but it was still an uplifting, moving, awe-inspiring event to be a part of, honoring our nation's fallen heroes. 

More Autumn pics

Autumn pictures

Last year, it occurred to us After fall was over, that we should have taken pictures of the trees in the back as they changed colors. So this year, we're trying to do that.

First pictures were taken Thurs,Sept 25.

And the second set of pictures were taken yesterday and today.

More to come in the days ahead..

Our "Three Amigos"

A friend in Australia refers to her dogs as 'the 3 Amigos', and now that Bo has joined our family, we have our Own 'Three Amigos'

                                        Brownie,Riggo and Bo

It was hilarious this morning when I tried to do my stretches for my back (I hurt my back the end of August)..I normally do them in a room where I can close the door, since I lay on the floor to do them..but all three dogs were napping, so I thought I'd try lying on the floor in the front room.

Is there such a thing as 'too much love'? I think so,LOL, at least it felt that way this morning when as soon as I laid on the floor, I suddenly had the 3 dogs plus one of the cats decided that my actions meant I wanted to play with them...I was literally 'rolling on the floor laughing' while trying to fend off the affections of all of the pets, ha ha.

I gave up and decided to go stretch in a room where I could shut the door!

Bo,Riggo and Brownie

Well ,it's always fun to have pets. and this Used to be My couch, ha ha.
