The Glove Thief...

Lucy's Mug Shots

I hear Lucy playing with something in the living room last night.  I can hear her shaking something and take a look and see her throwing a black something into the air.
When I get closer I find she has my new wool gloves, that she pulled out of my purse.
She didn't chew them, just carried them around and tossed them into the air.

Bad dog...bad dog...but you're so darn cute.

Knights in Shining Armor


To the Castle we did go on Saturday evening... with the daughters and their hubbies, my Mom and two couples who are dear friends and of course Sir Dylan.


 We all received crowns to wear for the evening.  Mom Mom and Gramps got a sword and shield for our little knight.  Gramps made the smart choice of a foam sword rather than a wooden one, especially since Mom Mom was sitting next to that sword during dinner and the show.


 Our champion for the evening was the Yellow and Red Knight but unfortunately it was the Green knight who won.  We did however get to celebrate the Ravens win that evening.  When we chose Saturday to go to Medieval Times 
we had no idea the Ravens would be in the playoffs.


Our brave knight tossed a flower to my Mom and she surprised us all and caught it.  Here she is joking and dancing with it between her teeth.  A good time was had by all!

Is it true bad things happen in 3's?

 
Okay...so I hope the "bad things happen in 3's" is true. Yesterday afternoon I put a cup of water into the microwave to heat to make tea and the microwave started a groaning and then there was a burning smell. Quickly turned it off and unplugged it. Pulled out my Mickey Mouse enameled tea kettle...filled it with water which quickly ran out a small hole which had rusted through the side. I ended up just heating the water in a pot. Then last night we realized that our house phones weren't working...The main charger died sometime yesterday. Certainly not major catastrophes but annoyances. Will be out looking at replacements today.

I Love You A Special and A Peck...


We get photos or videos or text messages from Holly almost everyday about what the grandbabies are doing or saying or singing. A bright spot in my day for sure. Got a text today that Dylan was running around the house this morning singing, "I love you a special and a peck."  I love too D Boy...a special and a peck!

Begone!


A frosty morning here today...and it's looks like it will be a beautiful day. When I went to slip on my shoes to take Lucy out earlier I found another "stinker bug" as my 3 year old grandson calls them, on my shoe lace. I have been finding the creepies all over the house. As I flush them I scream, "Die, Die, Die!"
