Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!

We hope that you had a great and lucky day!!! We didn't do a whole lot. I made goodies for the neighbor's again, and David cooked his Corn Beef and Cabbage dinner. I am not a lover of corn beef but do enjoy the cabbage and potatoes that go with it. I will usually eat a small piece of corn beef to make David happy and to show him, how much I do appreciate him cooking. He does that about 5-10 times a year and when he does, I do not complain!!


Here is a pic of the food and then a pic of my plate.

It was quite yummy.

Here are some pics of the goodies I made for the neighbors. For my neighbors to the left, I sent cupcakes, as it's just the 2 of them.

For the family down the street, I sent a whole cake. This is the family that has the teenage daughter who we have kind of adopted as a extra grand daughter. The mother has been quite sick, and just got out of the hospital.

The girl loves chocolate, so it's is devil food cake with cream cheese frosting.

Here are our left over cupcakes. Come on over and have one!!! There is plenty!!

The lady whom we bought the top aquarium from, called last night and asked if we wanted to get some more fish (cichlids). She gave me a steal of a deal, that I could not refuse, so we now have probably 75 cichlids in the tank. We think we are going to give the goldfish and Koi to someone with a pond, and use the bottom tank also for cichlids. Cichlids, have such personality, and are so much fun to watch and feed. I do love my carp's but they are lazy and don't do a lot. The cichlids actually interact with us. This is the cichlid tank.

A close up of some she brought us last night.

Here is the carp tank.

We have added a few decorations, It is going to be our skull tank. We are having lots of fun with this. Hey, Ness, what size is that tank, Roger has?

Today was also my grandson Brice's 3rd birthday. He is our St. Patty's day boy. Here is a pic of him, with the gift we sent him. They live in Arkansas. He loves Woody from Toy Story. Isn't he the cutest? Looks exactly like my son Jeremy, at that age.

Here he is with his annual picture at Hooter's with the girl's. What a expression he has. He is learning young to like the girl's!!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Brice!!! Nanny & Grandpa love you!!

Well, I hope everyone had a great day, as we did. So warm here, in the mid 70's!! Got a few windows open, feels so nice. Usually this time of year we are still below freezing at night and 50 as the high, so this is weird, but I will not complain. I just wonder what kind of summer we will have. I love it HOT but David with his COPD, can not tolerate it to hot. I seem to feel better when it's warmer. My neuropathy and fibromyalgia do better I think, or maybe the sun just makes me less depressed, I don't know.

Leave some love for me if you were here!!

Our pets

I do not think I can do anything in small amounts anymore... LOL. We have 4 dogs, and we once had 1 small fish tank. I now have two (2) 55 gallon fish tanks.. One is full of African Cichlids, and one with Goldfish and 2 Koi. I am so enjoying the fish. They are great stress reducers, that is after you and your disabled hubby put not one but 2 huge tanks up. I really believe it has to do with empty nest syndrome. I NEED things to take care of. My life seems lost without those things that need me. My kids are all grown and gone, and live away, so can't even babysit the grands. The 2 largest goldfish have been here for 3 plus years They have grown from about 1 inch to healthy 6 plus inches not including the tail. They came from my daughters pond, 3 years ago, Thanksgiving. The tank with the goldfish needs more decoration. We will do it alittle at a time. Well bought both tanks off Craigslist, so was quite cheap. When we bought the cichlid tank, they lady gave me about $200.00 worth of fish with it. I am a happy girl, with that deal!! She also gave us the stand that holds both tanks.

Here are the doggies tonight. It's late so they are sleepy...LOL. They are all in David's office, (Man Cave). Here is Baby and Izzy on the chair in there.

Here is Cookie, asleep on the floor. She has gained some good weight, has been fixed and is quite happy here.

Here is Bucky. He is sleeping under David's desk, by his feet, in a dog bed. What a hard life he has...LOL.

I know I haven't blogged since Valentine's Day, but we have been somewhat busy, and I haven't had anything to blog about. I lead a very boring life. I do read your blogs everyday although, that is when my eyes allow me.
I pray everyone is safe, well and OK. I pray daily for my blogging friends.  I love you all and very grateful for you. Leave me some love please.


God Bless~

The day of Love :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!


Well today is Valentine's Day. Mine was pretty good. Last night I made cookies and cupcakes for the neighbors and friends.

Today I got up and had a nice gift from Hubby.

  I got  sweet card and some pretty earrings.

Tonight he cooked me a delicious dinner. My favorite, Pepper Steak.

After dinner we ate a cupcake, I had baked for dessert.

Some have asked how Cookie is doing. She is doing great! She got spayed yesterday and is a little sore, but seems fine.

 She is such a sweet dog. Very calm and grateful.

 Here is Cookie and Izzy getting a treat. They love their treats!!!

Bucky getting his.

Baby getting hers.

I have been falling a lot lately. I see the doc on Thursday, will see what he says. Here is when arm meets fridge when falling.

We have had very little snow this winter and seemed weird when we got this!! It didn't last long. Doesn't seem like winter at all!! NOT COMPLAINING!!!

I hope everyone had as great a Valentine's Day as I did. Let me know if you stopped by. Peace and Love to everyone!!!

God Bless~

Call Me CRAZY!!!!!

Yeah, call me crazy... We rescued another dog last week. She is a 4 year old Maltese. That makes us having 4 dogs now. I couldn't help it. She was a puppy mill rescue. Having litter after litter and the owner decided that she got to psycho when he was pregnant, so she decided she was not useful to her anymore. We went to pick her up, and OMG, the poor dog is skin and bones. I handed her to David and David just looked at me like, we can NOT leave this dog here. David loves dogs as much as I do. She gave her to us for free. She told us the dog did not like to eat. Well, let me tell you, she has not stopped eating since we got her. I bet she has put on a pound. You could feel every bone, rib, and back bone. I hated touching her, as I was afraid I would break a bone. She is still skinny but getting so much better. We named her Cookie. She has the best personality and gets along with our other dogs well. I do not understand how people can watch a dog starve to death. If I can't afford to feed my dogs, I am not going to eat. How can someone just watch a animal starve to death? 


So here is a picture of our newest addition. I haven't taken many yet, as not to overwhelm her. She is a cutie pie. I have always wanted a Maltese, as I think they are so pretty. She will be so much cuter when her hair on her ears and tail grows, like a Maltese is supposed to look.
This pic is of her the day we got her.

This one is of her in one of her favorite spots. On the recliner behind my head!!

Last one I have of her so far.

She is small. I think she will weigh around 7-8 lbs. when she gets to the right weight. We also have to get her spayed, so she never has to go psycho again!!! LOL

So this is what has kept me busy the last week. Keep me in your prayers, that I see no more dogs that need rescued!!! LOL..

We have had no snow this winter to speak of. The temps have been mild. So weird, but I am happy!! The groundhog saw his shadow so that means 6 more weeks of winter. Well, if this is all we have to deal with for 6 more weeks, bring it on!!! LOL.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. The Super Bowl is tomorrow!!! Who are you pulling for? We will be pulling for the Giant's.

Let me know if you came by!!!!

God Bless~
