Snow

It's March 29 and it snowed last night. It is still on the ground and cars but is melting quickly. I am just thankful that Buddy likes the snow and will go out in it anytime. It hasn't snowed this many times in one season since we moved here. I like it. I like it a lot. Here's a picture of snow at Mt Rainier this past weekend--what a beautiful and grand mountain right in our backyard.

Spencer had a great visit with the CEO of Dryers. All went smoothly. He has a big weight lifted from his shoulders. Little Spencer has to do a panorama of the desert. He's creative so I 'm sure it will be great.

Devin, Carl and Hayden leave for their week in Hawaii. They will come back with a great tan.

Brain is really into golf. He even watches it on TV. How come golf wasn't one of our things in high school? It seemed like everything else was. Maybe the grand kids will take it up. Brian will have to teach them.

Time to work on Primary music. I have the entire sharing time today. Bye for now.

Happy Birthday Brian and Happy St. Patrick's Day,Too

Today is Brian's birthday. We were the first ones to call this morning to wish him a happy birthday (not including Flora who was the very first one, of course). We hope this birthday has been great. Wish we could be there to help you celebrate. We did put out our Happy Birthday Flag. Brian's is the first birthday to have it hanging on our porch.

I received it (thank you very much Dewey and Amazon) a couple days after my birthday and it will hang on our porch on every family member's birthday. Yay--kinda like confetti in the cards--flag flying on the porch--I know that doesn't make sense but I just want my children to know we have ways of celebrating their birthdays even if they are far away. A signature thing.

We wore our green today. Dewey made a delicious fake corned beef and cabbage Irish meal. It was delicious. We had beef instead of corned beef and lots of different spices and it tasted great. Dewey is trying to help me stay on program (WW) and within my points. He knows I would eat way to much of the "real" stuff and I would swell up like a balloon. We also had Irish Soda bread. Wow, it was more of a dessert than a bread. YUM YUM YUM!!!!

Buddy had his St. Patrick's Day bandanna on.

Today was beautification day and he looked spiffy. We made a visit to a nursing home to visit a dear friend. I believe she likes having Buddy come to see her.

Speaking of the bandannas we were out at a new PetSmart last week and found a package that had 5 holiday bandannas--on sale--got them--now he is set for St. Pat's Day, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween and Christmas.


Speaking of Buddy and his grooming days, next week he is going short. I wanted to wait another couple of weeks but he was having a hard time cooperating when Marilyn was trying to get the knots out and it will just be easier to go short next week instead of waiting and then having to be shaved (because there are so many knots). He is usually really good there but I guess there is just too much combing when the hair is so long and it's getting pretty long.

On Sunday morning it started snowing. The flakes were very big and the snow accumulated and was beautiful. I decided to watch it fall so Buddy, Kitty and I snuggled up (actually they were at the foot of the bed and I was under the covers) put on a Tony Bennett Christmas album (thank you Dewey for having every Christmas album we own and then some on the Zune sitting on our bed's headboard) and listened to the whole album. Lots of Christmas snow songs on the one I picked, and I even chose it at random. Unfortunately by the time we left for church the rain had been falling for awhile and all the snow was melted. Dewey was at his Stake meetings during the snow or else he would have been cuddled up right beside me.

We have had lots more snow than usual this year. I like it.

Hayden is walking. She is still scared of the Spiderman doll we gave her when it sings.

Twilight is out on DVD on the 21st at 12:01am. No we are not going to be there to get it at that time, but Dewey says we will get it on Blue Ray.

Dewey's cataract surgery went well, my mouth is healing from my surgery, and Dewey's new crown was installed today. Thank you microwave popcorn for having too many kernels NOT popped and cracking his tooth.

Happy Birthday Brian! We love you.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all.
