little trip

 Sunflowers basically gone... and prob won't have then next year, so much work and water... an can't keep Brian from pulling them when they first show!!!  oh well, a time for everything...

Got to travel to Eugene for school shopping for Rylie... i went my own way in the Mall, too stressful for me... the teenage angst....

But got to have dinner with a friend !!! Had a food visit, she is always so much more busy than i am, but she is still working too...  was wearing sunglasses as all her fake eyelashes fell out and she does not have a fill until the 8th!!! she did look naked face!

  Baby was exhausted... there was LOTS of noise in the Mall, her eyes were big as saucers!!

weather was nice and we got away from the dry heat and smoke for awhile.. did not get home until 10pm tho,, long day.. but i just had to sit there and not do the driving.... 

 

Not much else happening....  not even doing anything this long week end...

Take Care and God Bless all 

Livin'

 Novah  is starting to laugh and she SMILES!!! It is so very cute. and those cheeks, think  they said she weighs 13# now and is getting chubs...  she had spells of not being happy, her mom went to rest room and change clothes and she could not see mom. so i walked her facing outward and then laid her down on mat with play thing dangling for her to look at.. she did not want to be in a seat or lay on my lap... think she was ready for a diaper change or something to eat!  Sade was not to very happy about my lap being filled, but she was good and did not jump up.  Good thing!

 

Not doing anything exciting.  Almost got my BIG doily done! on the final row, thought this time would EVER come.. then have to wash and starch and lay out to dry  So all my time taken doing this , so no reading...  Been cleaning house and working in the yard...  Got the lavender trimmed and sunflowers partially pulled up. I pull them when all the blooms are done and they are dying out.. watering yard..  Have a HOT week end coming up

Next Friday going to go school clothes shopping, just going along for the ride and to get out of town, they do not take my advice.  I don't think Rylie was EVER bought any clothes i thought would be cute on her.  and will get to have dinner with a friend who lives  in Eugene! 

 

 Sade just livin'  life large... think (knock on wood) she is almost potty trained.  have NOT had an accident in awhile and she goes to the back door and barks, and is quite insistent if i don't just jump up RIGHT NOW!!!  

Take Care and God Bless

Getting ready for FALL 

bad mummy

Well.. a word of warning

But then maybe this only happens to me... but i want to remember this for future reference.. Sade got into the garage, the door does not always close all the way.  Brian has a "office" out there, and he sits out there most all the time.. doing whatever.. so there is a little garbage can with his "butts"  and he no longer smokes.. but has a joint here and there.. it is legal now... still.. whatever... Yes, Sade ate a left over doobie.. and boy was she stoned!! was all woobly and just stood and stared. would not eat or drink, would not pee, so took her to the vet.. i mean really, i googled it and she had all the symptoms, but they can also have seizures, go into a coma, die!!!! Robin caught her right away and it did not seem she had alot of time out there and only got into a little bit, but there was evidence of her rooting around.  (there were also nicotine things in there) The vet said her symptoms  were for the MJ and not nicotine, as her heart rate was low , as was her temp. so they injected saline under her skin  on her back (she did NOT like that) to dissipate things and it seemed to work. they could not make her throw-up due to the lethargy, and gave her something for nausea.   i sat with her like this for hours... all she wanted was to be held and about 10:30p (5 hrs layer) she perked up, drank water, had a big pee and was perky, ready for bed... so grateful this is all that happened.  nothing more serious

Brian went right out and emptied the garbage and will no longer be depositing whatever that is in the garage, and will put it up on the cupbrds or something so she can't accidently get into anything.. she already knows not to go into his bedroom and the door is closed most all of the time.  told him, i thought he was at least half responsible !!! Vet emergencies are expensive, even tho it was still during office hours. they immediately took her in , there was no sitting about waiting for them.  i was not at home when this happened, It is so scary,  u  can't be there all the time, in every instance, but we all have to be responsible. But all is well and over and today she is herself and happy dog. an happy mum..

Take care and God Bless
 

musings

 Got to spend some time with the "girlies" They are aging out of my system and are pretty self entertaining these days, took them for one of those awful sugary  drinks at Dutch Bros.. ( i still had my Starbucks, thank you very much)

My lilies are blooming... they come up every year... so far....  love them

 

Downloaded some pis taken of baby by a 'professional'

She will not like these when she is a teen!!!

Sade went in for her yearly check-up and had her shots, she was not happy at that!!

Today being Sunday felt i needed to get out of the house, so took her for the Starbucks pup-cup .. she was happy.. trying to get her to spend some time in the back yard without barking ALL the time, not going well, even bought one of those bark deterant things.. that we can't hear, so is it working, don't know.. does not seem to affect her like it did in the commercials!! and she is still barking, at i know not what. the other day the neighbor across the street was chopping wood..

I am so very glad i have my little air conditioner as it has been miserable  out.. and so-so dry  went to Crooked River Ranch for an estate sale ( a bust) and stepping out of the car was stepping into two inches of powdery dust.. got feet and sandals all dusty.  each step brought up a cloud.. was glad to get out of there. All the places out there are so very dry. i think they have well water... and there are LOTS of little 5 acre plots. all jumbled together, with single wide mobile houses and some great mansions.  i would not like that at all. and only one way in and one way out!! so traffic going to work and coming home..   At one time it was quite the draw for people to have a place,  prices were cheap, but now, even just the land is in 100's of thousand $$

 Another beautiful lily

Take Care all and God Bless 

 

 

Sade Day

 

So cute when she tilts her head back and forth trying to understand what i am saying

Today was a day spent with Sade. Went to Wilco to get her some of her Peruvian cheese chews.  they get chewed down to nubbins, put them in the microwave for a minute and they swell up like pop corn to twice their size and then are much easier to eat for her and a different treat, like two in one, eventually and she loves chewing on them, they are her nummy when she goes to bed, chews on it for a bit. ( and was getting them at a specialty pet store for  (9-11$ and at Wilco 6.99!!)    Then we went to Starbucks for a pup cup.  then to Petco for her bag of food and some chew  bones and a toy, that is tuff!!!  Haha and maybe she won't be able to tear it apart in 10 minutes!!  has a squeaker which she found right away...

Then a drop off at Good will, went thru a book case and got rid of tons of craft books, cook books and some novels i determined  i was never going to read as they had been in the bookcase behind the bedroom door for ,what, 12 years now and remain unread.. 

 

 THEN we went to Umatilla Park for a walk, They have a soccer pitch and 4 baseball fields and a large playground, so there is alot of space and we amble around the outer edges, There is up and down terrain.

There was a little dog on a leash that someone let go and she came for a visit. they whistled for her and she would run back, they wouldn't watch and she came to us yet again, then back, so that made for some fun for Sade... nice walk

and she got to go into all of these places, so she got interaction with lots of shoppers and floors, lots of sniffing..

Good day

I am so glad  i have her, she is such a sweet little thing and i think she likes me :) 

Take Care and God Bless 

 

the river

 Got to go to the river (Deschutes) at Cline Falls, which is only about 8 miles maybe, west of Redmond.  It is the go to place for the summer, Sade and i have gone a number o times already to walk around the loop. So she was familiar with the place when we drove up and was all excited to get out!!

 

 

 The girls have grown so much this year! I no longer get to watch after them as they are fine by themselves. Rylie is 13 and Ava is 11.

Cline Falls is a great place for kids as it is shallow enough for them to be in the water and it flows fairly fast, but not too fast, so floating is a fun ride ... and they don't have to be watched like a hawk the whole time...

We were always going there on picnics, taking my grandma Larrance, then taking my parents, then just Mom.. went alot when i was in high school, it as a great place to cool off after a day in the mint fields hoeing out weeds... 

 

This is after bottle.  She was really active, moving all around and  stretching..

 

It was just a nice, nice afternoon, sitting in the shade, listening to the water flow by and the laughter of people  on the river .. talking about the kids and life in general..

She doesn't have the BOO in her mouth all the time... she was just starting to be a bit cranky and was ready for her bottle...

She is such a darling little baby, sorry for the always pics of her

But that's my life, dog and baby ;)

bbq

 Kids had a nice BBQ on Sunday after they got home from a week at the beach...

Got to feed Novah

She  is holding herself up really well and sturdy, gets a little wobbly when she gets tired :) sleeps 8-10 hours at nite... was awake for almost the whole time i was there this time!

There were 4 babies there and one of the mothers (of twins) is preggars again!!! 

Made my baked beans, there is never any leftovers!!!

Have been having long, lazy, hot days. Try to stay inside as much as possible.

Nothing is accomplished,,, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? 

You know, i did nothing but sit in the shade, but it was so hot, it was tiring.. slept really well that nite! 

Got  pedi..

We are having our 60th class reunion this summer,     class of '65... geez!!!

Take Care All and God Bless
