musings

 Here we be... the last entry got cut off, don't what was happening with the system here.  the new computer is working well, no snafus for me at least. our snow is for the most part gone... went to Sisters Sunday, needed to get out.  took some scraps for the chickens. they are always happy to see me.  they had alot more snow than we did down here in the 'flats' and once i got off the pavement back into their place, it was a little dicey in some places.. slippery mostly. and in the shade of course.

Yesterday was the 1st day that Sade went out into the yard, she stayed mostly where i had swept. but she can walk on the top of the snow! and most was melted down to almost nothing. she has not been happy with her yard.. 

Went to Bend today, had to go to Carter's!! they have the cutest, most durable looking/feeling clothing..  then to the Quilt Basket as i want to make a quilted baby  blanket, the pattern is just different sized squares, i should be able to handle that and quilt in the joining.. it is bear themed material and really cute, got a kit, all the material had already been cut except for the backing, that was extra  , of course! but 15% off if bought on same day as got the kit..  so that was good. also got a couple smaller projects to begin and get in the groove, so to speak. i guess making the receiving blankets should have done that. Then had to go to TJ Max and get a basket, or something to put all of this in and found a cute laundry  canvas basket thing that will work and be useful, i hope.

Also went to see friend, Carol.. took her some mail to burn in her stove.  when i was taking the paper she used that to start her woodstove, but i stopped that, so  now am saving mail and papers we don't need. we chatted for awhile as had not seen her since b4 the snow, so   that was fun...

This computer does not heat up at all and the keys are bigger, too. win-win

Have a bunch of appointments this week and once again have to go to Walgreens, wait in line twice to get my calcitrol, which has run out again.  AND has anyone  had refunds from medicare cut drastically, i pay a certain amount for chiropractor then medicare and my co-insurance pay a portion of that back to me, and that has halved what it was last year...  i guess i should be glad i get any back and there will be more to claim for medical on taxes, but geez.. then am supposed to go to Seaside for a basketball tournament but may end up staying to care for the dogs and chickens as they are having a hard time finding someone, and Kevin needs to go more than me. which i really don't mind, being helpful in that way -it is just SO boring being there in someone else's house, by myself.. and nothing to do.. maybe i will start a crochet project to keep me busy.. want to do a white thread doily for neighbor dining table for next xmas

Almost March already.. the 2nd is my Mom's birthday .  she has been gone almost 20 years, that seems impossible

 

 

 She is getting to to be such a pretty Doxie. Her coloring is getting darker and her chest bigger. and she is staying small overall.  she is done with her first heat, so have to make appointment to have her spayed. hopefully mid March.

She trys so hard to understand what i say to her, tilts her head back and forth, especially when i am explaining to her how she is supposed to behave, contrary to how she is behaving, it is so darn cute!! and she looks right at me

Its 8:30pm and she is already asleep.. went to the couch as i was moving around too much for her.  She has certainly done her job, filling the hole in my heart.

Well, guess that is it.

Take Care and God Bless
