February Closing!

Feb 27th

After an enjoyable lunch with once coworker Nestor, we walked Freshco (my first time there) and found some awesome sales.  Plus my desired herring in tomato sauce and various types of saurekraut in small/medium sized jars in their huge International section. Might have my fried saurekraut and garlic sausage one of these days!  Then back to the pets and cutting out various pieces for the RCMP quilt I've been asked to sew up.  So next week I'll start sewing up some of these and eventually cut the remaining pieces required as needed!

They look so innocent here!  HAH!!!!  Wheeler is tooting something fierce, Griffin just about bites my fingers off and Jake screams something fierce when it's treat time!  Not the innocents as pictured here all together, a not so common occurance!

Feb 28th

Watching my first Toronto Blue Jays spring baseball season AND tatting another Angel! Crew are all napping so quiet time for me, for now!
Jays won 5-4.  YEAH!!!

Suppers finished for all of us, dogs cooling off a bit, me enjoying my wine while watching men's curling!  🥌🥌🥌🥌🥌🥌

February 22nd - 25th

Feb 22nd

He won't let me entice him into his pen or kennel without working at it but here he's wanting attention!!!  Go figure!!!  🤗🤗🤗

So dang cute!!!

❤❤❤

It's a weird day that's for sure!  One pet owner is leaving Winnipeg in an hour for Cuba and the other is boarding in Jamaica heading back home!  And I'm stuck in the middle checking on both sets of pets this afternoon to late evening!  Thankfully the weather is nice for this!  Recordings are set so I won't miss anything!!!  Ohhhh yeah I missed the noon Jets game!  Dang it!

I hope I'm in the right place as my head is a mish mash!  🙄  I started my day with Fred and Bubba, the afternoon and supper with Jake, Griffin and Wheeler, then back for the evening with Fred and Bubba who was quite playful bringing me his toys!  I said good night to Fred and Bubba and arrived for a late snack with Jake, Griffin and Wheeler!  I'm tired but wired!!!!  Tomorrow I'm staying put!

Feb 23rd

More angels are flying away!  I'm not happy with the larger topaz glass beads.  I'll stick to smaller ones in future, also try some pearl bead ones too!

OMGG I've not seen this pose in sleep before OR realized Griffin had such lovely colouring. Wheeler down in the entrance snoozing! Jake's downstairs somewhere!

I just received an email from Elianis, a waitress in Cuba I've befriended last year, who today met up with my friends at Luna Mares today.  She too loves my tatted angel gift!  Hope the girls are enjoying their return to that part of earthy Heaven!!!

Feb 24th

Hey this would work for any high traffic deer areas except fences need to be higher!  Would enhance the yard appearance too!

OMGG it takes me longer to get ready to set the dishes in front of them than for the crew to wolf it all down!!!

Feb 25th

Ohhhh I'm feeling blue not being in Cuba again with my friends!  Well maybe another time it will happen again!

 

Having a quiet afternoon, except for the crew wanting supper since 3pm, making more sand dollar angels with some of Michelle's donated jewelry items!  Thank you Michelle!!!

A rejuvenating glass!

My awesome supper and the journal I bought today for $4.49 for my journal for my summer excursions!!!

These guys are something else!  Wheeler doesn't want to come in and have to bribe him - I think he's got my number!  But I've broken the biscuit smaller so it's not a full bribe!  HA HA!!!

Griffin

Wheeler

Wheeler with sqeakie toys once again!

Gosh so regal looking!

Packing Up Day!

Feb 21st

Like this one too!

OMGG I'm always fussy cutting to get the right placement but matching up these small hexies took some time and repositioning before I was happy.  Next time I'm cutting the larger ones to size and sewing the outside columns together and matching the smaller cuts - less waste that way.  Since I've now bought and washed all the fabrics this week, next week I'll start cutting out the basic pieces and leaving the smaller hexies to cut as needed.  And then the sewing will begin on this adapted 5-yard quilt pattern - block size is 12" finished.  🤗🤗🤗

It's starting, partial payments have started too!

Second part is a few days here with Margreet De Reus!  I can't wait to finally meet you in person June 17th!

Last part before heading home is a few days in Shakespeare's home visiting with Jane Eborall, again finally meeting in person June 21st or 22nd!!!

Feb 22nd

It's packing up day and I'm very glad Fred seems more agile today!  Yesterday he couldn't get off the couch except sliding off it! 

I felt so sorry for him as his arthritis was acting up! Today he even came to me for a back massage and outside with Bubba too.

I love how they share the water dish after coming back in!

OMGG!!!  Zero and Fred just changed rooms until that interfering vacuum shut down!  Fred still does but this PUP backed up in front of it barking louder than the machine!!!  SHEESH my headache intensified until Fred took pity on me and headed outside!  It was funny, Bubba backing up still barking at the vacuum as he followed him out.  Mucho better!  Then I called Fred back in and he hustled and laid back down with his treat!  Bubba in the chair with me!

More Packed Days!

Feb 18th

OMGG this pup is one heck of a character and chewing sticks always, never mind his toys! Tonight he's bugging Fred, trying to get the tennis ball from him!  If Fred looses it and Bubba grabs it, he lets it go, but it's too big for Bubba to hold for long and then Fred pounces getting it back!  Well then the game was on till Fred had enough, growled then Bubba took off doing circles around the house full bore!  Fred just lying there!  🤣🤣🤣 

Bubba keeps coming out chewing skinny sticks, like from a dried up orchid stick????  So I go searching, well the stinker is breaking up the laundry basket!  It's now on the high bed that he can't jump onto yet.  OK that's curtailed, now Bubba is growling at Fred for the ball!  SHEESH yep just like kids!!!!  🙄😜🙃 

I had enough, yelled, he looked at me, backed up and laid down and now napping, snoring too!  That was FAST!!!

Feb 19th

This morning I was not a happy camper!  Fred snuck by to the living room and at 4:30 started barking scaring the BJeeZus out of me, nothing from Bubba!  So got him back to bed but I tossed and turned waiting to hear Bubba wanting to go out!  Guess he wore himself out yesterday as he slept till 6 when he wanted out!  Then all back to bed but no sleep for me - UGH!!!

It's my fault today not Bubba's for his messing his pen, first time since Saturday.  My appointments went a might longer than I thought and I came back to let him out before picking up my new prescription!  Won't be doing that again if it can be helped.  So after supper we relaxed watching curling together during his chewie episode!  Both are napping again!  Maybe I should be too!

WELL, it looks like I just may get the two projects finished before Friday for Pat to take to Dryden for Sylvia to drop off for me!  And again guessed just enough binding for the project!  My hard drive still is not reconnected and I don't feel like tackling it right now so my label is by pigma pen!
