Birthdays and Whisker Tickles

It's been a busy weekend. My sister arrived about noontime on Friday just after my computer class so we headed out to lunch and to get a pedicure. Sooooooo relaxing, I could have fallen asleep. It's fun to go with someone and talk and giggle. Next we hit TJ Maxx as it is one of our favorite stores for household goods. I didn't find anything I wanted but she found some nice Red So*cks hoodies for her grandsons.

Saturday morning my friend Ann and I went to the stable as we always do. The guys are starting to shed so we got lots of hair off them. They so need a bath but it is still way too cold to even think about that. Plus with all the hair they still have it would be a disaster trying to dry them out. Of course they would go right out in the arena and roll anyway!

Saturday evening we had T's birthday party for the family here. She had a sleep over on Friday night with 7 of her little friends and they had a blast. Everyone did well, no one got homesick and had to go home in the middle of the night which was good.

Miss T is a child that always appreciates everything you do for her. It makes it fun to shop for her on birthdays and Christmas etc...

Modeling one of her new spring outfits for us.

She loves clothes and got quite a few outfits for school and church. She was so happy with her yarn and has been knitting away. Her teacher said she did a really good job demonstrating how to knit for the rest of the class. She also loved the Saddle Club Bryer horse. Do any of your boys and girls watch Saddle Club?

D likes sitting on Grampies shoulders and getting whisker tickles.

He just giggles and giggles!

Speaking of Mr. D I forgot to mention what he got me for Valentine's Day. He was out shopping with Grampie and saw boxes of chocolates and wanted to get some for me and his Mom. The one he got his Mom was a nice big heart with lots of yummy candy in it. The one he picked out for me was a smaller box but it had a Snoopy stuffed toy on it. He knows that I like Snoopy so he wanted that one. Well.........when it came Valentines Day he came over with Snoopy and no chocolates! LOL!! He ate them before he got here! LOL! I thought it was a riot and was more then happy with the Snoopy and my hips really didn't need the chocolates anyhow!! :o)

Here is a shot of the cake. I was a really bad Grammie and didn't make one myself as I had company and my kitchen is all torn up. Can't find anything! This one tasted pretty good anyhow.

They had fun riding their scooters down in the playroom. They can go from their playroom into the basement under my parents apartment, around through Hubby's office, through my sewing room and back to the playroom so it makes a nice track. You need to stand clear though or you'll be roadkill!

Today after church we went out for lunch and on the way home FIL saw 25 deer going through our neighborhood! Wow! I put out some extra grain for them as that's a lot of mouths to feed. It's nice that the snow is down enough so that they can move around and not be restricted to the deer yard. They look amazing well for having such a snowy winter. Further north they took a really bad hit from such a hard winter but the ones here did very well. We sit in the evening and watch them eat their grain and the birdseed that has fallen on the ground.

Tomorrow was the day they were supposed to start on my kitchen but the contractor told me at church this morning that it will be Thursday. That is the day we leave for Puerto Rico so I will give them a key. My sister is going to help me get all the frozen things put out in the freezer in the garage tonight and we will get some more boxes tomorrow to pack what's left in the cupboards.

Guess that's it for tonight. I hope to get one more post written before we leave on Thursday. I will be taking LOTS of pictures in Puerto Rico as we have never been there before. I am really looking forward to it.

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!!
