WMBBD is 11...


Liljegren's Suncoast Bella

We're going to spend today, and this weekend celebrating Bella's eleventh birthday. She's the best girl, and she deserves all the affection we can give her. There shall be treats, too.

Look at her face. You can see where loving in her has rubbed off black, and now her face sparkles. Old dogs are the best. 

Happy birthday, beautiful Bella. We love you very much.

Ugh!...


I've been attempting to write a blog post for today on my desktop since yesterday, and it's continuing to give me grief. I fear I'm going to have to bite down and transfer everything to Handsome's unused (newer) machine in the near future. (This post has been published through my iPhone.) 

And, here I had pantry photos edited and ready to share today.  So, please forgive me. I'll try again later to put up that post for tomorrow. Instead, I'm going to bake bread...or take a walk. I'll be back tomorrow - one way or another. Happy Friday!

February Classmate Dinner...

Front l-r: Deb B. Lisa, Brad, Bruce and Janet. Back: John, Cal, Dan and Deb N, Donna and Handsome, and Max

We had another classmate dinner yesterday, and this time we had three couples attending. Dan and Deb, and Janet and Max both started dating when we were all in high school (I think Janet and Max started in junior high), and got married after graduation. Of course, Handsome and I were the third couple. Two of our group are widowed, and the rest are married, too, but their spouses didn't attend.

It was pretty much guys on one end of the long table set up and gals on the other, but we chatted back and forth. As always, it was nice to see everyone and find out who's getting ready for a trip, or what else is going on. Deb and Dan will be gone for a month on vacation out West, so we'll miss them next month. 

The temperature got into the mid-50s Wednesday with plenty of sun, so we all looked forward to getting out to visit. The weather won't hold like this though. After all, it is February in Wisconsin, home of the Frozen Tundra. We know that it's going to get cold - and snow at least once more. Shelly always says that the robins have to be snowed on at least five times before Spring actually arrives for real. We make the most of the good days when we can.

I'm taking the WMBBD to the vet for a diagnostic appointment today, and then I'm going in to work for a couple hours to cover for my boss who's getting ready to leave on vacation tomorrow. I've been working on a 30-minute daily purge program (getting rid of stuff), so I'll do that again for a bit when I get home from work. Then, I'm going to stitch for a while. I'll be back tomorrow to share the latest. See you then!
