Good morning!!

I didn't get my marshmallows done yesterday, so today's the day. They're for the 1-year old's b'day on Saturday so I have to get them done early, as they have to stay in the pan overnight. Then I have to compile a grocery list for the 'stuff' I have to make for the party...this sure is keeping our DD and Hubby, his parents and us busy! We're up to 20 guests, mostly family who haven't met little "Georgia" yet.

Have a great day everyone!

Finished my pink marshmallows and waiting for either Hubby to show up after golf, so that I can hop into the shower...I've been waiting for a delivery from FedEx and you just know that if I was showering, THAT would be the time they show up!

Where on earth is Walkonby the past few days??? Is she hiding out somewhere? I hope everything's okay......

Wow, you're ambitious @Lynn49 . I'm impressed.

Good morning every1.

Good morning every1.

...it's not an arduous task, @22hicks , but I sure do have a knack of getting marshmallow fluff over most of my kitchen and myself! Sticky stuff everywhere. Wiped down what couldn't go into the dishwasher, left to soak anything else that could be moved. The toughest part is waiting until tomorrow to cut into them! Naturally the very edge must be sampled for scientific analysis of flavour before it's fit for presentation to the birthday guests...!

If we were to try looking at life through rosé coloured glasses, I wonder if we will see more clearly.

Oh!Oh! Pick me!! I can answer that!

ABSOLUTELY you would!

[Lynn49]

Ok. Now this is getting serious! WHERE is Walks?!! I'm starting to get worried....

[dededi]

maybe she's gone for a walk...(...Yes, I said it! )

[Lynn49]

Good morning, everyone!!

Well I was up early!! Jenny woke up at 7:30, sat up, laid back down and kicked me, so I thought she had to get up, so I washed up and when I went back in, she had crawled under all the covers on my side of the bed! SHE didn't want to get up, she wanted ME out of bed so she could have the warm spot!!! She's still sleeping!
I want to get her up shortly so that I can turn out the marshmallows and cut them up without interruption. Brat.

I hope everyone has an absolutely wonderful day!!

Well, I am back from the Prosthetic Clinic. What I have is a temporary fix that will hopefully help me to get around better. I am not walking very well & it's hard getting around on a leg that is not fitting in a safe, practical & comfortable way. It will be back to the old drawing board & getting a new prosthesis. I need to go with a secure system & one that will serve me well. It has been a long time since my life has been normal & regular. I'm having coping problems big time.

Hoping for the very best for U Loocie, you are a real TROOPER.

Hugs to you, Loocie! Can't even imagine the challenges you face in a day!

Good news from DH's oncologist today - his tumour blood markers haven't changed and are still down. So, no more chemo for another 2 months then he will have another CT scan in October.

Today after a crazy 24 hours of e-mails, we drove to Windsor to adopt OUR NEW DOG! YAY!

But - she is an almost 3 year old female mini-schnauzer! She is coming to us from a South Korean Family who have to return to South Korea and can't take her. BUT - she speaks Korean - nobody speaks English very well except a grand-daughter who is studying in the US who has been trying to 3-way translate. AND she is NOT SPAYED and has recently gone through heat.
That would the dog is not spayed - not the grand-daughter- grammar- sentence construction- sorry Nat and Lynn- I know it drives you crazy!

We will get her spayed but I think she might be still in heat and I have NO IDEA how to handle this, except to keep her away from the dog park!

She is only 9 lb. and is a real cutie. She is picking up our commands pretty quickly. We'll see how the night goes. She apparently is used to sleeping in her own "bed." We have a crate and may try her in there, but there is NO WAY ON EARTH that she could jump up on our bed - she has tiny legs!

My husband went to the store and she wanted to spend the whole time lying at the front door. I am taking her out every 2 - 2.5 hours and that has been working well. When I tell her not to bark, she listens. I am trying to have her "heel" which seems to be a new idea to her. They let us know as we went along that she is a bit "naughty" and has some separation issues.

I feel like my friend who swore after she had been divorced that she would never marry a man who had any children and then fell in love and married a man who had 5!

No way were we going to get a dog with issues - but - here she is - and she's a cutie!

Her Korean name is Gunggong which apparently means, "Bundle of Love."

We've called her Sadie. We tried "Heidi" for half the ride home but she just didn't look like a "Heidi" to me, so she is "Sadie." "Sadie-Mae" I think.

I'm so excited to have a new little furry friend!

You can quote me on that later!

I'll say good night. - Lynn - I can't imagine making marshmellows! You are something else, woman! Toasting raisin bread is "gourmet" in my book!

Sadie is sitting on her pillow being good while my DH eats his supper. She did the same for me when I ate a little earlier.

DB and his family are at the Blue Jays game. We are watching it off and on. I more "off" - DH more "on." I'm keeping my eye on Sadie to make sure she STAYS being a good girl!

Thanks for any suggestions!
