The snow is melting

Disgusting melting snow

The disgusting melted snow in the backyard.  It is so muddy out there and at some parts of the yard with the melted snow, it’s almost ankle deep with water.  Yuck!!!!

Ugly thing….I want the snow to go real fast since it’s so gross and makes the boys dirty.  It is getting old cleaning them up each time they are out there!

Melting snow is the time to pick up doggie piles.  DB was busy picking them piles up when I got home from work.  He even managed to drag the two Mr. Charbroil out.  Time for some queing and smoking of ribs!!!  Yummy!!

Coops and his stick

With the snow melting, a retriever gets busy….looking for his favorite thing to do.  Looking out for sticks to chew them up.

And finally, a clump of cummulus cloud all by itself in the clear blue sky waiting for the 45mph wind to blow it away.  A few more days of clear skies, 49F degrees temps, the snow will be down to nothing.  But….all these snow are going away for the next snow storm that the forecasters are predicting for next week.  DB kept saying that during the NCAA (college basketball championship) tournament, there is always a snow storm. Last year we had about 16 inches of snow and were gone within 2 days.  Will it happen this year? 

Nadine’s new TV

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Yep, Nadine finally bought a flat screen for their family room.  The Panasonic flat screen high definition has gorgeous pictures, so sharp, clear compare to our CRT TV.  Mike her hubby is now looking for HDMI switches to connect their flat screen to the satelite receiver. Nadine told me she will do the shopping and the hubby will take care of setting it up for her.   What a life she has.  I told her I will go over to her house one fine weekend to watch a stock car race on her new TV which she is game for it.

This was how Chase was most of the day yesterday.  It must be the medication the vet gave him for his pain that was making him so out of it. 

When he came in the house yesterday morning, he was more cautious of his movements.  I was already at work when he came, so all these updates were from DB.  I asked him how was Chase with the two boys, he said Coops was sniffing the little fella out and the little one is not as hyper as he was the other day.  DB said “Situation normal” when I talked to him, 4 hours after Chase arrived.

That’s how my boys are when I get home from work every day – all over me as if I’m going to leave them, especially Coops who is on my left.   He is one jealous dog.  If I pet Ranger first, he will try to sneak his way to me and when I was petting Chase, Coops would try to step in front of me or like what he is doing in the picture.

Side income

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

There is one thing I do not like to but is jewelry.  I am not a person who likes jewelry very much.  I go for the basic type of jewelry that is a pair of ear rings and a ring.  But not my colleague, Jamie.  She is now into designer jewelry, more like selling them like how the Amway folks sells their products.  These jewelries are very pretty but I just cannot bring myself to buy them.  They are not cheap either, but Ms. E said they are very good quality jewelry for the price you pay.  I know for sure Jamie is making good side income from this side job.
