Welcome 2010

So, it's 2010.... Here is how it started out for me... I got up on time... early actually ready to get back to a normal routine since Bob's death.... I get just about out of Milford City limits... and realize I forgot my shoes!!!... Yes, forgot my shoes... No, I wasn't shoeless... I had on my crocks... and they are a huge no no at the office... so I HAD to turn around and get my "legal" shoes.... Then I get up just about to work and realize I was out of gas.. LOL... but I got my shoes, made it to the gas station and was only 20minutes late for work... :)
and now
I'm home with the fluuuuuuuuuuuuu....

It's raining again today... PLEASE no more water in the basement... !!!
It's the last day of December.... I wonder what 2010 has in store......
Some random new pictures of Kai-son.... long lanky pooch right now.... He'll be 7months old tomorrow... He is now taller and longer and weighs more than Maxx... (who will be 9years old in March)
Sorry the coloring is off on them... I was trying to play with settings... Kai-son is more on the blackish color than the brown
It was VERY low tide

Taking a break from digging

I wasn't joking when I said low tide... LOL---he almost blends in...

Looking into the marsh

Imagination....

We woke up to 2 inches of water in the basement ... AGAIN; today... It just happened the week before Bob died.... but that time was a combination of our hot water heater going at the same time we had alllll that rain and it was more than our french drain and sump pump could handle... Well, with the snow melting and the rain a day or so ago... we ended up with our shoes floating again....
So, I decided to retreat my mind ... in a sense... ;) after baking some cookies and popping some popcorn (too make sure Nate has some munchies for the next day or so)...
I turned on the tv for some background noise as I attempt to lose myself into something photographic as Nate is trying to shop vac the basement to assist the sump pump....
One of my favorite movies... The Chronicels of Narnia... (The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe) is on!!!... LOVE IT
I LOVE the imagination.... (well, naturally the creative happy go lucky type... not the creatively gory and gross kind)....

I love the mind ...

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE

So,.... Today is Nate's 34th birthday... A KID STILL!!!... LOL...
I love it when I watch people meeting him for the first time.... it makes me chuckle.. no matter where someone works or or how they are dressed or where we are shopping is he ever without conversation... he is SUCH a people person.... he has a natural talent to make people laugh
It was tough for him today without Bob... he is trying so hard to "be strong"... and he is SOOOO strong... but today there was definately a heaviness for the first time... it's starting to set in... and he'll be ok... He still had fun today... he laughed, he cried.... it was heartbreaking and nice at the same time... something that makes our bond grow stronger.... Hes a good man... a great friend... and a good husband...
I don't have many pictures on me at the moment... but I don't like to leave a post without one....
Happy Birthday Nate... Love you
