Yesterday was my birthday and I had a "birthday party". We celebrated two birthdays yesterday, mine and my sister-in-law's. Her birthday was a couple of weeks ago but I wanted to make our party on a weekend that they had the kids and we had recently been paid. We had a lot of funI chose a game Saturday that I figured everyone could play together. It was called Beat the Parents. It was kids versus the adults, which was perfect! We all played it and had a great time. Chuck had gotten a couple of small carrot cakes while I was in church on Sunday morning, they were really good and I still have almost a full cake left so it is a good thing they were really good.
Saturday we had Lilly groomed. She looks so much cuter now! She looks a lot smaller and happier than she looked before, and she smells really good now that I do not mind sleeping with her at all now! We not only had Lilly trimmed up but we had Gracie's nails clipped as well. So they both looked so pretty for Sunday.

Hurray, it is warmer
Boy I haven't been on here in a while! It did finally starting to warm up though so now I can spend more time on the computer. Been in the upper 50s with only some patches of snow left on the ground. Yay, it is about time but unfortunately it is to drop back down to the 30s by the end of the week. *Sigh*Is Spring ever going to get here?
Everyone is doing good around here. I finally got my wheelchair back from the repair shop a couple of weeks ago. It is about time I get it back, after all they have had it in the repair shop since early November! I was starting to get very tired of the loner chair I was using in the meantime. It just do not fit right and I was missing being able to tilt back.
We were having trouble this winter keeping the dogs inside of the fence. The snow was getting high enough to cover the chicken wire that we had run across the bottom so the small dogs couldn't get out, so the dogs would walk through the big square holes like nothing was there. That would make us nervous because the roads were icy and we were in no hurry to have to bury another dog so soon after Bebe. We are still having trouble keeping our dogs in, and are going to have to invest more money into more chicken wire for the fence. I want to be able to go sit on my porch and enjoy the warmer weather without having to worry about the dogs so much. My cat does nothing but sleep all day, but once Chuck comes home he wakes right up and starts purring and eating. Which is weird because Chuck yells at him all of the time!
My parents are now living in Colorado and I haven't ever seen their house since they moved several years ago but in pictures. As a matter of fact, I have not even been to Colorado in over a decade! My parents have always been the ones to come down (more like come up) to see me and they have been trying to convince us to come out. Here recently they told me that they would pay for our trip there this year and take it out of the money that they would have used to come see me anyways. Chuck said he would fly since they are paying for it. That surprised me because he is so afraid to fly! But I am so happy because this means that we will get there so much faster now, instead of spending three days in a car... which really screws up my sugar and my back. So we are planning a trip over there on September 5 and staying until the 12th. I really can't wait to go!
A few weeks ago Chuck broke a couple of ribs and fractured a couple of other ones. How you may ask? He fell off the roof... being a stupid, careless, thoughtless man! His back had been bothering him for a couple of days but once it started feeling better, he decided to clean out the chimney. The snow was going through a melting patch and therefore our porch was really icy. His ladder slid out from under him, and he fell off the roof taking the gutter with him and he hit the side of the lawnchair and fell face first into the snow. He was in a lot of pain whenever he would use the left side of his body. I told him that he probably broke some ribs, but of course he refused to believe me. Finally two days later, he went to the hospital and was told that he had broke some ribs! He is doing lots better now, but is still taking it easy... he walks like an 80-year-old man and gets up and down off of the couch like a 9-month pregnant woman! Makes me chuckle every time I see this, lol!!
