Sophia, Such a Good Eater

Sophia came home with me last night after I finished working at Edward Jones. She had rice and Red beans, applesauce, Pomergrante Blueberry juice, and soybeans. I mean she cleaned her plate! She was really enjoying the soybeans, squeezing them from the pod and eating them. She got the bright idea that she would squeeze a bunch out and then eat them. That is a smile not a grimmace she is showing in the picture where she is eating applesauce. I was amazed that she ate the soybeans, but she didn't have any outside influence to think that they were not yummy! Wonder what I could try next time?

Mo's Landscape 2/25/08

Melissa decided to take matters into her own hands, since my River Rock Path was not moving fast enough for her. I had a ton of rocks that I needed to move to the backyard, which I am trying to transform. I have a shady corner in the backyard, and I want to make it into a tropical garden jungle. That is, if KiKi will stop digging the plants up as quick as I plant them. Lucky for me, Melissa did not have a teaching job, so we were able to move the rest of the rocks to the backyard. If anyone has any suggestions about keeping dogs away from plants, let me know. I actually am thinking about putting a fence across the back to partiton that area from KiKi. Now i need to get rid of that pile of mulch that you see in the background. That will be my project for next week after our cold spell.

KiKi and Finley 02/18/08

KiKi is overjoyed to have a new playmate, especially one that is smaller than she is! She was hopping all over the place trying to sniff Finley. Finally they relaxed for just a moment, so we could get some shots. KiKi better take advantage of Finley's size because I don't think he is going to stay that size for long.

Family Portrait

What a fine looking Family. KiKi is growing up so fast. We had this made thru the Fire Department, it was a fund raiser for them.

Alumni Week 2/2/08

Dick came down for a visit while his Friends, Dorthy and Randall were visiting in Florida.

While they were here they put together my new table.

Fortunately we had a beautiful weekend.Virgil came down on a surprise visit.

Snowy Walk......1/08

Wouldn't you know it! It started snowing today while Joyce and I went on our Walk. It seems everytime I visit Maryland it snows. Luckily by the time we returned to the house it had stopped, it was like a squall that came up the Severn and down the Bay.

Visit to Maryland

We met Dick's Family for lunchat the Art Museum. This is Dick's sister Barb and her son-in-law Ed

KiKi and her Buddy

Dick said he was trying to get KiKi to look at the camera.

I think KiKi does an OK job without His help.

Furniture Arrives!

Paige started receiving furniture it drips and draps after her Birthday. I believe it arrived in four different mailings. The big discussion was over which room was meant to be the bathroom and which was to be the kitchen. Emma presented her arguments, but after all it was Paige's Dollhouse so that won out over Logic that Emma tried to explain why it should be the yellow room on the first floor. This is a view of what you would see if you were a doll laying in your bed. Paige makes more decisions about the furniture placements.
