Happy Birthday & Follow Friday Four Fill-in Fun

Hello Friends~
Long time no see! It is Saturday and I haven\’t been around all week because I have been swamped.  Really, swamped…
Anyways, today is our  daughters birthday! She is 20 years old today and she is having a great day!  Shopping all day in Providence with me and a party tonight!  Yeah!!!!

So Happy Birthday my dear daughter!  This is a picture of my Mom, me, my daughter and the little one!  I think my daughter looks just like my mother! 

I wanted to do this yesterday but here we go…

My friend, Hilary, at Feeling Beachie, is having a welcome to the first weekly Follow Friday Four Fill-in Fun Blog Hop.
Each week, she will plan on listing four statements with a blank for you to fill in on your own blogs. If you want to join the fun and come up with four fill in’s of your own, please email them to Hilary at feelingbeachie@gmail.com If she use\’s them, Hilary will add you as co-host to the hop! 

This week’s statements:

1) I can’t help it, but every time I go to the grocery store, I buy one lottery ticket!  OK, I\’m really not a gambler, but someone has to win the million dollars, right!

2) No one believes I like blogging and antiquing as much as I do.

3) My knees are my least favorite part of my physical appearance.

4) The first time I cooked for my significant other, I made home made spaghetti.

Have a great day,,,I have to get ready for the birthday party!!

xxoo

Run Buffy, Run

You  sure can\’t run from all this snow we are having!  Just another couple of inches today and hopefully rain at the end of week!
Thanks for all the kind comments yesterday! Everything is back to normal and the insurance adjuster is coming out next week to look at all the snow/water damage, which of course the nanny had nothing to do with that! LOL  I just heard of a good remedy tonight at a meeting I was at.  Someone mentioned to put ice melting pellets, IE: calcium chloride,  in nylons and put it in your gutters and the ice is gone? I will have to do some research on this~Also, I will have to put gutters on my house…that could be a problem!  We didn\’t put them back on after we had new shingles on the roof last year.
Have a great day!

Could it be?

Hi Friends, is it me or could this be the Loch Ness Monster of Grand Cayman? 
I can see it, can you?
Well we are back home and this is how my last two days went…
1)  We had hired a new doggy nanny…and when we walked in at 11:30PM…
2)  House was a complete mess…if you know what I mean…OMD, I cried…
3)  Yes, the animals were well and VERY happy to see us!  That is important.
4) I started cleaning at midnight (went to sleep about two thirty) and finished the next day.
5)  My girlfriend had to come over and help me.  I was overwhelmed.
6) Huge water damage in the house…My son\’s new room that we just did over
had a flood from the snow and his new floor lifted and the wall was damaged.
7) My office and bathroom, severe water damage.  In my office, it wasn\’t where the ice was, it was the opposite side.  
8)  Greenhouse collapsed from snow.
9)  Did I mentioned that a door in our house was broken??? I big piece broken off???
I forgot to ask her what happened.
10)  Paid doggy nanny and she said it was a lot work…I wanted to ask her 
what she did, but I didn\’t.
11)  Learned a huge lesson…Only hire professionals with GREAT references!
I\’m over the shock of it now and my home is back to normal…nice and clean!  If you  can only imagine…
Have a great day!
xxoo
