Stitching & Reading

I stitiched on Bent Creek and finished the Easter square. I have started on the Christmas square now. I decided to do it next. I have Halloween and Thanksgiving left when it is finished. I watched 'It' while I stitched. I started reading The Gunslinger by Stephen King. It is the first book in the Dark Tower Series.

Snow day!

We are out of school again for an ice storm. Some people in our area did not get power until this past Sunday, nearly a week after the last storm. They are predicting 1/4 - 1" of ice before this system is out tomorrow evening. We are staying in and staying warm. I plan on stitching on Bent Creek holiday snapper series again today. I worked on it some the other evening. I have almost finished the Easter square, about 30 more minutes. I think Halloween is next. I am going to watch 'It' while I stitch. I finished reading 'Duma Key' by Stephen King the other day. It was really good. Not sure what I will read next. Link, the #1 Chi is asleep on my right foot. He has played all morning and has decided to nap on my foot so if I get up, he will know. He follows my every step. He's a sweetie.

What's New

An Ice storm hit us on Tuesday. Many roads were blocked by huge trees and power is out to more than 8000 families including our oldest daughter. They are here. The grandbabies think it's great fun! They are feeling better after having the flu, ear infections and broncitis. Link the #1 Chihuahua is doing great. He loves to play and snuggle. The cat is not as impressed with his cutie pie smile. She snarls her nose and ruffles her fur. Link just laughs and takes off. He's trying really hard to get her to play tag but she refuses. DH got me the new Stephen King book, Duma Key for my birthday. I started it the other day. So far...Great! http://www.goodreads.com/ is a great place to list the books you have read and to review others have posted. Add friends or keep your site private. I am a life time book worm. I love books and I have enjoyed listing mine as a way to know what I read. I do know there are probably hundreds I have read over the years but have not added yet. If you like horror, try Duma Key.

Link is here!

Yesterday was a big day! Poor Link had a 2 hour car ride but did not seem to mind at all! He slept in the teen's arm all the way home. We took a new pet carrier but I don't think it will ever be used. lol DD #2 and grand daughter had put a banner across the front of our house that said, "Welcome Home Link" and they had drawn on it. It was adorable. We had everything all ready for Link. He was so cute checking everything out. He had a light lunch and fresh water. He is definately paper trained. I showed him where it was and so far no accidents! DD # 2 and grand daughter came for a visit. Then we went to visit Grandmother and Grandfather, and Grandmother took pics. Later we went to visit DD #1, grandson and grand daughter. She took pics. also. We kept all visits short and got back home. Link is such a cute puppy and I am very happy he is now a part of our family! He slept in the teen's bed last night. She got up at 5:30 and took him to his paper, which he used. This morning I got up and went and got him for breakfast. He ate and ran speedy quick to his paper. He is really smart! The inside cat has not warmed up to Link but Link really wants to be her friend. Link loves to be held! Right now he is dozing beside me. This pic is from Joyce, I don't have mine down loaded yet. He is so sweet and loving.

Welcome Link!

Today is Link's moving in day! We will be going to meet Joyce at 10:30 this morning! We have everything ready. DD and I made a trip to E & L Pets last night. We bought his Diamond puppy food, a new food dish, a new water bottle and a new toy! My 3 year old grand daughter and her mommy & daddy met us at the pet store. We had alot of fun picking out Links supplies. We also had fun looking at all the animals. lol The baby was so cute helping us choose. She came across the book section which was very interesting to her. She kept handing me books with different animals telling me, "You need this Mo-mmi" We also bought a new swing and a new ladder for the canary. I'm off the get ready now. Time for a road trip!
