Alaska trek 2015

Yesterday we had snow!  

This morning Sarah made another trip to Alaska!!  

First stop Juno!!

Then off to the arctic circle and hurry back home!!

Into the house and covered with a warm towel. 

Traveling in snow is not easy.

My Hero!!

My Jerry does NOT like cold. When he worked in Libya he really enjoyed the 140 degree summers-that's what he said. 

But this snow he really doesn't like AT ALL. I can tell by the way he doesn't say much about it. 

There he goes to get the mail. It's cold and still snowing but my hero went and got the mail. 

SNOW!!!

Front yard at 8.29 am. More coming!!

It's HOT inside

We have been warned about freezing rain. And guess what?

We GOT it!!! 

That's the north kitchen window. Not thick but enough to keep that 30 mpg wind fr going through the walls and making it cold in here.  The new insulation in the attic helps too!!

I'll keep you posted about the weather!!

More layer, Linda 

Some ones shy!

Sarah was leaning her chin onto

Jerry's leg

  

But when she saw me raise the phone 

She moved her head. 

She's gotten shy!!

I did NOT know that animals could be shy!

There is something wrong with my dashboard!

I got onto Blogger just now and there it was----419 hits on the blog yesterday.

What????

To all of you who made that hit----THANK YOU!!

It was definitely a surprise. But a nice one.

What do you want me to blog about tomorrow? Just send me a comment.

Sarah and the Buty Hop

Jackie loves her job. Know how I know?

If you don't love your job you don't do this!! Little poodles and hearts on the tree. 

And the wreath with P   P for Pink Poodle!  Isn't that cute!!

And 2 more

Plants!! It's a play house!! Where she works. 

Oh yes, then there's Sarah .

Compared to yesterday

I'm gonna take her in more often. It's worth it to have her so cute. 

Thank you Jackie!!

More later, Linda 

Tomorrow is Buty Hop Day

There's one thing with Yorkies. 

They have to be groomed. When we first got her hair cut she lost 1 1/2 pounds!!

Lots of men would like that much hair!! To keep!

We are about 4 weeks late with Sarah

See what I mean

BUT

Tomorrow is Buty Hop day!!!!

Back in 1940 something.

Things are a little fuzzy because 1945 or 46 or 47 was a loooong time ago. We had ration stamps that we took to the store and the cashier would take the stamps for meat and sugar. That's the only two I remember. I'm sure there were more. 

Anyway, cigarettes became scarce. You could buy tobacco and papers. AND there was a rolling machine. Somehow when you put the papers in and the tobacco, turned the handle a cigarette would come out the little slide 

And then General Patton became the hero. He smoked a corn cob pipe. 

Dad made mom a pipe. 

Even to this day I don't know how they did it. But mom had her corn cob pipe!!

I looked at these corn cobs and can't figure it out. Probably corn cobs were just bigger then.

Do I hafta?

Sometimes I just can't go another western I've seen 10 times so I find a comedy or a war movie or even  -- should I say it -- a romance movie!!

Today it's Curly Sue with James Belushi, and Alisan Porter. 

It's a really good movie but Sarah likes the horses in the westerns. Obviously!!

She can't go other kinds!!

This is her attitude

And this. 

It'll be over soon!! And we will change the channel when it's over. 

NOT until then!!

More later, Linda 

I have to apologize to Nonie

Nonie, I have to tell you that Papa put the wonderfully warm fleecy cuddley throw you made me has become --ahhh a um----- Sarah's blankie

It's even got the breast cancer awareness ribbons on it. 

As you know Papa and Sarah get their way. Every time!

More later, Linda

Now I've seen EVERYTHING!!

She squirmed and wiggled until she got in this position

And then I got to fooling with the camera and saw 

Her eyes are CLOSED!!

Nothing to worry about!

Nothing to disturb her sleep. 

I'm gonna work on that attitude

Happy and serene. Not worried about anything. 

Sure would make nights better. 

More later, Linda

There is SOMETHING in the bed

When we got ready for bed last night -- this is what we saw

So Jerry put his cpap on. And went to bed!!

Then there was 2

It's so much fun to see the humor in EVERYTHING!!

Sarah and her Daddy

For about 6 months this is what Sarah has been doing. It's like she's trying to protect him. 

It's 18 outside with winds of 40 mph!!

Oklahoma has a song about "the winds come sweeping down the plains".  And that's just what happens. 

It's not bad when the temp is 80. But when the temp is 18---well that's the time to stay in. 

Or get comfy and sleep

This morning I was using my phone to look at the outside temp. When I saw the 18 my phone kinda shined everywhere. 

Sarah CAME out of that bed running and OOF OOF gurrrr. 

Woke Jerry up. 

Oops!!! 

It didn't take her long to do her business outside!!

It's been an hour and it's STILL 18!!
