Did you listen to what that French Dad told his little boy yesterday in Paris? It was on the news. The Father said we would fight the terrorists with flowers and candles. They would not move and would stay strong in France. They would not hate or be filled with fear. It made me cry! They were Asian too father and son - and French. I love it. Just like America; we are from everywhere... mutts. Strength in diversity. ISIS is the threat not the people or Islam. I have known some gentle lovely Muslims. Pity all the carnage in Paris, the Russian plane, the hundreds lost in bombings all over the mid East.
I was at LOWE's a couple of days ago and watched as 2 men loaded some items on a flat bed truck. There has a huge mastif dog, thin coat curled up against the cab. His collar and leash were tied to the cab. There were no sides to the truck, no protection to being tossed by wind, force of turning or debris flying... the poor animal was just loose. All I could think of is one sharp sudden stop and the momentum of the moving vehicle and the weight of this enormous dog would make it go flying and snap it's neck. It was 48 degrees and raining... Mastifs have thin short coats. How could this not be animal abuse? How come a cop didn't pull those idiots over and ticket them? There was space in the rear cab to put the dog. Mastifs are very expensive too.. $800-1500 for a puppy. The dog was gorgeous and a good 175 pounds. I felt so bad for that poor dog. Then to see Spookie all dollied up and loved.. sigh.
Glad everyone sounds good and are up and about. Poor Colorado..all that snow and wind! Chevy you are brave, stay warm. Patty it's great to see your posts and feel your energy and happiness. Hugs to all.

Spookie: too bad for the MO. Spookie has hair to die for. Sez the girl who usually looks like Tintin.

Rose, They would get a big fat ticket here in WA. It's illegal to have them in the back unless they're inside a secured kennel. I agree, why have a dog if you don't want it in the cab.
Spookie looks gorgeous, but I think she's plotting how long it will be until she can roll in some mud.
My car is at the shop. The ABS light and brake light were blinking, although the brakes were working just fine. I have a hugely busy day tomorrow. If my car isn't OK to use, DH is going to be forced to share to take me places.

Allrighty - my goal is to catch up tonight. 4 pages behind. I have to have the heat man in no later than a week from Monday or Tuesday and you cannot walk thru the main living area. So cleaning is in my forecast.
So I will keep this open and read back thru the last 4 pages but I know I see Patty on this last page. YAY. I'm so glad you're feeling so much better but I agree with the advice to take it a little easy.
Seachain - so you're an Okie. I'm just NW of DFW area. I totally understand about not being able to get out of things. I have a denim jumper (another rant) that I can get in but cannot get out of - if I lost 20# it would help. So have to make sure DH is around if I wear it to church. Why do they not make nice jumpers anymore, at least ones without gigantic slits up the back?
OO Smaarty - hope the boobs like the Caribbean. Oh soup, I've made white chicken chili (gone) and Mon. I made sausage, kale, potato soup. Really good. I think this will be a soup winter. What kind did you make? How does one search for a particular fabric on Ebay? Can't imagine how you describe something like that. I've been on a hunt for my Thanksgiving stuff. Not for here, not even sure what we're doing. I have to decorate a table for Thanksgiving church dinner. I had more stuff than I thought
HaHa Loverly - I caught Smaarty's feet in her picture too. Nice shoes she has, comfy looking.
Kath - OH MY I missed your birthday.
Mags - I love the gingerbread house. My idea of decorative baking. I bake but bake to eat it lol. The love seat is lovely and I adore the color.
Hinting we may get some kind of snow late next week. I see snow showers on one forecast.
Posting this to see what I missed

Luvmygoats, thank you. Just gives me an excuse to celebrate all week.
So far DC is just looking at rain. Yuk

Chevy back several pages I seen your post of large candy canes in the yard. Was that your yard ? I love it !!!!!

jusy poppin in to say hey. I am still feeling well. Yea ! I made spaetti and garlic bread for supper. Was so excited to not only make supper for my family that wasn't frozen. Even more exciting I let ds2 (10) help with every step. He loves to cook and is actually pretty good of it. It takes much longer and is messier but so worth the quality time I spent with him. Choosing happy.

Spookie- the real Spookie looks gorgeous. The bow tops off her look. I think she is smiling?

Patty: "Choosing happy.". How right you are!! Enjoy good health, just don't over do it with chores.

Rose, I saw the video. Brought tears to my eyes. Children shouldn't have to worry about such things.

Spookie is smiling. I think you are right, Jazzy.
Always get mixed emotions on this thread. One minute I am crying and next minute I am smiling or laughing (at Ms. Chevy's mischief). Happy for you Patty that you finally get a break and get to enjoy quality times with family.
I don't get why people have their dogs in the back of the trucks without a kennel or any safe restraint.

Hey Eeyore, we posted at the same time. We get to see you twice in two days? It must be snowing in Florida. Now, if Marlana shows up, it will snow.... I'm not making any sense like usual. Got to go pick up the kids from swim practice. Ta ta for now

Hey Eeyore. I knew there was someone I missed in the 4 pages I scanned. Good to see you again.

hi Patty, nice to see you here and feeling good. Keep doing that!
Luvmygoats, it took me about 15 min to find the fabric. I new the manufacture and how long ago I got it, so pretty easy. It came today so I can get the topper done.
My shoes are Naturalizers. Only thing I can wear so that my plantar fasciitis doesn't flare up. Also have bought them on eBay.
Ok, whose birthday is next?
I'm taking my dd out tomorrow to eat, shop and see a movie for her birthday, which is Saturday but I'll be out of town.
Mags, Really like the love seat, did you get it from Penney's?
Cute dog, but you knew that!
Where's Sassy, still out making out for the missed birthday with DBF??
Have you been on the movie thread yet? It's going crazy, I can't keep up

Love all the Peanuts characters!
Seachain, it looks like somebody winterized that cat.
Spookie looks like she's in the National Dog Show. I like her little purple bow. She does look like she has enough hair for both of you.

Smaarty, the loveseat came from Wayfair. I searched the internet for days looking for a blue loveseat, and there just aren't many out there. This is beautiful, velvety, comfy, and it's a Serta! And the shipping was free. Very reasonable cost as well. We also bought a corner writing table from them, to use as a tv stand. It'll be great – if DH ever gets around to putting it together.0

Loverly & Goats, this is my favorite thread. I usually hoover around but rarely land. I am sure Spookiemom can verify the wind hasn't changed direction to snow in Florida. But I miss Marlana too. Patty's choosing happy gives me a lot encouragement. Happy to see her getting a good break, also happy to see Rosevally feeling well and postingoften. Oh, love those Peanuts! ❤️

Okay Peppermint! I decorated this house for YOU... I built it, then I decorated it!
I'm still looking for candy-canes at Walmart, but they only have the kind I have to plug in, and I don't have an outside plug out front... So You'll have to just stay in this house, and enjoy all my hard work.... Ha!
Now Eeeeeeeyore......... You better keep feeling better... we need you around here...
But that's what we are here for!

Such a cute girl Wren! Hah! My Daughter made herself one, but I posted it to her FB page... she somehow "lost" it after she did it, but I saved the day...
So I guess we are to assume Sass is still in the dog-house.... BIG time! She is probably groveling on her hands and knees, and fixing him Spam sandwiches....

Eyore, you're in hot muggy Florida? Did Sas and I know that? Where are you?
And where is Marlanea?
