turning it off

I am going to be without internet/cable for some time. You know how to reach me. {{hugs}} everyone!!! Money shortages everywhere these days.

spaghetti

Of course this reminds me of my sis. She will "get it". Mind you, she was a thousand times messier. I laughed a thousand times more. However this time I have to clean it all up.

flooding

Oh yes, that is my old town that is on the news. I was glued to Internet pictures all day yesterday. From what I can figure, the water came within a 1/2 mile of my old home. The school Grif went to is seriously soggy. I can't imagine they will be opened tomorrow. I walked those streets several times a week during my "nature walks". Desert towns don't normally flood. I guess this shows you that, yes, it can always get worse and no town is immune from disasters. I can't imagine losing all your possessions all at once. I doubt many people had flood insurance. That wasn't a flood zone. If you want to see more pictures go to rgj.com That is the Reno newspaper site. There are several photo albums of pictures.

cat house

Not sure if this is the new cat house, or Jack's new jungle gym. This was Pita's house (Bob/Diane's cat) but she didn't use it that much and we took it over. Brought it home last night and the cat's loved it. Jack loves it as well. lol

demolition man

Santa brought Jack blocks. He loves them IF he can take them apart or demolish something we made. He has no desire to put them together, only take them apart. Such a boy.

Merry Christmas

Cam and Ri are THRILLED with their new laptops. Whatever will we do without the constant bickering on computer time? I am sure they will find something. lol

Griffin is busy playing with his Nitendo gameboy DS lite. Grandma Diane/Papa Bob got him a Leapster laptop so he didn't feel left out. He loves that as well! We will probably look for additional games for it with his Toys R Us gc he got. {additional games, game boy accessories, transformers, alarm clock, etc round out the loot}

Jack, well, you can see here what he got from Santa. Jumbo lego blocks, clothes, new scooby doo bedding, playground balls, Backyardigans DVD (thank goodness as I was so sick of the one we listen to each and every day!), dump truck and a gc to TRU too.

Gotta say Southern FL doesn't seem like Christmas whatsoever. Even LV has more of a Xmas spirit than here. lol Hope your day is wonderful and don't eat too many cookies and get sick! xoxoxo Love and kisses!

Riley the photographer

Riley was taking pictures of his brothers on Sunday. Thought I might share.
