LOVEY and me.. hehehe

 This past week I went over to Vulhops to await the arrival of their new sofa.. They have 3 kitties.. Wizzy,Crystal,and Lovey aka Kitler.  I no sooner walked in the door but Lovey made a leap from the floor onto my chest and up onto my shoulders.. AACCKKK!  

 I was trying to read my book and slipped the camera out of my pocket and began to snap some photos.. She moves around a lot looking for a comfy position..
 

 Wizzy sat under the Christmas tree which is shedding pine needles while awaiting planting when the ground is workable.  He looked like he was part porcupine..

 It was at this point that lovey climbed up on my chest, fanangled her way up to my neck and promptly fell over sideways into my face.  I was laughing hysterically while trying not to make any loud noises to awaken Keith who was sleeping in the next room.
 

The new sofa arrived.. well.. that's the BACK of the new sofa.. it's very beautiful and soft.

 Daniel's birthday was on January 17.. Aunt JJ was watching Annabelle play her DS..

 The birthday boy, Daniel..

 Daniel made his own cake this year... YAY for Daniel!

Catching up.. in January

We started the new year off right with a get together for Annabelle's birthday , though it wasn't till 4 days later.. but we thought it was appropriate with everyone off work that day and available.

 The main course was sauerkraut, pork, kielbasi, and mashed potatoes.. YUMMO!
 

 Happy Birthday Annabelle.. 6 years old..

 I think she liked her bunny ear muffs..

Charlie's birthday

Why do I feel so behind?  I'm retired but have my fingers in so many pots, I can scarcely keep up.. I've been into making DVDs for our family.  The most recent is for my brother Charlie.. His birthday is today, so of course, I made him a movie of pictures I have in my possession.  He sure was a cute little guy..  I called the movie "Chuddy-Chuck-Charlie-my brother" .. I took it up to show him today and he seemed to enjoy it all.  I also took him a couple of sweet rolls.. filled ones with cream.  I think he liked it all.
I didn't stay long.. but we watched 2 videos and then I felt so sleepy, I decided I'd better head on home.  I have a minor cold and it makes my teeth ache.. I was starting to not feel so good.. 
It's a rainy rainy icy snowy day today.. and not bad temp wise- 45*, better than 1* of yesterday morning.
  

Indeed.. it is January 7th today and I'm just getting around to the 1st blog post of the new year.. I hope your's is blessed and happy.  Looking to many good times with our grandchildren- they are growing up so fast.
