It Wasn't Quite a Reprimand..But,...

I would not go as far as calling it a scolding..
maybe not even a reprimanding..
however,
in the last couple of days
it has been called to my attention
that I have not been blogging..
enough...
as of late...
so in order to stay in every ones good graces..
let's see what I can come up with..
now..remember
I have for the past two weeks been ear deep,
then chest deep and now finally
only knee deep in two rooms..
in moving boxes..
and not just any moving boxes..
these were special boxes...
I am not sure
if the packers need a class in
"box labeling"
or if they just had some
"sick" sense of humor..
but with three out of four boxes
it became a surprise as what you might
actually find in that box..
for instance
...a box marked towels...
had bottles of medication..
(such as Tylenol, Ib-hurtings),
hair brushes, hand mirror, razor blades ect ..
oh, yeah and two towels...
No box ever said "dishes"...
some boxes say nothing other than "Ryan" SC...
however..
.there are two boxes that have grabbed my curiosity..
so much that I have not opened them..
just upon occasions I will stop short in my tracks
to gaze in open bewilderment at the inscription on the side...
trying
they could possibly hold..
It has to be some grand prize
given out by the moving company..
what else could it possibly be?
For Mike and I are not rich..
we do not come from "old" money..
or "new" money for that matter..
Uncle Moe did not pass
leaving some grand estate's treasures for us..
Yet, on the side of these two boxes ...
written in large black marker
are the very words
"FRAGILE"
"ARTIFACTS!"

Today I have received pictures
from my sister, Mary
and my niece , Cathy of the snow fall in Alabama...
Carrie and Felice in Virginia
got snow...
And tonight Michael got a phone call from
New Hampshire..
it was snowing there as well..
No snow here in South Carolina..
made my lip quiver ..
for half a moment..
I did enjoy looking out at the snow..
and playing in it a little..
I loved taking pictures of Chloe in the snow...
Maybe before all is said and done Thibodeaux will get to play in
a "little" snow..
Enjoy the pictures..
of snow in North Alabama!







Thank you both for the pictures!

Here at the new house
the puppies have a nice big back yard...
Chloe has been enjoying
the deck..
elevated so she may keep a watch on
every ones back yards!
They really like that!

Thibby stayed busy the first few days
letting everyone know that
A new "Big Boy"
had come to town...
they sure needed to straighten up and
fly right now!
Miss Bo-Bo has had a virtual amusement park among the boxes!

Could they too be in awe
of the two boxes marked
"ARTIFACTS"
Thibodeuax likes to stand at the rail
on the deck with Michael
gazing out across the
neighborhood yards...
Chloe comes around for
her share of loving attention!


Sometimes a boy just needs
to talk over a few things
with Dad.

Dad must approve...
so all is right in the western world..
and the neighborhood watched over by these
trustworthy Pyrenees!

As you enter the front door,
the living room is to your left,
dinning room to your right..
above your head is a
rail and banister
on the second floor.
Today,
while hanging pictures in the living room,
arranging what-nots
and do-dads
in one room and then the other..
Miss Bo-Bo
started carrying on some more conversation with me..
look as I may,
I could not find her..
this became somewhat concerning to me..
for Miss Bo
has had a tendency to be "closed up" in areas..
such as closets or pantries..
finally ,
with her still deep in conversation..
I looked up...




She seems very pleased with
her
new house!
