Snow ...

We left the Chesapeake Bay on Sunday morning as

they were calling for a good size snow in Richmond

yes....finally, SNOW!!

it would be our first for this winter

but as we drove home I kept reading that the storm was falling

apart and wouldn't be as large as they thought

we just haven't had the bitter cold this winter

but still, it did snow and we ended up with about 4 inches

of slushy snow. Woke up on Monday morning to a winter

wonderland.

this was the first time in snow for Pippa lou and she loved it

as much as Bella. My old girl Chrissy doesn't play in it as much

as she used to....too cold for her!

at one point Sunday night, we got 2 inches in one hour

it was coming down fast!

and then the next morning

the dogs had fun but were in and out all day long!!

Chesapeake Bay ...

Last Thursday Johnny and I headed down to the

Chesapeake Bay after work

My brother in law and his fiance have a house on the bay

So along with them and another couple, we planned on spending

the weekend just playing cards, relaxing, cooking and eating!!

here's a pic I took early on Saturday morning

you can't tell where the water ends and the horizon begins

their house is on Harvey creek and just beyond the sand bar

on the left and the trees is the Chesapeake Bay

Tommy and Johnny had to clear a bunch of leaves off

of the cover of the pool as it was clogging up the pump that

keeps water off of the cover

We had such a good time and enjoyed playing cards

love spending the weekend with good friends!

nothing better.......

Teddy Bears ...

Everyone knows I have 2 teddy bear dogs

they are part Shihzu and part Bischon

A friend of mine from work also has 2 teddy bears

but hers are white and brown, but mostly white

they are precious and came over to meet mine

Bella Boo was cautious but after awhile wanted to play

But Pippa Lou.....no go! She acted all shy and scared and mostly

just wanted to stay in my lap

I think doggie socialization classes are in order

Below is my friends daughter and the 2 pups

Bandit and Daisy!

and then they all attacked Jake!

Been MIA .....

I can't believe I've neglected my blog!!

But I do admit I get sucked in to Facebook too much and then

forget about this little spot on the web

and this little spot is so much more important to me as it documents

my family's life!

So what have I been up to since Feb 9th......

well these 2 little girls keep me pretty busy



and trying to get the house back to normal after all of the

re-modeling and holidays!

and really, besides working, we haven't done much of anything.

went out to eat the Saturday before Valentines.

When I came downstairs on Valentines morning, this

is what greeted me......

We also went to a surprise 40th birthday party for my niece's husband

she hosted the party at Havanna 59...a really cool place in

downtown Richmond



Alex loves cigars so Aimee has his cake done with fake ones.....

and a good time was had by all.......
