House guest ...

We have had Jacquelyn, Bucky and their 2 dogs

with us for 8 days now

they have some pretty serious plumbing issues at their house

that are being taken care of this week

But we're not complaing...far be it!

Johnny and I are loving it

true, 5 dogs here can get a little crazy but it's still fun

here's little Marley...he's only 4 lbs but wow, he sure can bark!!

he loves laying on the steps and soaking up the sun

and here's Ziggy boy

Ziggy is 7 years old and probably the sweetest dog ever

everyone loves Ziggy!

he hangs out in the kitchen a lot with me as he loves to eat

so he's always hoping someone is going to drop something



they will probably be going home this week and I'm sure they

will be glad but Johnny and I will miss them

It's been so long.....

And I have Pinterest to blame!

when I sit down to relax with the computer, I go on FB first

have to check out what everyone is up to

and then I go to Pinterest

Oh my!

I love this site

I have made several recipes that I've found on there

have "pinned" quite a few ideas on what I want to do with

our family room

And pinned some of the cutest outfits

wow

sure wish I could find a shopper to go out and put

all of those outfits together for me

then hang in my closet!!

and speaking of closets.....

I found a great idea on how to store my scarves

you buy shower hooks and hang them on the rod



then just thread your scarves through!

Such a simple and fantastic idea!

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.......
