My Boys

My two boys have to explore everything, I can't open a closet, cabinet or pretty much anything with out them wanting to get in and look around. Here's Smokey, after he finished checking everything out his brother Tiger took a turn but I didn't get a photo of him sorry.

Cleaning the Carpet

I've had this carpet cleaner for a few years now but I've never used it. Guess I was thinking all I had to do was buy it and it would clean the carpets all by it's self. I do that with lots of thing. Guess I'm just lazy; I need something to get me going. Now that I've waited so long to clean the carpets I'm going to have to use industrial equipment supplies. I just hope the supplies are safe for my cats.

Happy Memorial Day

We hope everyone has a great Memorial Day! It was one of the best weather days yet this spring. We spent most of the day napping and watching the birdies outside but we did remember to take time to remember the men and women who have died protecting our country.

Our mommy spent most of Saturday and Monday over at her mothers planting flowers for her. Our grandmother can’t do the planting anymore because of her health so our mommy took our grandmother Saturday to the flower store so she could buy the pretty flower. Grandmother counted the planters wrong so mommy went back the flower to get one more flower for that forgotten planter. Mommy decided to buy some flowers for our back porch too. After she finished at grandmothers, mommy come home and planted the flowers on our porch now all we need is a new patio sets.

I Need Help Losing Weight

The last 3 months I’ve been trying to lose some weight with no luck. I think maybe its because I’m a bit a little depressed. I just have too much time on my hands being out of work. I really need something to get me started. I have thought about going back to weight watchers but I really can’t afford to go back. I’ve been thinking about looking for a safe weight loss pills to try. I did have some luck before using diet pills so if I can find one I can afford I’m thinking of trying one.

PHOTO HUNT: Painted

After retirement my father started painting more. He has been painting since I was small. I think he used painting as away to relax. Here are a few of his paintings. Sorry if they look funny like not square I tried my best.

Riding Gear

When I was young I wished for a horse or pony for my birthday. I never got the horse but my parents did let me take riding lessons at a riding ranch near our home. I took lessons for a year with one of my best friends. After the lessons we could help groom the horses and feed them. It was one of the best years for both my friend and me. We bought riding clothes thing it would help us be better riders. I found store on line to buy equestrian apparel. Wish when I was younger we had the internet to shop on it would had been so much easier to find the riding gear we need then.

Missed My Chance For A Million

A few years ago my mother and I went to my sister’s for a visit. I was trying to find things to do when I got the idea to make a face on one of my sister’s old trees in her side yard. So we went to the store in search of material to make the face. This is what we came up with.

The very next year we found kits to do the same thing. I guess I missed my million dollar invention.

In Search For Warm Weather

Smokey and Tiger have been asking me when spring is coming? I told them it is spring now. But they want to know why its still cold outside. I told them it’s because we live in Michigan. You just can’t count on the weather here in Michigan if you want to go to a state in the south where the weather is warm all year round. Maybe I should take them on an Orlando vacations.

A Sad Day In Detroit

DETROIT -- Chuck Daly, who coached the original Dream Team to the Olympic gold medal in 1992 after winning back-to-back NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons, has died. He was 78.

When we heard of Mr. Daly's death we were so sad. Our mommy remembers the exciding days of the bad boys. When they won back to back championships (1989 and 1990) what great fun it was. She loved going to the games, see we live real close to the Palace, that's the home of the Pistons so it was easy for mommy to go to the game. We were hoping to take a picture of mommy old bad boys tee shirt but after hours of looking for it she didn't find it. If it turns up we'll post it.
