First I give you grandpup Rosie...Lorelei's little dog. She just loves her family so much. Sarah was trying to do some work from home one evening, and could not get any peace till she made Rosie a bed close to her in the office/craft area.
And below is Copper trying to snuggle with Delta.
I think if I were Delta I would be losing my patience. But she seldom does.

Roger is still not normal. He is definitely better than he was for a bit. But wish he could just feel what is normal for him.

Their scent was so strong it smelled up the whole house. I even wondered was it causing Roger's headache..
I finished this puzzle sometime last week. It took me forever, but there were days I did not even touch it. But dark greens are the hardest color for me to work.
It was one of those with the crazy pieces. Which normally don't bother me. But on this puzzle I thought I had lost a piece to the very end. And we won't mention the time I spent looking and looking for one piece, only to find it UNDER an extra lamp I set on the puzzle for extra light.

Can you find the car? I did find it with relative ease. But have been looking for another photo where I had to have Lorelei find what I was looking for. I cannot remember where I seen it. But it was Simon's Cat running with a bunch of Dalmatians.
A somewhat rough week has just passed. Roger has fallen twice, in the house, in the past week. Was not really hurt at all either time. Once he was bending over, and just fell on forward. It was like in slow motion. Then last night he was bent over, pulling the tv tray to him and shuffling backwards. In between those falls he was dizzy for about 3 days...(I was dizzy for a day or two myself, but I felt like I was getting a cold. Roger never felt sick and the first fall was before he started feeling dizzy and the last fall happened after he was pretty much back to normal)
BUT, guess what he said last night about a minute after he fell? I don't remember just how he said it, but it was 'Since I am so light on my feet....' He was trying to lighten my spirits cause it just about makes me sick when he falls.
The dr. had increased the dosage on one of his meds, and I read where it could cause dizziness. So I took him to the dr. to make sure he did not have an ear infection, and he said to go back to the lower dosage. And soon as I did the dizziness left him

Also have had new shocks put on our car, and being that it all of a sudden started using a lot more gas, I had spark plugs and air filter changed....it is not back to normal. Thank God. Roger always took care of sparkplugs and filters...the shocks we would have had done. And our son-in-law offered to do them, but he was working so much overtime at the time I did not want to take away what free time he might happen to get.

I am embarrassed to admit this, but this is the only book I have read...I think since Christmas. It is the 1977 issue of Foxfire...
My mind has just been all over the place and I could not settle to read...
I have been in a giggling mood when thinking about Otto...this is him 'back in the day.'
He is a lot older now and spends a lot of time sleeping.
I don't know what brought it to mind, but when they lived at Indy when Lorelei was young...we would go visit. Otto would be so, so happy to see us. One of the first things he would do is run grab his blanket and come dragging it in to us as fast as he could. It was as if he was willing to give up his blanket if we would just spend the night with them. I wish I had a picture of the look on his face...it was just so full of joy.

Then today Roger and the lost watch episode crossed my mind. He could even remember it. I laughed till I cried just thinking about it. I know a couple of you have read this story before but some of you have not. So Here you go:
******** Now for some laughter....the following happened just a couple of hours ago...I swear to goodness I am not making this up.
A little background is Roger takes his watch off fairly often and loses it for a short while...usually when he is working out in his shop, or sometimes when he showers.
So tonight we were sitting here and out the corner of my eye, I saw him looking at his right wrist but I didn't think anything of it. He looked at me and said, "Well, Rosemary, (Mary is my middle name) I have lost my watch again." He was totally serious...and he started to get up to go look for it and says, "NO, I didn't it's right here...on my left wrist!"
Oh, how we have laughed...I can still see the look on his face. He got up and went in the kitchen and yelled at me, Hey I found my feet--they are on the end of my legs...Hey, I bet I could find two new cars out in the garage.....and on and on.
The above is directly from my blog post of March 6, 2015. A little added info is he has never worn a watch on the right wrist...we have no idea why he looked for it there.

A few more Grandmother's Flower Garden....most of these were made before Christmas, but night before last I made 2 plus finished another that is not shown in this photo. Added to the ones shown here I am gradually building a pile of them.

I started with laughter so I might as well end with laughter. Here you go:
