I Love My Amazing Animals

Happy Birthday & Follow Friday Four Fill-in Fun

Hello Friends~
Long time no see! It is Saturday and I haven't been around all week because I have been swamped. Really, swamped...
Anyways, today is our daughters birthday! She is 20 years old today and she is having a great day! Shopping all day in Providence with me and a party tonight! Yeah!!!!

So Happy Birthday my dear daughter! This is a picture of my Mom, me, my daughter and the little one! I think my daughter looks just like my mother!

I wanted to do this yesterday but here we go...

My friend, Hilary, at Feeling Beachie, is having a welcome to the first weekly Follow Friday Four Fill-in Fun Blog Hop.
Each week, she will plan on listing four statements with a blank for you to fill in on your own blogs. If you want to join the fun and come up with four fill in’s of your own, please email them to Hilary at feelingbeachie@gmail.com If she use's them, Hilary will add you as co-host to the hop!

This week’s statements:

1) I can’t help it, but every time I go to the grocery store, I buy one lottery ticket! OK, I'm really not a gambler, but someone has to win the million dollars, right!

2) No one believes I like blogging and antiquing as much as I do.

3) My knees are my least favorite part of my physical appearance.

4) The first time I cooked for my significant other, I made home made spaghetti.

Have a great day,,,I have to get ready for the birthday party!!

Run Buffy, Run

You sure can't run from all this snow we are having! Just another couple of inches today and hopefully rain at the end of week!
Thanks for all the kind comments yesterday! Everything is back to normal and the insurance adjuster is coming out next week to look at all the snow/water damage, which of course the nanny had nothing to do with that! LOL I just heard of a good remedy tonight at a meeting I was at. Someone mentioned to put ice melting pellets, IE: calcium chloride, in nylons and put it in your gutters and the ice is gone? I will have to do some research on this~Also, I will have to put gutters on my house...that could be a problem! We didn't put them back on after we had new shingles on the roof last year.
Have a great day!

Could it be?

Hi Friends, is it me or could this be the Loch Ness Monster of Grand Cayman?

I can see it, can you?

Well we are back home and this is how my last two days went...

1) We had hired a new doggy nanny...and when we walked in at 11:30PM...

2) House was a complete mess...if you know what I mean...OMD, I cried...

3) Yes, the animals were well and VERY happy to see us! That is important.

4) I started cleaning at midnight (went to sleep about two thirty) and finished the next day.

5) My girlfriend had to come over and help me. I was overwhelmed.

6) Huge water damage in the house...My son's new room that we just did over

had a flood from the snow and his new floor lifted and the wall was damaged.

7) My office and bathroom, severe water damage. In my office, it wasn't where the ice was, it was the opposite side.

8) Greenhouse collapsed from snow.

9) Did I mentioned that a door in our house was broken??? I big piece broken off???

I forgot to ask her what happened.

10) Paid doggy nanny and she said it was a lot work...I wanted to ask her

what she did, but I didn't.

11) Learned a huge lesson...Only hire professionals with GREAT references!

I'm over the shock of it now and my home is back to normal...nice and clean! If you can only imagine...

Have a great day!

Philippine Starfish

Hello Friends, while my son was snorkeling he came across a lot of these little creatures.

I did take a few quick pictures before he put it back in the ocean.

I think they are Philippine starfish. I have never

seen these before but the Caymans do

have a lot of starfish.

Personally, I wouldn't have touched it. It looks a little scary to me not to mention you shouldn't touch anything under the sea~So next time young son... just look...don't touch...and no, we are not taking it home for a pet!

You won't find any snow here!

The doggy nanny sent me an email that all is going well at home and the crew is doing fine!

I thought I would would show you some pictures from Grand Cayman. I use to bring the kids swimming when they were younger in the above picture. It is very shallow in front of the reef.

This is a seagull trying to hang on in the wind yesterday.

I have no idea what these flowers are but they are beautiful and you can see them all over the island.

You literally see hundreds of these iguana's here, they are everywhere. Small ones and big ones!

This sunset was taken last night!

Sad news though, my mothers dog, Dolly, went to Rainbow Bridge today. My mother is with me and is very sad. My sister-in-law was taking care of Dolly and her other two dogs while she is on vacation. Dolly had been very sick the past few months and I honestly think she waited for my mother to leave. Please keep my Mom and Dolly in your prayers.

Dolly at "15" years old.
