KONDITOR MEISTER--- as if we don't have enough  to lead us astray now...... that is a bad web site !!!
all i did was to say how wonderful the cake was at janine's party-- yellow with milk chocolate frosting... and they started in "it is nothing like a cake from  konditor meister-- they make cakes for the white house"  well if they are so great ... ( and we are so fond of cakes... AND THIS TOO IS A WHITE HOUSE.....) how come we have not had a cake from them?   as if we needed an excuse....  we are happy to celebrate ANYTHING !! ....
 MEGAN CUT BAILEY'S TOENAILS  DAY-   

YESTERDAY WAS I THINK THE THIRD CAKE WE HAD FOR GRACE'S BIRTHDAY WHICH WAS SOMETIME LAST WEEK...  A CARROT CAKE-- SO I COULD CHECK OFF A VEGETABLE ON MY DIET LIST.
I DID BETTER WHEN I STUCK TO THEIR  FOOD-- ELMERS  GLUE AND SAWDUST. NOT FOOD YOU WOULD BE THRILLED TO EAT.... UNFORTUNATELY, I AM ONCE AGAIN LOOKING FORWARD TO EATING--- LIKE.......
THOSE LAMB CHOPS FOR BREAKFAST WHEN STEVE IS HERE  AREN'T TOO BAD--  PROTEIN  ---IT IS THE AFTER DINNER DESERTS  THAT ARE IMPEDING MY DIET PROGRESS.  AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, IN LOOKINF FOR PLASTIC BAGS, I STUMBLED ON AN HUGE STASH OF HERSHEYS KISSES HIDDEN IN THE OVERFLOW ROOM.   I DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD DO A THING LIKE THAT...  HA !!
BACK TO THE  $200 CAKES... ANNIE LIVES VERY NEAR THE BAKERY  SO I CAN SEE TROUBLE AHEAD...
*****************
I HAD HOPED  TO SNEAK THE HAT PROJECT PAST MARK BUT HIS SISTER SENT THIS....
Still laughing over here! Brother Mark reads the Daily Doggie faithfully each and every morning then forwards it to Auntie Corrine!

.SOOOO  HE FOUND OUT... WHICH MEANS WE HAVE TO BE EVEN MORE CREATIVE--- HE HAS HUNDREDS OF HATS -- AS WITNESSED IN MAILCALL YESTERDAY  (AND THE GOAL POSTS I HAD ON MY HEAD....)---
************
TODAY IS SHATUPON SUNDAY--  THERESAA HAS THE NUMBER STICKERS READY-- NOW..... I USUALLY PRINT OUT THE NAMES OF THE OWNERS OF THOSE  NUMBERS, BUT IT TAKES ABOUT 1/2 INCH OF PAPER--- SO I HAVE DECIDED  WE WILL SHOW THE WINNER BY WHITEBOARD-- AND I WILL HAVE TO COME HER E TO THE HOUSE TO FIND OUT THE ACTUAL NAME OF WINNER AND RUNNERS UP
********
THAT 6 PASSENGER  GOLF CART WITH THE KNOBBY TIRES IS DOING WELL SO FAR...ASIDE FROM HAVING A HUGE TURNING RADIUS, IT IS GETTING  AROUND WITH EASE,-
************
TEHN THE NEXT PROBLEM   ONE OF THOSE RED TV SCREENS  ANNOUNCING     DUSTING + 2 INCHES +6 TO 8" + 10 TO 12" + 4"  WHICH MAKES FOR ABOUT A BIG A MESS AS THE 30" WE ALREADY HAVE -- AND TRACI ( ADAMS) HAS ALREADY BOOKED HER FLIGHT OUT FOR TUESDAY ... AGAIN...   THERE IS A SHUTTLE BUS TO LOGAN AIRPORT FROM NEAR COSTCO-- I THINK WE MAY NEED TO FIND OUT THE DETAILS..

Just a note to let you know that Fiona is doing fine. She is enjoying running in the snow.
I had a friend here who had a bun in her hair and Fiona booped it with her nose a few times.
It really had us laughing. She used to do that to my nose.
She got a new vest yesterday.
We went to the Vet on Thursday (shot, wellness, heartworm test) and she gets nervious right
   in the car, then in the office. I don't know how she knows that we are going there. She must
   be picking up something from me.
Love from Fiona and Ma

CARLENE, HAVE YOU SEEN THE VIDEO OF THE AWFUL FALL THAT THE BUDWEISER 8-HORSE TEAM HAD AT AN ARENA? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH "CLYDESDALE ACCIDENT". THE COMPOSURE OF THESE HORSES WHILE GETTING UNTANGLED IS AMAZING.
  


I HAVE  WATCHED THAT 6 TIMES NOW AND AM STILL SHOCKED AT HOW THOSE CLYDESDALE HORSES BEHAVED-- AND HOW THE HANDLERS GOT RIGHT  IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY EXPLOSIVE SITUATION.. HORSES ARE FAMOUS FOR PANIC--  OFTEN KILLING THEMSELVES AND ANYONE WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE.. THOSE WHEEL HORSES STOOD- NEVER EVEN SHIFTING  ONE FOOT WHILE THE HANDLERS UNTANGLED LEATHER , WOOD AND HORSES TO WALK AWAY UN BLEMISHED.

AND AFTER I WATCHED THAT , I GOT  GOING ON  
JUST THOUGHT YOU MAY ENJOY A FEW MINUTES OF THE TRAINING THAT WENT ON WITH THE CLYDESDALES FOR SOME OF THE SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS.  YOU'VE PROBABLY DONE MANY OF THESE THINGS YOURSELF.  IT WAS JUST SO ENJOYABLE TO WATCH THEM IN ACTION AND THEIR GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TRAINERS.


ENJOY!  AND STAY WARM....

GRACIEBIT-OH
AND WANDERING AROUND I FOUND A DOZEN PREVIOUS  COMMERCIALS  BASED OIN THE TRAINING SHOWN IN THE TURTLE RANCH VIDEO...

VERY INTERESTING SNOWY DAY STUFF.
