That’s me!! I’m proud of it too………….just because I also happen to love YOGURT at the moment doesn’t mean I love bacon any less. Nosireeeeeeeee! Mom got out the waffle machine this morning and made waffles AND bacon. I passed on the waffles of course but bacon? I was ALL over that!
I thought I’d share some photos of “Christmas Past” – stuff I have in my WordPress media file from old posts at Christmas time. It’s fun to look back………….AND to look forward too (like I’m looking forward to seeing what Santa Paws brings me and puts in my stocking this year!!!!!).
I know that we’re all thinking about the holidays right now – whatever holiday or occasion we celebrate because not everyone of course celebrates Christmas……….BUT, just a little reminder that on January 1st not only will everyone be recovering from New Year’s Eve (hic!) but it will be my FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY. That’s right……and I’m trying to decide what kind of pawty to have. A few years ago I had a slumber party………and I had a fancy dress formal dinner dance last year……..so I’m just not sure WHAT to do this year. Maybe I should ask you all to give me some ideas then do a poll?????
Decisions, decisions…………..and it’s Saturday – I shouldn’t have to make decisions on a Saturday………..I should eat bacon and sleep (in that order!).
Hugs, Sammy

Same with my Mom Summer……she loves syrup on something – pancakes/waffles doesn’t matter. Of course if she fills up on THOSE then I have more of a chance of getting some additional bits of her bacon!

We really liked seeing the pictures of your house all decorated, it sure is pretty! Calvin especially liked the picture of the tree knocked over.
We were thinking about your party, what about a theme party featuring all stuff from the year you were born…Y2K for example, and all the good stuff that happened that year, the best songs, movies, books etc. That’s our thought but we know whatever you plan, it will be pawsome as always!

When we had the terrible wind storm on Nov. 24th & it knocked down the Spruce at the end of our line here the Property Manager ‘declared al the trees a hazard’…we are all stunned I can tell you. It was because of her & Housing the patios were ripped up & enlarged. They chopped roots that were above ground to enalrge patios & no one wanted a bigger patio. then they took the healthy pine tree down. Once the Spruce blew down (which is still on neighbor’s front lawn the tree guy was summoned & he took the other Spruce down & our cedar trees & the pther healthy pine tree…
In all honesty I am relieved Nylablue was not here for this….she would have been so sad. So now we will have NO shade from the Sun during Summer & larger patios that will bake unshaded…so what was the purpose of all this??? **sighs**
We all so hoped the wind would blow the stupid partitons down; no such luck.
I am putting seed out on the ground & the Sparrows & Chickadees come jsut as dawn is breaking to eat….we miss them being close tho’.

I remember in my apartment days that the management was always doing dumb things “for the residents” yet NEVER in OUR minds were those things really for us – it was to make THEIR life easier. Sad isn’t it. Well, you’re right of course that Nylablue would be sad about her trees but I feel good knowing that in Summerland I’m sure there are endless beautiful trees inhabited by endless squirrels and birds for her to watch. If little Darth comes to live with you he won’t know that there USED to be trees for him to enjoy in the view. He’ll just love all those sun puddles and watching the birds.

Too cheap 7 too mean spirited. Management used to be at least respectful of the tenants. Now we are after thoughts to them. Funny because w/out us they would be jobless but they do not see that. We are just losers to them even the Seniors are seen like that. It is not pleasant. Many of us will not even call anyone in Housing. We just do not need the aggro.
