Still Here........somewhere.....

Just stopping in for a minute and I see that by letting my "who visited my blog" thingy lapse, that it has now vanished forever. Sad. It was fun seeing all the different countries. Oh well. I sort of was thinking that it would at least hang in there along the side of the page and just not add any more LOL

I`m still trying to visit blogs. It`s on my "to do" list.....my long "to do" list. With slow dial up connection it makes for a very slow go of loading the pages. But I will get there!
This Saturday was my last over-time for a bit and the next weekends are fairly free except for my hub`s huge family Christmas get together next Saturday. They hold it every year in the church basement in Courtis, a little place near Oshawa. Hopefully our journey there won`t be too snowy!
I won`t bore anyone with snow pictures, but it was a darn cold day,today and it sounds like it will be for awhile.
We finished up the Christmas shopping though :)

Well, I`m off to see if Extreme Makeover House Edition is on. It always makes me cry. Then Desperate Housewives . I know..hehe...but it`s entertaining. Haven`t sat in front of the tv in long while except to catch Coronation Street that is. Can`t miss that one. But tonight I`m going to be a veg head.
Oh yes....decluttering led to plopping a basket down for a few minutes before hiding it away and Angus thought he`d try it out.
And though the world`s in a right muddle at the moment, including our ridiculous government....all the best to everyone.

"I Love My Dummy"

I`m getting really slack at this blogging business! But isn`t he adorable? LOL

Been so busy with working over-time and family get-togethers and baby.
Elvis doesn`t like the fact that it`s getting cold and drab outside...

He has a bed in the frontroom,pictured here, rather than on the cold floors. Well for when he isn`t on the err umm....real bed. But he`s still bored...

I`m going to plan on not blogging for awhile but will be visiting as many of my favorite blogs as I can manage instead. Slow internet makes it a slow process downloading everything, but I`ll do it bit by bit.
In the meantime stay warm and cozy and have a lovely day, week and month!

Baby Arrives!

Friday morning at 4:47 my grand baby arrived! He was 9 pounds 5 ounces and mummy had to have an emergency C-Section after 12 hours of labor. The same thing that happened to me with his daddy, except he was 9 pounds 10 ounces and had three chins instead of two hehe.
Everyone is healthy and he is soooooooooooooo beautiful. We`ve been up to see him twice and back again tonight. They come out of the hospital tomorrow. They called him Tatum and he is so chubby and adorable! What a precious little soul he is.

A Waaaaay Too Early Glimpse of Things to Come......

It`s been awhile since I`ve blogged but I`m still trying to fight a bad case of the flu.
This morning as I walked down the hall, I gasped because this is what I saw outside...



Luckily the sun has since come out and is getting rid of this thick layer of frost.
I can`t believe it showed it`s frozen face so early. Surely we won`t be short-changed our autumn as well as our summer.
Baby boy hasn`t arrived yet. He was due on Friday. I went over to my son`s new place and he offered up some wonderful fruit bounty from the trees in the little backyard.
An Italian couple own the house and it`s evident in the wonderful; use they`ve made of the back garden. Quaint old apple and pear trees and in another fenced off section is a vegetable garden and compost area beside an arbor for grape vines.
My Grandbaby should arrive any minute of the next couple of days I should think :)

I made a cushion for Teddy to sit on by the fire and he loves it.


He still manages...believe it or not...to occasionally jump up onto a beam!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend :)
