Sounds like you at a great time with your grandson Susie. Building memories...how sweet.

I keep thinking I need a new and improved laptop...still thinking about it. I'll probably keep this one for a while longer.

How's Tala doing now? Better I hope. What does Tink think of the baby?

Tink loves Caleb. She taught him to throw her ball for her! Couldn't believe it. She won't ever sit still for him to pet her - do Yorkie's (even mixes) ever sit still!? But she bothers him to pieces licking his face. He just gets up now and pushes her away with his hand. Before he could walk he would try to cover his face and turn away. He pulls her tail when he can get it and she just looks at me like "Mom, help!" But she won't turn on him, she's very submissive.
Tala loves him too and stand over him to protect him from Tink or when it's thundering out or someone comes to the door. It's very interesting and cute too. It will be something to see how they treat each other as Caleb grows up.

It's great that they all get along so well. I can just see it. As Caleb grows...the fun will just get better. Enjoy all these moments that are memories in the making.

Sweet memories

Hi little big thread! It's been a while.

Tink and Tala were sick last week. I saw them eating something out in the yard and I think it was toadstools. What fun that was. I called our vet and she said not to worry but keep an eye on them. They're fine but it took two days for them to get back to normal.

Expecting a quiet Thanksgiving this year. My daughter and her husband are on a weight loss food plan that is quite restrictive so we need to modify all the dishes to meet those. We've spent some time coming up with some new recipes that will satisfy our hunger for the traditional foods. We hope!

Toadstools huh? Why do they have to do crazy stuff like that...when they I'm sure are well fed and most likely get a few treats as well. Happy to hear they are both feeling better though. Thanksgiving at my house is always quiet, just hubby and I...but that's okay...we still make a turkey with all the trimmings. Best wishes to you and yours Susie!

I don't know Kathy! Don't they realize they scare their mommies to pieces?!

I come from a medium sized family and there are usually 22 of us plus guests for Thanksgiving so our tables usually seat about 30 people. But since I moved to Texas it's just my daughter, her husband, me and 20 guests! Lots of fun though. The farther away they get from their college years, the fewer the friends that come. They marry and have their own families or move back home or to a different city. The numbers are slowly dwindling. This year I think there are only 4 people who are coming.

So I have less to cook and more time to spend playing with my grandson! Yea!!!

Thanks for the wishes Kathy. I hope you have a restful and loving Thanksgiving too. And to everyone else who visits our little page. Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow Susie that is a huge dinner...30 people??? I come from a pretty large family, but many are gone now or don't live here any more. I think 15 was the most we ever had...and that includes babies and children. I kinda like our little Thanksgiving, just my husband and I. Of course we miss those that are no longer with us, they are always included in our prayers...

Hoping that everyone had a good Thanksgiving

And now on to Christmas

[Micah my love]

Here we go

[Tink's Mom]

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hope you are all well and getting ready for Christmas. I need to get busy baking this week. We are on a healthy menu these days so I won't make all the usual sweets but we have to have cut out cookies and some date pin wheels. I always make a date and Raisin Applesause cake (it's heavy like a fruit cake) cause it was my daddy's favorite and I love it too. Daddy's been gone 12 years this week. One day I'll see him again.

Do you stay home or go to family for Christmas?

We (me and hubs) are staying in town for Xmas, but going over to his parent's house for Xmas eve. His parents moved here in October, so it'll be our first Xmas w/ them here. Xmas day, me and hubs will probably just veg out together in our PJs, which is perfect! What are you doin'?
