I have so many photos to take of my items to list on ebay today. Since I last blogged we got a new puppy for Emma to play with All seems to be working out beautifully. He ( Bailey) loves the cats and Black wants to be his best friend. Bailey is 8 months and we celebrated Emma's second birthday yesterday with extra Treats and of course toys, Gosh, she and Bailey love to play tug!
Here is Emma with her 2nd Birthday Bone. She is going to hide it from Bailey, He does not quite know what to do with one. So she took his also and I gave him another small rawhide piece that Jordan likes. He never liked the ends until Megan and then Emma had chewed one down some and got it soggy, of course he had older teeth.
Here is Bailey,
I also found a Valentine Day collar for the cats, but I just found one so they had to share it. Maybe I can make one. I need to sew the bells back on the Christmas collars for Emma and Barkley, my grandog.
Have you been watching the Olympics on Television. Isn't Vancouver and Whistler Mountain just the Best ! The Today Show is in Victoria this AM and I have been there too! We did not have Afternoon Tea at the Empress Hotel opened in 1908 as they did today, darn, missed the opening! ( grins)
But, Victoria is just as beautiful as Vancouver and I believe they are the best in the world, Like I have seen the world, yeh! But, they are really eye-inspiring sigtshts to see. We went by car ferry to Victoria and then the Doube decker Bus ride was fabulous. You could over-see the gardener's in their backyards working at the awesome flowersd and veggies in their Backyards! You could overlook the tree hedges as I called them. No one had wood fences like we have, they had Christmas Tree hedges! Really Cedar trees but too Kool! I want one! Seriously the trees go to the sky in the Northwest and Canada. Nothing like the pine trees here; and fragrant! Oh so good!
We stayed at Whistler at a time share my husband's uncle had and it was April/May in 2000. I shall find some photos to show you. The slopes were only open to snowboards and an event from SOL beer so I helped with that event, the beer I mean, it was on a Beautiful sunny day we could sit outside the mountain outside the chalet at the top and seee forever! A cold beer with my coat taken off reaked of happiness. We just sat there. even got a Leather Jacket at the Hard Rock Cafe Whistler, Canada. Those are wonderful memories I cherish. We both could hike them and we did alot of it.
Then when we moved to Seattle we went to Vancouver quite often to Stanley Park. We said when we pass for our daughter to leave a park bench around Elliott Bay in our memory, only way we could afford one is Dead! Oh well, someone will enjoy it like we did.
Seriously, my husband pulled a good one on me the first time we visited. I wanted a hog dog at the souvineer booth form the walk around the bay and he insisted we wait abit and then he surprised me with lunch at the Tea Garden Teahouse. Oh My, I even saved the menu! Do you do that?
What a memorable lunch and feeling on being on the top of the world. The northwest calms me. I feel serene there. Well, the Olympics are being well watched in our home.
Bob has really been enjoying them even when he works if it is calm he can watch TV as a police/fire/911 dispatcher. I have trouble sitting down and watching TV when he is at work, all is never done around here. But, the skaters were beautiful last night. I love ice skating! And skiing! Well watching both! I never tried ice skating, no reason why, I kind of wish I had, I used to roller skate as a kid. All the time; I had birthday roller skating parties and swim parties growing up with my friends. I invited 8-10 girls and we had a ball on my birthdays. And speaking of Birthdays. I want to wish my friend Dani, at Eagle Wings a very Happy Birthday today.
I also took my first three hour beading class yesterday and I am making a netted weave bracelet. Here is what I got done yesterday.
