Bailey and Friends

There have been a lot of advances since Squirt's first surgery. ;) I wasn't meaning to discourage you...just sharing my feelings about Squirt's situation. I can't remember what that first surgery was called, but it was a new method when she had hers done. She was born with her lower right leg off-set 25 degrees and had to be basically cut off and rebuilt. I remember the surgeon telling me there was a strip of hide left intact on the inside of her leg - everything else was cut away from the original structure.

Dang Susan,

What happened to the pink bubble wrap Marie and I sent you? I hope it did not get washed out to sea, we ordered it special just for you;):)

I hope you are okay. Not sure what to think about Little Miss, I am sorry she is having issues. The work pug had that surgery on one knee and her knee has been fine ever since so keep positive thoughts.

Popcorn and a movie, lots of rest, positive vibes, NO MORE CLEANING:D:D:D:D is your prescription for the weekend from nurse Addy.;););););););););)

Girlfriend, please take care of yourself and your house is really beautiful. Can we see a photo when the yard is back to normal? I want to see your plants:):):):)

Okay when I said Baby steps. I meant in the light, not the dark. My bad, I should have gone for clarification.

Oh my gosh. PT sounds horridly painful, but if it's working. Then you got to do what you got to do.

Wonder if Bailey is having sympathy pops in her knees. <j/k> :) Hope she's going to be okay. Takes a lot to keep up with you.

yay on the house being A-Okay. I'm settled in, just finished watching the Hurricane Sandy concert on NBC. Looks like the Red Cross is going to get lots of donations tonight! whoo hooo

hugs,
Sharlene

Addy-You won't have to wait to see. I will round up some pictures of the entire yard taken at other times....and I'll take one now so you can see how it looked post flood. They are already talking of another nor'easter coming through here next Wednesday. :eek: Maybe it's time to take a vacation to the Caribbean for one or two months??!!:rolleyes:;):confused:

Pink bubble wrap..............now where did I put that?????

It's a good thing I don't drink and I don't think the falling is related to pain meds. I think I just have been so tired that the ol noggin' isn't performing at top speed. Just because I slept for 2 hours....woke up and did my business......did not mean it was a good idea to come upstairs. Maybe Bob should get a straight jacket for me (?):p

I'll try to get pictures posted this weekend.

Love,
Susan

OK-as promised, I have posted 3 pictures of the house not under flood conditions. The pictures are from 2004 but things basically look the same except for the plantings being much larger now. :eek: I have lots of pictures of parts of the yard but these were the best to represent the house and yard. I'll take some pictures in spring so you can see the difference in growth. It's phenomenal! :):)

It's a beautiful home! Hopefully come spring this year it will look just as gorgeous and all the water damage will have disappeared.

hugs,
Sharlene

Dear Addy and Sharlene-
Thank you for your kind comments on the house with the nonbasement. :)I've grown pretty fond of it and, yes Addy, sitting on the porch with lemonade is a fine way to spend some time. :DThe house faces SW so the afternoon sun shines on the porch and it's a wonderful place to sit and feel the warmth of the sun. Being on a cul-de-sac, there is not much traffic going by which makes for optimal enjoyment of birds and, at night, the sound of the waves hitting the shore. It kind of makes up for having the worries of flooding pop up from time to time.

-Susan

Hey Sus!!!!

So from now on I can close my eyes and picture us sitting on your porch, listening to the ocean and gabbing away while Bailey, Zoe and KoKo run aroud your yard.:D:D:D


What a wonderful day dream:)

I hope you are feeling better and have regrouped since your fall.

Love ya

Hi Addy! Yes, indeed-I am feeling much better and much more regrouped. :) I think the shock of the fall has subsided and the resulting jar to my pain/recovery program is now back on track. It was a spooky couple of days there. Most of my 3 large, colorful bruises are almost gone.

We had more flooding today, from that nor'easter. Nothing compared to last week's, but I have had ENOUGH!!! now.:mad: It is beginning to retreat and the weather for the next 4 days is supposed to be sunny and warmer than average and I can sure use that!

Ever heard of a Smith Island cake? Well we have one and it shall be sampled tonight. Come on by, there's plenty!! Bring the four legged ones as well!! :D

Love,
Sus

I will have to google Smith Island Cake. It sounds yummy!!!!:D:D

I hope Mother Nature gives you a break in the weather department. You sure could use it. We had a glorious weekend but the cold front is moving in. we were able to finish stowing away the patio furniture and clean out the gutters so I guess let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.:):(


What Turkey Day plans do you have?
