A Lazy Sunday

 We haven't had a relaxing day like this in so long!  It was just plain yummy!  The Wood Artist didn't have to work.  The kids had an ice skating party to attend, but it was cancelled due to unseasonably warm weather.  (There was too much water on the ice!)  So we just hung out with each other. 

Laughing Water worked on her pinewood derby car for this year's race.  The Wood Artist is working on Laughing Water's recipe box.  He is making her a very special one with dove tail corners and all.  We'll keep you updated.

 Mr. Blueberry Eyes' friend from across the fence knocked on the door around 10a.m. and ended up staying until 6 p.m. or so.  Really, this child's parents have never even met us.  The grandmother has met us, but has never been to our house!  He comes over for hours and they almost never call and check on him.  I really don't mind because he doesn't actually live next door, so he isn't here all of the time.  And, he is a sweet little guy.  He and Mr. Blueberry Eyes have a lot of fun together.  Today, they played snap circuits, made a store/fort, ate pizza and blueberry muffins and cheered on the New York Jets.

Laughing Water has a parakeet now.  His name is Echoe (yes, with an "e"). He is a pretty little thing.

The Might Hunting Hound is giving us grief yet again.  Last time it was her salivary gland.  This time, I think it is her salivary gland again.  We knew it was beginning to swell and I was planning to call the vet tomorrow.  But, we couldn't find her today.  We launched a frantic search and found her under Mr. Blueberry Eyes' bed.  "It" had burst and she had fluid/blood/whatever drenched down the front of her.  We washed her as best we could with colloidal silver and are waiting anxiously for the vet to open in the morning.  We do have a pet E.R., but I trust our vet more.  I'm going to wait and hope I'm not making the wrong decision!
