Klamath Falls Dog Show

Well, this weekend after the Chicks brunch on Saturday and again after church on Sunday , Mary and I checked out our local AKC dog show.  Wow!  what a huge assortment of dogs.  Everything from a tiny chihuahua to a Tibetan Mastiff. Some were groomed to perfection too.  I think every moment they weren't in the show ring they were being combed and brushed. 

One good thing was being able to talk to all the breeders and handlers and learn some of the personality traits of different breeds.  Overall it was fun , but my problem was I wanted one of everything.  I loved them all.  Good thing I don't have my own place yet with a nice backyard.  I would have lots of dogs if I went to many dog shows.

welcome home

Last weekend we went to the Mule sale and show and I was interested in the cast iron cooking demonstration.  They made biscuits and stuffed chicken breast, enchilada casserole and a great bread pudding.

Then on Monday evening I went to our Mother Hens house and housesat for week while she went to the coast.  She took her dog so it was so quiet at her place and I enjoyed it very much.  I worked on a quilt and finished to top while I was there and took care of her 6 chickens.  It was great to get away and relax but it's always good to come home.  This was how the calves showed me just how much they missed me as I was trying to unload the truck when I got back.

 Gidget was so happy to see me , she wouldn't leave my side for 2 days.  It is nice having her little body on the end of the bed at night. What would we all do without our pets?

Girls Night Out

Well last night some of us Klamath Falls Charming Chicks went to the Ragland Theater to see The Four Bitchin Babes and their presentation of Diva Nation.

We started the evening with "Margaritas" at El Palacio then walked to the theater.  We were treated to a wonderful evening of comical songs, stories and music. It was great to have our own time together. We need to do this more often.

Now that I have shipped everything to her I can share with you what I have been doing.

Sewing for my Daughters birthday

These are the pillows I have been busy making for my daughters home.

Enough Already!!!

I am not whining but come on now, this is enough.  I went to Calif. last Thursday and it was in the 80's and came home Sunday to lovely weather here in Klamath Falls and then today this is whats going on.  Not good.
My daughter in law gave me two beautiful camelia trees and Mary and I planted then in two lovely large containers and put on on the deck, well I just went out with hat and gloves and jacket to bring them in.  Not easy as they are very heavy.  I have to save them as they are not going to make it in the cold. I did expect when summer is over to bring them in but not now.  We have temporarilly placed them near Billy Birds' cage and he would love to get out and climb on them.  That's not happening either.  I know that this is just going to make us all appreciate the warm weather that much more when it finally gets here.

April Showers brings the snow?

Well, this is what I woke up to this morning.  Not Happy!!! Good for farmers I guess and will delay the stickers in the yard for a while.  I am leaving tomorrow for my sons house in California.  I might have to wait and leave on Friday if we get another night of this.  I am driving down to Lodi and picking up a u-haul trailer and coming home Sunday with all my posessions and storing them in Klamath Falls for a while.  I will be so excited to see my grandaughters as well as family and friends.  Haven't seen anyone since Christmas.
