OUCH, this is ME now

Well, I'm back from visiting my mom. I really had a nice visit will her. Mom really doesn't believe I am her daughter, but she wishes I were. I corrected her for a while, and then I just play along, as us being good friends who really love each other. ❤

We did some fun things and helpful things, like food shopping, few meals out, visiting people and a little shopping for pleasure. Mom brought a lovely watch and insisted on getting me one too. I will have to show you next time, no photo at the moment.

So, I got home Friday night, it was so nice to be back with my "Honey" and Jack! Then on Saturday I did a big food shopping because, daughter, Amy and her boyfriend and Leroy the dog were coming for the long weekend. (Martin Luther King Day). Does anyone else feel like they are contently at the food store? I do for sure!
Well, we had lunch, chatted, and decided to have a nice walk before Lasagna dinner (which I had made earlier in the day)

Look what happened and then I will explain

 A Neighborhood dog came running full speed into my right knee! OUCH! Oh, it was painful. So I fell onto the road and everyone came running, meanwhile I am just waiting for the pain to subside. I have to be driven down the driveway and carried into the house. We immediately iced the knee and ACE bandaged it up. This dog did not steer away from me,  just plowed right into me, he is a black lab and still a wild pup, so it was just an unfortunate accident. This all happened Saturday evening, so Sunday morning we had to go to the ER. My leg had swelled up during the night and I could not put pressure or walk at all. After x-rays and visit. I am happy to report no breaks, but I will be seeing an Orthopedic doctor this week, after swelling goes down, to see if I have a tore ligament. Oh boy, what a nuisance. I can't believe this.

I was then completely taken care of and spoiled with flowers.

                                                  AND Balloon

                                                   WHOOOO doesn't love an OWL

                                                    I was given Wine.... sure to help!

                             Homemade Calzones were made, before baked, veggie and meat.

 So I will be having a lot of time to work on my Grannies! Also worked on while visiting Mom.

 I leave you with Leroy and my TWO ANGELS who helped me through this ordeal.
❤Thank you Amy and Andy❤



I will let you know how I am doing, can't wait to get up to date with all your blogs I have missed. Thanks so much for visiting and listening to me. I enjoy your visits and lovely words. Thank you and hope you are all well and enduring this strange winter!

Hi Friends,

This will be a post of updates just in the past week. It's been busy and mostly in a good way. Although, Jack got a nasty skin infection. His cousin Leroy, the silver lab, was up for a visit with his mommy, my daughter, and they had lots and lots of fun. They ran and romped about and went swimming in a new pond we found. The swimming was so fun for them we took them the next day too, this was during our Indian summer weather we were having. Well, our visitors left, I went to work and Jack went to doggy daycare. When I was dropping him off I noticed he had a dirty face, but honestly I was running late and decided he would have to go to DDC with a dirty face! BAD MOMMY! Well, when I picked him up I noticed his face was messy and dirty. Sorry this is turning into a l--o--n--g story. Got home scrubbed him up and noticed oozing and an odor. Well, time to call the vet and make an appointment for the next day. Jack was getting lethargic and would just lie in his bed, I could not wait for the appointment time. Bottom line Jack had a raging skin infection from the pond. Apparently there was a bacteria that found a nick or scratch on Jack that settled in and the infection started. Leroy was not affected at all, thankfully, because it was nasty and he is a puppy.  So the Vet shaved the side of his face gave me lotion to cleanse his face 2 times a day, a cream to put on after and antibiotics for 15 days! The antibiotic alone was $125.00, very powerful medicine.

Let me show you what I am talking about. Starting with the fun and then the  *not so pretty* part.

Amy, Jack and Leroy

Happy Doggies

Tug-of-war anyone

Oh, feels so good on a HOT day

So cute aren't they?

Before we went to Vets

Thought it might have been a Hot Spot, something pets get in the heat and when they stay damp.

But no, after getting all shaved a raging, inflamed infection. My poor Jack

Jack is feeling so much better and is on the mend.

I will update you later but he is soooooo much better, and the mediation is working!





I have wanted to show you a picture of "Little E" in the sweater I made for her for her Birthday.

I think it fits great with room to grow and to be able to wear with tops underneath! She a happy little one❤





Couldn't leave out "Little-Big A", I bought them these matching dresses with leggings. There are so many sweet clothes for little girls. They love to wear dresses!!!

I think I will leave you all with some Fall pictures from around here. Foliage isn't as great as past years, I think because we have had so many raining days that a lot of the leaves have fallen.




Pasture on my road

Delicious apples-sweet and crisp

Ponies and Jack (leroy was scared) down our road

Some color

Beautiful sunrise out my front door

Can you see the sheep?

Hasn't Leroy grown?

Jack says good bye and no more swimming in this pond!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm doing to say good bye. Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read my lengthy  post. I appreciate all my followers and new friends too.

Take care, xoRobin❤
