I chatted yesterday morning with Sue by email and she lives in the same town as my Aunt...so hopefully I'll get to meet her in the live some day!! I just love this picture of her...She has such a gleam in her eyes which just resonates the wonderful person she is!
Here's her sweet furbaby Izzi!
These are her granddoggies!

Pics of our snowfall (Northerners please don't laugh!)
Comments (20)I love all of the pics! Ladydonna--I may have snow pics similar to yours by the end of the weekend. Rare but not unheard of here. Weatherman keeps threatening, but he usually fibs. Edward and Sue-- Yup... that's the kind of snow I go to the mountains to see! Wonderful to play in but I thank my stars that I don't have to live in it. Moved to the Pacific Northwest from Minnesota/Alaska 30 years ago. Wintertime never leaves me with the desire to go back. At least you don't have to feel guilty about not doing chores in the yard! Stay warm! Julie...See MoreMarilyn Monroe...a late season bloomer
Comments (12)HH...not a problem at all..thank you for the thought...and good that you took a wee break! It's a lot of work, canning...but in the middle of winter you and yours will be the lucky ones enjoying the fruits of your labor. ..YUM! My MM opened only two flowers yesterday for the first time, but even with the warm weather and sunshine we are having, they sure are slowwww to open...waiting to see if they all do. If they don't, it's alright...the buds are so stunning on their own. Looking forward to next year to see how much growth my 2-yr. old takes on. Happy canning, HH! :-) Jo....See MorePiggy Sue...two pics
Comments (29)Most of the possums don't need rehabbing. People trap them because they get in their yards and eat their cat food. I relocate them. Fortunately, possums relocate easily...most wildlife doesn't. If they would just leave them alone and put up their darned cat food, the possums would move on. They seldom stay in one place for very long and they have a very short life span. I also get orphans that I raise and injured ones that truly do need help. Right now I have 5 possums here that are non releasable, one that is a baby, one that has a broken leg but is almost well, and one that could leave if she wanted to, and one that was raised by someone as a pet and is too tame to be turned loose because he has no aggression, whatsoever. Sometimes I have as many as 40 or more, tho....See MoreMarilyn C
Comments (17)He had money...and he gave most of it to me. I was spposed to get his ashes, but when they found out about the money, they wouldn't give me his ashes. Well, that's okay. I know what he would say. "It's just an old body. It doesn't matter." I told him that would happen...so, at least I wasn't surprised. He didn't want to go to a nursing home, and we made this agreement seven years ago. I promised him I would take care of him until he died. I am glad he didn't have to die, hooked up to tubes or forgotten in the back room, of a nursing home. They were talking bad about me...saying I only did it for the money, but let me tell you...I couldn't go or do anything without taking care of him, and it was a 40 mile round trip over there that I made every day at least once, and sometimes as often as four times a day. They were too important and too busy to be bothered with his care...so leave it to me...my time isn't valuable like theirs. I guess they thought I should have done this for free. It isn't that I wouldn't have. I couldn't afford the cost of driving over there and back every day...and the hours it took to take care of him. He did nothing. He didn't even flush the toilet. I took care of him, his house, his yard, his truck, his taxes, brought him a hot meal every day, and kept the fridge well stocked for him. I brought him books, magazines and movies and sat and talked to him. I treated him as kindly as I would want to be treated. The last 4 years of his life, he never stepped foot out of his house. I kept him alive....when they wanted him to die...simply by being there and making sure he was never around anyone who was sick. He had emphysema so badly, he couldn't walk to the kitchen without difficulty. He was a very intelligent man, well read but extremely difficult because he wouldn't do anything he was supposed to do...like not smoke, eat right, etc. I'm not a saint. I got paid for taking care of him, but if anyone doesn't think that is a burden to take on, and one that went on for years...think again. I have no regrets though because I was very kind to him, and he died knowing I was there, and in his own house and that is what meant the most to him. The week I spent sleeping on his floor, I had to bring all three of my dogs...so I was up at daylight, walking the dogs, and all around him, live his family. They had to have seen that or my truck in the driveway all night. You know they had to have realized something was wrong...but not one of them called or came by. Probably afraid I would ask them to help do something....See More- 16 years ago
