Sam, 2-years-old yesterday, 4 party photos

15 years ago

Yesterday was Sam's second birthday. He's still a pain in the patootie, but I'll admit he's cute.

I forgot to put their hats on until after they'd eaten the "cake," (a small can of dog food decorated with apple slices and kibble.)

As soon as I took the little white box (holds all the hats, etc.) down from the mudroom closet, Harry knew it was "Birthday Time." He got all excited! Special food! Apples! Tennis Balls! Funny HATS! Mom sings! He can HOWL! It was a puppy party.

Wes, long suffering husband that he is, posed the boys and kept them from getting on the table. He "graciously" blew out the candle. LOL

Sam had fun. Harry had fun. I had fun. Wes had fun too, even if he wouldn't admit it.

And yes; they're sitting on the kitchen chairs which were pulled far enough away from the table so they could just reach the paper plates without actually getting on the table. Harry thought the antique lace tablecloth was a nice touch.

"Where's my candle, Mom?"

Wes has to remind Sam to wait until the candle is blown out.

Even as he eats Harry keeps an eye on Sam's plate.

Samuel vom Moorehaus, age 2. It's so hard to photograph his jet black face. He really does have two eyes. He luuuuvs his tennis balls.

Oh geez Caroline, I don't know about you sometimes! LOL But I did notice how each of them were eying the other's plates! Gotta see if the other gets more y'know. There's a saying something about the apples are always greener on the other plate!

My little Lhasa Apso was a nut about tennis balls too. My GF would buy him fancy dog toys but forget that, an old tennis ball was much preferred. He'd also play by himself. He'd go to the top of the steps and drop it and it would bounce, bounce, bounce down the steps, his head bouncing in rhythm to it. Then when it got to the bottom he'd run down and grab it, bring it back up and start it again. He also liked to do it about 3 AM when I was trying to get some sleep. Occasionally it'd go off the side of the steps and land behind the entertainment center. At least I could sleep until he'd con another tennis ball out of me.

The boys look quite happy. Did you have some doggy champagne for them too?

Thanks Mehitabel!!!! Really!!!!a ton!!!!! T-bred ive been growing it for 2 years almost! it seems like just yesterday i got it in the mail. Uhh ive been growing it outside untill winter came,so its been overwintering on my dresser underlights, and i let it sit out there in a south window on my porch along with all my others. this blooming plant was actually A division of the original plant. the pot was so crowded that the plant started to decline. i was so scared to divide it but it all turned out amazing! this is the smaller portion of the division. as we speak its making roots. i just hope it does not exhaust itself. but it will have plenty of time to rest after. i like to give it a month or two rest when its done blooming like my book says to. so kepp your eyes out for that album im gathering the photos now. Calvin I love green orchids too!!!!!! there is just something about them that you just dont see everyday ao when you see it its like really they come in green toooo! (LoL) Im crazy about this plant!!!

LindaC, that may be, and we'll never actually know. She said she was lying on a towel on the cement pool deck and got really hot, and started feeling sick to her stomach so she jumped into the pool to cool off. That's all she remembers. However, Amanda has grand mal seizures, the kind with a lot of involuntary muscular movements. Ashley has been present since that time when Amanda has had a seizure and says that she didn't have a seizure in the pool, she just jumped in and suddenly sank to the bottom with no thrashing or flailing. Amanda had never had a seizure before that incident. Since Ashley was there and described it to the neurologist, and it didn't appear that she had a seizure in the pool because the type of seizures she now experiences is very noticeable, the doctors all agree that they think she had some type of physical reaction going from so hot to so cool so quickly and passed out. I guess, at this point, the cause doesn't matter, only the effect. I do know that I'm darned lucky to still have her and equally lucky that her seizures are very well controlled with medication. She has had four that we know of in her lifetime, and none in the last five years, but she tried to go off her medication when she was 24 and that's when she had the last one. Annie

Remarkable 100-year-old color photos of Russia

These photos are fantastic. The shots could have been made by using three cameras mounted on a common rail and carefully aligned with each other. All three cameras would be tripped at the same time by a special release cable. (Now, I'll have to go back and read how it was really done.) I am struck by the harshness of the landscapes. It is reflected in people's faces, but the colorful architecture and clothing adds flair to their lives. The railroad bridge was interesting. I noticed that the supports had ice and debris breakers built on the upstream side. That would be the angled prow with a sharp edge. Not long before these pictures were made, Russia suffered through a drought and famine. I'm not sure about the date, but I think it was in the 1890s. I have a book titles, "Letters to the President", where a grateful thank you is recorded from the Russian Ambassidor to the US thanking the US citzens for a ship load of food stock and shipment of wheat.

Last night was the ornament party- 1 photo...

Thanks, ladies. Yes, it's a lot of fun and it seems like the ladies are really outdoing themselves every year. I do have an idea for next years ornie, in fact I have almost everything I need to make them. I saw on FlickR some ornaments that look like those candied fruit slices, you know the ones you see in the nice candy stores, they look like a slice of orange, or lemon, lime, etc. They make them in citrus colors and red.... well, these were felt, 2 colors in each one, like dark green/lime green or dark yellow/bright yellow, etc, and covered with "sugar", which was a square crystal glitter. Simple, but VERY CUTE. I was thinking of making a set of 3 for each lady. I bought all the stuff to make them in case my ships didn't turn out. So I'll be making those, and I won't wait until early December, either! lol bRAT Kat- those are his little mittened hands you're seeing, ya perv! lol It's not a good photo, I realize that. He is absolutely the most charming, old-fashioned little guy, we all flipped over him. The 2 girls on either side of me, their guys had glittery felt shoes- mine has plain. I told them their little guys were gay. lolol And their little scarves are so cute, a tiny button holds it in place. He is perfection. I recommend these kinds of parties to everyone. What a great way to get together, have lots of fun and good food and be creative AND get a huge assortment of ornies. Oh. I don't do a tree anymore, I'm sad to say. Too many cheesy cats in this house that would tear it up. I keep some of the ornaments and share some with friends. I have a lovely assortment in boxes! lol Thanks, WC, about the cat. I hope to hear from the vet this morning that I can pick him up. Fingers crossed!

Cute, cute. when my late dog Blarney was one, we had a party with hats. His cake was a mound of hamburger with a candle on it. Never took pictures, wish I had.

And my mutt terrier Waifer loved to chase tennis balls. Every morning I'd throw the ball outside for her over and over. She never tired of "retrieving" it.

I love it. Happy Be-lated Birthday Sam!

My Great Dane used to run to the tall cupboard in the livingroom and whine whenever I said "Merry Christmas time!". No matter what time of year it was. That's where I kept the dogs' xmas treats. She never forgot.

Love the pictures! I would love to have a party for my Lhaso but she does not like other animals. Very jealous. She even tries to chase them when they are on television. A few years ago Wal-Mart had an actual dog birthday cake in the pet section. We got one for Sandy and she loved it. Can't find them anymore.
