209/365 Are We There Yet? (Saturday's Post)

Now that we have moved to a hotel closer to the hospital, we have internet.  Hopefully, I will post pictures daily now.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Dad and I sat out in the sitting area and Chance and Daniel watch TV in the bedroom.

208/365 Even More Catching Up (Friday's Post 7/30)

Here is the sitting area of our hotel suite.

 We had the best Chicago pizza from Giordano's Pizza.  YUMMY

207/365 More Catching Up (Thursday's Post 7-29)

It was funny, we saw three hot air balloons in Wisconsin on the way down here.  Now we saw one here in Illinois.

Driving into Chicago for Dad's treatments, here is a shot of Chicago in the distance.
Here is the White Sox bridge and stadium we pass daily.

206/365 Catching Up (Wednesday's Post)

Here is Chance in a nice little hat.
 Here is Dad's medical records, sadly, they are the ones only from October until now.

Here is Jedi Daniel's self portrait.

Here are some shots from our drive to Illinois.

202/365 Finally Finished

I finished mom's bag yesterday.  Ta - da....


Also, I will be taking a picture every day, but where we are staying in Illinois with my dad doesn't have internet.  I may or may not be able to upload pictures every day.  But I will make sure to take on daily and keep up.

200/365 Colors of the World...Spice Up Your Life!

I love crayons.  I don't know why, but every year when they bring out the back to school stuff, I have to buy my cheap box of Crayola crayons.

199/365 My little place in the world

I started to set up a little corner in our living room to do crafty things...scrapbook, card making, and sewing (and anything else that strikes my fancy).  I know I have a room downstairs, but I just don't go down there like I should.  Hopefully now, I will be a little more crafty!  Plus I am learning to sew, so that is exciting.  I am just starting and nothing is put away yet.  I will post after pictures once it is all up and ready.

198/365 More Flowers

My flowers are blooming out front.  I just dumped a bunch of packets of random seeds and the bags of butterfly flowers etc that you can get.  Not really sure what everything is, but I know they are cute!

197/365 Sew What's New

I made a cute little pincushion tonight.  Not bad for my first attempt.  I found some discount fabric at Walmart for under a buck for both pieces, so I thought I would try my hand at it.

One side is polka dots and the other watermelon.

196/365 We Didn't Start the Fire...oh yes we did!

Dustin, Chance, and Caid stopped on their way to Chicago to see Dad.  We grilled burgers and hot dogs and fired up the fireplace in the backyard.  We roasted marshmellows, or sharshmellows as Camden calls them.  Yummy!

195/365 Love Bites

My little nephew Carson gave me a bite on my upper arm when we were playing yesterday, well, really Friday, but I haven't been to bed yet so it was yesterday to me!   It hurts still and is a really nice color.  Little brat!  :-)

194/365 Shirts and more shirts

Our dryer is broke again.  Hopefully, Ed can fix it for good or Dustin will bring their extra dryer.  I am tired of hanging clothes around the house. If not, I need to get a clothesline outside, this sucks.

193/365 Little Box

I received this little box as part of a prize at a scrapbook event.  It is so cute.  It had little candies inside.  I want to try my hand at making them.  Too cute.

I may have already posted a picture of this box, but I am too lazy tonight to go and look.  :-)

191/365 Pretty Flowers

Deb brought me flowers today as a thank you for making cards for the team.  What a sweetie!  They are so pretty, she grew them in her garden.  They smell and look fantastic!

190/365 Woo Hoo Laundry

Our dryer has been broke for over two weeks, this is what it looked like when we threw down all our laundry.  You can't even see the stairs.  It will take a week to get it all washed.  Sigh...but hey, clean clothes that I don't have to drag to the laundromat!

189/365 Cuddle Up Pups!

Rafferty and Sophie were cuddled up on our bed when we woke up this morning.  How sweet are they!

188/365 Teddy Bear

Daniel's sister bought him this cute cloth to make a bear.  It is one of Daniel's to do projects, he wants to sew a stuffed animal.  I believe he is going to practice on this patchwork bear.

187/365 Pea Pickin' Hearts

Mom shelled our peas from the CSA tonight.  Sophie and Rafferty each had a little treat, and loved the peas.  Crazy dogs!

186/365 Little Doggies

Rafferty went and got his hair done today.  Now he looks like a little alien.  But he is our little alien.

I love this picture of him barking and Sophie just watching him.

Of course I had to get a tongue shot, him and his tongue when I am trying to get a good picture.

And of course, the two little trouble makers.

185/365 Car

This car was parked outside of Barnes and Noble in a handicap spot.  I think the poor little car might be the one that is handicapped. There wasn't one spot on the car that wasn't dinged.

I want this so bad...

183/365 The Sky is Falling

I know two days in a row of sky pictures, but the sky was really crazy looking tonight!  Not sure what was going on.  From this....look at those clouds in the middle.
  Over to this...all in the same sky.

182/365 Happy 4th of July

I bought the dogs each a rawhide treat, Sophie wisely took hers outside and sat under the table and ate hers.

When I ran over to feed the fish and pick up the tall baby gate for Brodie, the sky was such a pretty pink.  The picture is blurry but the pink is so pretty.

Here is a quick picture of some fireworks going off.  I love fireworks! 

Happy July 4th!

181/365 Wind Power

Ran to the store over in Moorhead today and snapped a picture of the wind turbine over there.  They are so huge!
