As I write this post I want to share so many great memories that over the years have brought me great happiness. 

But where can I begin???  There are so many stories that our little ball of fur made life unique in her own way. So for know I will just cherish them in my heart.
 

And it is ironic that you left us as the clouds opened up and pouring rain started, I guess they were tears from heaven.   And we joined it. 
 

But soon we realized you were at peace and finally free from your plight.  Although we will miss you we are glad for the 17 years of happiness you gave us.

So very sorry Carrie is gone but so glad she’s not suffering any more. 
You’ll never stop missing her, but the gift of having her for 17 years was a blessing to be forever thankful for.

Sue, I am so sorry for your loss; may you find solace in knowing that Carrie is no longer in pain, but is now in peace.💔

Debbi, we have been to San Juan many times.  I hate to miss it as it is our CVS stop!!!

When we were in San Juan a couple of weeks ago, the line inside CVS was all the way to the back of the store!!  I told Jim we really didn't need lotion that badly, and we left and got back onto the ship.

What area in NJ were those farms located at? Not sure I ever heard of those 2 farms and I used to live in NJ.

 

Bergen County

Tice Farms - Chesnut Ridge Road in Woodcliff Lake

Dipiero Farms - Summit Ave. in Montvale

 

Approx. 5 minutes from each other.

 

Where in NJ were you?

Our local vet is within walking distance of us.  Max will happily walk there.  Happily walk into the waiting room and receive attention from the reception staff and other owners waiting but the minute the lovely lady vet opens her door all bets are off.

 It takes major canjoling, treats and a gentle but very firm long push for Max to be examined on the floor  (he will not tolerate being lifted on the examination table) one inch inside her examination room - that’s as far as he will go.

We are home from the soccer game. We are still freezing even though we have been home for a while. The high today was 8C and felt colder with windchill.
 

Unfortunately they lost 5-0 and could have played much better. considering they have only had one practice I think it went OK because the team they played was spectacular.  Our goalie is amazing and because of that the score wasn’t more one sided.  Not much more to say than that, at this point in time.

I know of those places.  I grew up in Montclair!  Haven't lived there since 1985 though.

My 24 yo DS played soccer and I always hated the spring outdoor season cause it was always cold and or rainy in Michigan.  Maybe had a few warm days at the end of May.  Fall was my favorite!

I hear you 100%. We have snow on the forecast for tonight and hopefully it will be melted by their game on Thursday. After that our forecast warms up with lows just above signal digits Celsius.

Yup, freeze warning here tonight and tomorrow night.  Can't catch a break this Spring.

A bit on the animal front here. We are waging “war” against a robin. It is trying to build a nest on our garage motion lights and side porch pillars. We attached caution tape which flaps in the breeze and scares them away.  They think it’s perfect, high and out of the elements. 
 

 

Meanwhile our security cat is keeping them away from the front porch pillars.

Oh Sue...I am sorry sorry to hear about Carrie. She was beautiful. It's comforting to know she is no longer in pain and she had someone to love her till the end.

Looking forward to pics of the next precious fur baby.

We have bird nests on either side of our retractable awnings.  Bird poop on the deck...aargh!  Last year, Jim put some chicken wire, and anything else he could think of, and yet they still get in and nest.  I don't mind when they nest in other places here, but the deck..yuck!  I watched a pigeon fly into my yard, and fly under the solar panels on my neighbor's roof today.

I hope as you are reading this, that you have warmed up some!

Years ago when I coached LL Softball, there were many a freezing and windy cold day on the field!  Not as cold as your Canadian cold, though!

I think it’s hard for soccer players to play in those conditions considering the outfits they have on. It’s not like football with pants, pads and helmets. A soccer players has a lot of exposed skin making it hard to concentrate when your freezing.

I had that happen last year on one of our motion lights on our deck.  I ended up putting strips of aluminum foil up there that kept it away.  Nothing started yet this year.
