I live in So. California with my husband, two darling Yorkies, Amanda and Allie, and Buddy, the Amazon Parrot. I stay busy, though retired now, reading, sometimes making quilts, and doing a whole lot of X stitch samplers. My husband is a lifetime hot rodder. We really enjoy taking the 1932 Plymouth out on the road. Have been as far as Canada, Texas, Utah, Arizona and places in between. Hopefully we will be on the road again soon.
Reintroducing the girls..Now nine months old.Patty
Oh my goodness!
It has been over a year since I did this, I wonder if I will remember?
Much has gone on since the last time I remember posting.
We lost our sweet Phoebe last February. She was doing just fine until she wasn't. So we had to allow her to go be with Annie..What wonderful girls they were!!
Ronnie and I have been doing fine through this COVID outbreak. We do take all the precautions, wear masks and wash our hands... at times we wear gloves. When we have gone off, staying in hotels, we bring wipes and completely clean the whole place. We also have always brought our own pillows when we travel. No one comes into our room but us. We wrap the remote in a wipe..though we don't watch much TV. Ronnie likes to play his Spider and other games. I read or listen to books while I do some stitching.
We did go to Bonneville for some racing in September. Rodney and Alison went with us and after that week we drove home, going through Tahoe, and spent the night at the cabin they have there in Tahoe. I had never been to Lake Tahoe before. It is very nice!! We had planned to return for Thanksgiving, but now COVID is resurging so we won't do that.
I was going stir crazy when the COVID started and picked up cross stitching again. There are some Floss Tubes that I Love to watch on Youtube. Several of my favorites are, Saltbox Stitcher, Brenda and the Serial Starter, Nicola Parkman*, and Quilt Roadies ~ also her Stitch Roadies.
In September we were lonely for our beloved Yorkies and decided we could still enjoy one more set of puppies. It is VERY hard to find Yorkshire Terriers! We did find two. One was born in Rancho Cucamonga (?sp) and the other was in Sacramento. They were born 4 days apart in August. One is a Parti Sable, her name is Alisa, called Allie, and the other is a Parti Traditional, she is Amanda, called Mandy.. They are 12 weeks old and we have had them 3 weeks now. The pups love each other. Both were the runts of their litters. Each one is a darling, wee love. Of course it has been 17 years since we have trained puppies... they are keeping us busy. They sleep through the night, but are raring to go at 5am!
if I can remember HOW to post photos I will...
So then I will say goodnight for now. Cross stitch and being 'puppy busy' is sending me to sleep...
