New York Trip

Well I better start thinking of planning my annual trip to New York and thought I would ask for some input as it's coming up quicking (Weekend of 3/20)

This year will be the sixth year attending this ABC Daytime Broadway Cares event.   It's a great event and for a great cause.  It's the actors and actresses from ABC Daytime (All My Children/One  LIfe to Live/General Hospital/The View) and they sing and dance and do skits.  You sometimes don't realize just how talented some of these actors are.   Often some stars from an ongoing Broadway show will perform also.  

Anyway - we usually attend this event and then a Broadway play.  We fill the days with lots of shopping and sightseeing.  I'm looking for some ideas for this year.

Any ideas?  Great places to eat?  A Great place to stay? Shop? Events? Anything off the beaten path?  A great play to see?  On or Off Broadway you could recommend? 

My friend and I have both done the normal sightseeing type things (Statue of Liberty, Museums, Empire State Building, etc.)  so not looking for the "norm"!

Last year we took the Sex and the City Bus tour, a previous year we went looking for Laura Fishers Antiques and Quilts (she has lots of antique hooked rugs and both us being rug hookers loved this), American Folk Art  Museum, andI can't even remember everything.

It's a big city with lots to do but love to have a some ideas.

Hoping everyone is having a great weekend - The sun is finally out here - earlier it was doing that "white thing" again!

More Snow Days

Well the "cold paw" lasted until later that night.  Riley curled up with me and everything was good from then on. 

It snowed all day on Thursday and all the way into early afternoon today - never stopped!  My husband's work was actually closed - a rare event  for them - I'm telling you the wind was howling last night with the snow whipping all over the place - Not even pretty if you ask me!

Well the weather kept me in the house and I have barely left my rug hooking room in the last two days.  I got a lot accomplished - I made four hooked "redware" eggs.  I just made these little mats and whipped the edge with hand dyed yarn. 

I also made four feather trees - yes they do look like feather dusters right now but will wait a day to open them.   Two of them were an order so I have the bases all stained and ready to go too.

So bascially that's all I did yesterday and today.   Tomorrow I'm planning on starting a "rooster" rug - It's for a friend who wants to give it as a gift.   After that - who knows!  Lots of ideas - just have to get them down on linen!

While I was doing all this hooking, clipping, wrapping, glueing, whipping and whatnot with the trees and the mats I had plenty of help 

Yep that would be Riley supervising the egg mat.

"Hello - H-e-l-l-o - Put down the hook, step away from  the rug - and give me a chin rub! "

"Hey, get that bonehead away from the TV- I'm trying to watch Lost here!"

"You make a better door than a window"

"Oh the heck wtih it - I'll just take a nap"

"Hey get that camera outta here - we are taking a bath here"

Like I said - I had a lot of help with these two!

The mail lady brought me another package today - My birthday this month certainly keeps going and going!  My friend Patijane on AAPG sent me a birthday box!  My goodness did she spoil me - she sent a large bundle of really wonderful wools - can't wait to use it, some aloe socks (another friend sent me a pair at Christmas and I love how soft they are), some lotion - smells good!, a primitive wax rabbit, a snowman dish towel, and  a cool  piece of and old quilt!  Thank you Patijane - I just love everything!

Hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend! 

Getting the "Cold Paw"

I went away for a few days and got home this afternoon.  As expected, I've been getting the "cold paw" from my little buddy Riley - he is just too funny - he will not let me hug him, pet him and he will look away everytime I catch his eye.  Now Miles and Jonesy are a different story, they both came running when I came in the door and wanted a hug and atttention! 

Nope, won't look at her...

I don't see you...

I will however enjoy these treats - I'm not stupid you know...

My husband thinks he's funny, he called to see if I got home safely and asked if Riley was ignoring me!  He knows he does this (oh and by the way, Riley doesn't do this to him!).  He said this morning Riley was asking for the ice pack to really get that cold paw!  Ha-ha!  

I expect this to last until tomorrow morning - Riley will follow me around (at a distance of course) and watch me when I'm not looking.   Hopefully he'll give me his version of a kiss in the morning (he curls up under my chin and puts his paw on my cheek and gives me a little kiss  most mornings while purring away).

It was a relaxing time away - couldn't go for my long walks on the boardwalk as the weather was pretty crappy but did plenty of indoor walking.  Also spent some time just sitting and stitching.  I used to be an avid cross stitcher years ago but problems with my hands and all with all the nerve damage in my hands has kept me away from it.  Thank goodness for rug hooking - it is something that doesn't compress the nerves and allows me to do something creative.  I still want to stitch though seeing so many creative pieces on the blogs and of course ones i have gotten as gifts.  So I thought I would give it a try again.

I'm able to hold the needle for maybe 10 minutes at a time so it's very slow going but I'm determined.  I slather up with my arnica gel (a natural pain reliever that helps with the swelling of my hands)

and this is what I completed in the last three days...

Still a ways to go, and years ago I would have had this done plus five more,  but I can't tell you how happy I felt just relaxing and stitching - it was always a "calming" activity for me back in the days when I was never without a needle and some threads...  My husband was forever finding needles and picking thread snippets off my kitties at that time Sid and Nicky. It's been over 15 years since I stitched - I couldn't even hold a needle long enough to sew on a button 5 years ago so I'm happy that I was able to get this much done.

 D-E-T-E-R-M-I-N-A-T-I-O-N!

Earlier Jonesy was "yelling" - found him in the window sill - probably saying "where's the sunbeams!"  Hate to tell him that there is more of that s-word stuff in the forcast for tonite! Yuk! (Oh and notice how big my "baby" is getting!)

Hoping everyone is having a great week!

The Treasures of Friendship

Everything is still white out there but a few days this week the sun has been shining and slowly the mountains of white stuff are getting smaller - Not fast enough for my taste - Earlier this week we had almost another inch of the stuff but thank goodness it didn't last.

I have been totally spoiled this year for my birthday - Tuesday, the mailman knocked and handed me two packages both from two of my friends on AAPG!  Wow!

Ginger is one talented lady - for my birthday she sent me some gorgeous green and red wool (one can never have too much wool can one!), and she made this wonderful little fabric covered box and needle punched a kitty on top - Absolutely the primest of prim and I just love it - So my style.   I don't know how Ginger gets done all she does - she makes one masterpiece after another and has a cute grandson Sloan she often takes care of!  Thank you so much!

The other package was from Jo, another creative and busy lady who is always stitching, sewing, hooking on top of being a Grandmother to her dear Olivia!  Where do these ladies find the time.  This pic isn't the best but I'll try to explain - Jo made me a "worm sorter" "worm keep", "worm roll" - whatever you want to call it! LOL - She used some awesome pink paisley fabric  and added a pocket for my hook and also  a twill tape with a tape measure imprinted.  You put in your "worms" for a project you are working on and roll it up - She included a cute snowman button and a sharpie along with some wool and worms!  Oh yea and a cedar chip to keep those pesky moths away!    I just love it - Thanks so much Jo!

Wednesday I spent the day in the kitchen baking some lemon cakes.  If you like lemon and like to bake you may want to try this recipe.  It's a recipe from the Barefoot Contessa, just google it or go to the Food Network and you should find it online.  It's not one of my "easy/smeasy" recipes but it's worth the trouble.   I made four of them and gave them all away.  A friend of mine had a birthday on the 13th so I gave her one, I gave my parents one, and took two of them with me on Thursday to Grant Street.  I'm thinking the ladies enjoyed it as there was some tusseling over who was allowed to eat the cake but then again, maybe they were only trying to be gracious hosts!  LOL!

Thursday the forecast said "NO SNOW" so I decided to make the trip out to Grant Street.   I had a bag full of small items to whip so I had my work cut out for me!   Kathy and I met up for lunch first at TGIF and she treated me to a delicious lunch - Thank you Kathy!

Then it was on to Grant Street for a day of fun. It wasn't as full as the last time I was there but it was still nice and relaxed - I got to work and actually by the end of the evening got all my little rugs whipped!  Not my favorite part but it makes it easier when you are out with friends -

Now Kathy will tell me these are not really completed yet - I still have not done the labels!  Hope to get to that part next week.

There were people coming in and out during the day and I mostly forgot to take out my camera -

Here's Genny and Barb - Genny was making this for her daughter

The pic I took of Nancy's finished rug didn't come out too well - probably because I was pushing Kathy out of the way so I could get a pictures! Anyway I'm sure it will be on Kathy's blog - Nancy finished the edge with a blue ticking - looked wonderful on that rug - as everyone knows - I love ticking!

I think Linda has a sour lemon taste in her mouth here - Maybe she was actually feeding Beau and Louie the cake!

Well Kathy actually sat down long enough to pull a few loops - I can't show the pic of her and her rug but it's coming along great  and she's doing a wonderful job.  Kathy does however question herself.  This was a sight I saw a lot yesterday...

She would "Step away from the rug" and ponder...  and ponder.... and ponder.... and ponder... and ponder...

And then...inspiration would overcome her - snap..

I left "early" that night at 10:30 as I had to be up and out of the house for hair cut appointment this morning  Oh and thanks ladies for your help in picking a new "do" - Got the winter blues and needed to make a change - and I did - new style and new color.

After I got my hair done this morning decided to drive over to the Cinnamon Stick.  Judy blogged that she had the new magazine "The Simple Life" which I wanted to check out.  Ended up buying more than just the magazine of course!  I got a cool narrow shelf - I think Judy's tag said it was made from a carpenter's box???   Will post a pic once i hang it .  I also bought a bread board for the purpose of covering my sink with it.  I think I mentioned before we are having problems with my oldest cat Miles drinking everything in site he can (and he has been tested up and down and inside and out and nothing wrong) We even caught him licking condensation off the windows - Sometimes I have a pan soaking in the sink with dishsoap and he'll still go after it!  Just don't know what to do - not sure if this is what makes him sick several times a day on a daily basis or what - Anyway - love the old breadboard!  Just wish I had a cool faucet on the sink but I don't!  Judy graciously said I could return the board if it didn't fit the sink but it is still a cool old piece of wood and fits perfectly.

After my little shopping spree I met up with a friend for a late lunch and came home to a wonderful box of goodies from a friend of mine, Sharon.  Sharon is extremely talented lady.  Whatever she puts her hand too is great!  So much talent in those tall limbs!  Oh Sharon you certainly spoiled me!

Sharon sent me a HUGE pattern on linen (28" x 41") - I think I will save the design to show you until I hook it! But it's a gorgeous pattern and will tell you there is a cat on it!   She also sent me a gas card (since she thinks I travel so much - Who? Me?) Wow so generous and so welcome!  If all that wasn't over the top, inside the box was also a heart shaped candy dish and a huge bag of M & M's!  Mmmm good!  And if that wasn't enough she also sent me some ball jar lids for the pin cushions (or maybe to replace the ones I took off around the house to use on the pin cushions! LOL) and some snowman note pads.  Oh Sharon you went totally overboard - thank you so much - I just love everything!

So that was my week!  Thanks so much my friends for brightening up my week and I don't mean the gifts - i mean all of you that offer your gifts of friendship in person and out there in blogland!  It really means a lot!  Stay warm and cozy out there!

Cat Naps

What's a little tiger to do but stretch and roll and stretch some more while I'm on the phone?

 

I was on the phone today talking with my Dad and Jonesy was rolling and stretching and yawning and rolling some more.  At one point he was wrapped around my leg!  He's just too funny.

Well this weekend my Dad was in the hospital again.   He's doing much better and was released this afternoon.  I knew he was feeling better, he was making his corny jokes that a lot of time only he finds funny!  One thing he did say was that he seems to check into the hospital as often as people pop into the grocery store for something!  Now he's exaggerating of course, but it's a shame with his health problems that he has to go - each time wears him down more and more.  Anyway - like I said - he's home now, feeling a bit better,  and hoping for a good nights sleep as you can't seem to get one in the hospital. 

This afternoon when I got home from errands both Miles and Jonesy came to welcome me home.  No Riley, which is unusual, he's usually the first one down the steps to see me.  So I thought he must be upstairs under the the comforter - a favorite spot.  So later I realize I still haven't seen him and he wasn't in his usual spots so I was yelling for him - No Riley.  Jonesy was walking around with me looking for him and then he disappeared.  -I thought this is weird then thought that Jonesy must be in the cat bed under our bed - a favorite napping place of his.  So I lifted up the bedskirt and put my hand under there to see if was under there and felt two  heads - this cat bed is little and both Riley and Jonesy were curled up in there.  So me being as weird as I am, I grabbed my camera and put it on the "night" setting and stuck the camera under the bed and snapped a few pictures This is what the camera captured - Aren't they just too cute! LOL Well I think so anyway!

I have been hooking on and off but have nothing to show just yet - Sometimes I even have a critic!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week

Happy Valentine Day

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day - Hope your day is filled with lots of whatever makes you happy!

One Long White Week

Well in my last post I mentioned our heater wasn't working - That night it wasn't working at all - Tuesday morning when we got up it was 50 in the house - Brrrrrrrr - felt bad for the boys - their paw pads and ears were so cold - tried to keep them warm as best as I could - My husband called the HVAC company and got them to move up the appointment to noon that day.  Well around 2:30 they showed up.  You will never believe what was the cause of the heater shutting down!  It was candles!   He showed us the filter (something my husband didn't check because 3 weeks prior he had just changed the filter - a fact since he writes the date on it and knows when he did it) Anyway the filter was solid black.  The HVAC guy said "Do you smoke a lot in the house?" - No we do not smoke, and then he said "Do you burn a lot of candles", and  just this past week I have been burning a candle on a daily basis - for about 4 days in the past week I was burning this one candle I had (it smelled so good - forgot the brand but it comes in a yellowware crock).  I guess this one was particularly smokey?  Who knows - but the heater (we have all electric in the house) shut down to avoid the motor burning up since the filter was totally clogged.  Well that was a $95 lesson (cost just to have them just show up at your door).  No more burning candles for long periods of time for me.   We did ask him if we had changed the filter would he have had to come out - apparently yes, to re-set the system.  Well all I can say is we are all toasty warm now and everyone is happy again!

Here's one little guy that loves to sit in my lap while I'm hooking or on the computer so we were able to keep each other warm (Matter of fact my legs are numb right now as he's in my lap and Riley is pressed into my side taking a bath!)

The big topic of conversation this week has been the weather - We got all that snow last weekend and then got hit again Tuesday night.  Wednesday the skies were gray all day with the white stuff coming down full force most of the day and night - There was no way to keep up with the shoveling, we tried but gave up!  so on Thursday was the big dig out in the neighborhood  - I don't think anything was lost - i think everyone finally undercovered their garbage cans and their cars - The neighborhood looks funny with mountains and mountains of snow and little habi-trails for a car to get in and out!  I am just so happy we never lost power. Here's a pic of my deck  - the previous post I had a pic from the previous snow over the weekend - - well all that snow was cleared off - this is this Wednesday's snowfall - it started to fall like before but then crashed - so no cool "curving!

 Spent most of the week watching movies and hooking and cooking!  First time in a long time I made dinner every night of the week!   So also spent a lot of time doing dishes - One night we had stuffed pork chops, another Eggplant Lasagne, another Shrimp Scampi, another Grilled Chicken, and so on - at least I got out on Monday to go grocery shopping and stocked up on all fresh veggies and stuff before the storm!  

Here's some pics of some of the mats I was making - I was hoping to get all this hooked and take with me on Thursday to Grant Street to bind but of course with the weather I wasn't able to get out there! I was bummed - I wanted to go.  Anyway decided to do whatever - i have so many leftover woolie worms that I want to use up - and refuse to cut any more wool until i get these under control - so I didn't even draw anything - just sat and started hooking. 

I figured these are a good size to put on the back of toilet, or use on a window sill or whatever, and also made some mug rugs (bad pic - colors are off - Hope to have better pics after I finish (bind) them. 

Right now i have a piece of linen on my frame that I'm just doing complete hit and miss - Might use it as a bathroom mat in front of sink.  

I'll leave you with a pic of Miles - he was sitting on my lap and  pestering for my lunch yesterday (soup -he loves soup) - We always call him "the paw" - you will only see a paw come up to the table searching for something to grab!  Anyway there was a piece from the linen hanging off the frame so i grabbed it and wrapped it around his ears!  As you can tell from that mug I was getting the hairy eyeball!

Have a great weekend!

Decorating the Deck With Cotton Batting

Just kidding - Isn't that weird though - Saturday night I looked out our back slider and saw the ledge of snow "fell" in this formation -  you can actually see the curve in it.   It was just hanging there like that - Thought it was weird but cool!  Sunday morning I looked out again and it had fallen.   We certainly got enough snow Friday/Saturday and I'm so done with this winter already!

Hope everyone is staying warm - right now our heater isn't working correctly - it's running but not putting out enough heat - and the earliest the HVAC man can get here is Wednesday and another storm is expected for tomorrow!  Pain in the you know where as the unit is only five years old this year.  Right now its 55 degrees in here and I feel bad for the kitties - I think it's really affecting Jonesy - I have him all snuggled under a blanket right now but he seems "off" - Hope he's not getting sick!  Will definitely keep my eye on him.  

Have a good week!

Where to Start? Birthday Fun!

There was no hiding from my birthday this year - Not that they bother me that much - just hard to believe it rolled around so fast again!   I think it was only a few years ago I was looking forward to turning 16 to drive, right? 

I have to say - I am one of the luckiest people in the friends department!  I just am in awe at the generosity and talent that comes from their hearts and hands.   Truly overwhelming.   Will show you all the wonderful goodies I received in person and via the mailbox!

Yesterday - Kathy gave me this bowl of goodies - A wonderful (and very heavy) resin bowl that resembles the old treenware, some floss, some praire cloth, some dye, some wool, and she stitched up this great kitty using a pattern by Betty Dekat.  Whatever Kathy puts her hand to is wonderful whether stitching, hooking, sewing, whatever!  She is one talented lady!  I'm so happy to call her friend!

Pam sent me a wonderful tea towel and some gorgeous wool! Thank you so much Pam - just love it and can't wait to hook with it!  (that would be Riley and Miles watching the men pick up the recycling!)

Chris (Mystical Primitives) is another wonderful and talented lady - I think she's been in my house and knows just what I like - Chris sent me some old cookie cutters (of which i have a small collection !), some wonderful wool, the coolest wooden bunny from old wood, note pad, calendar and coupon caddy!  Thank you so much Chris!

Rebecca - who is another talented hooker - check out her ebay auctions,  sent me a "Punkin Pincushion" - Just love it - it's made from wool !  Too cool - Thanks Rebecca!

Another extremely talented lady Debbie sent me some treasures from her hands.  She and I both share a love of kitties!  She got me this Beeleek Irish Kitty dish - really cute, some bubble bath, a tiger, and she made these wonderful envelope kitties (out of ticking no less - love that ticking!)  Another lady that whatever she puts her hands to is great - She and Chris amaze me at what they accomplish.  Check out Debbie's auctions on ebay -

Yesterday when I was at the Grant Street hook-in, Linda treated me to some wool!  If you live in the area or are 2 1/2 hours or whatever from Grant Street- it's worth the trip - Linda has everything you need to hook - and I mean everything - I call it a full service salon - she and Kathy even sew around your rugs for your and steam them for you if you ask - heck she will even hook a few loops if you ask her!  THANK YOU LINDA FOR BEING YOU!

Like I mentioned above, yesterday I decided to spend my birthday out in Chambersburg at the Grant Street hook-in - I didn't tell the girls I was coming as I didn't want any to-do for my birthday.  Instead I decided to go and bring everyone cupcakes.  It was another fun day and productive!  Can't show you what I was working on as it was my challenge pattern for AAPG but I did manage to pull a few loops.  It was a busy day there - I think there must have been 15 or more hookers milling about at one time!   Poor Kathy's butt never made friends with her chair because she was always up up and running and helping everyone out. What a girl!   Looks of chatting and talking going on and lots of sillyness like normal. 

See that Jill in the background giggling and Kathy in the foreground - they were up to something I think - Beth and Barb were good girls - working hard!

Had to laugh - Kathy went to cut some wool for Joan and everyone gathered around - Okay - "How many hookers does it take to cut a yard of wool?"

Kathy still working checking people out - (told you there was a lot of new wool that people could not resist buying!)

This is towards the end of the night - Poor poor Linda - look how weary she is - Well I don't blame her - That Kathy and Aaron are handfuls - they are like two little kids picking on each other when they get together and Linda has to deal with them on a daily basis! LOL! 

Another long nite but I left early at around 11:15!   Really wanted to stay but as much as I don't mind driving - i don't like winter - and driving where i have to stay closed up in the car and can't open my windows isn't much fun.  I'm still happy I went!

This pic is for Beth -- it's a rug I did a few years ago - It is by Wendy Miller of the Red Saltbox and was a free pattern in the Jan/Feb 2006 issue of Rug Hooking Magazine - So here you go Beth - you asked me to put a pic of it on the blog! 

I'll leave you with a few pics that I took on Wednesday --

(sure glad I'm not Riley - sometimes Jonesy can be a little "stinker"!)

Presents and Pictures!

Thought I would share with you some of the gifts I got from some of my friends this week.  Later this week is my birthday - but we don't have to talk about that!

I have been receiving little packages of woolie worms the past week for a challenge we are doing on our group AAPG - we are being challenged to do a background with worms from everyone that is participating - we had to pick a color we do not usually use for backgrounds.  I generally use darks so I picked a red - not really sure what colors I would get but they have been wonderful.   Maria Barton of Star Rug Company designed two patterns and we can do whichever we prefer.  I can't show pictures of that yet!

Inside one of my packages of worms I found a sweet needlepunched Christmas Kitty from Kelley - she designs the most wonderful kitties -she has inspiration from her gorgeous furry kids!  Just love it - I have one with an orange background from her for Fall too which i absolutely love, so will leave this one out for a bit!

Another package was from Kimmie, another talented lady who is always creating treasures.  She  sent me a bundle of wools - a prim star hooked hanger, and some pralines -oh my goodness- i had one - so creamy and good!  Thank you Kimmie!

And if all that wasn't enough I received a package from Merrie.  Merrie sewed a bag (and I just love bags - always carrying stuff here and there!) and it's so cool - love the green color and the fabric is a cross sttich sampler - it's also reversible - great job!  There is a sweet stitched piece put into a keychain - absolutely love that too.  She also sent a bundle of wool, some recipe cards and note pad - Thank you so much Merrie

The girls of AAPG are the most generous and wonderful group of ladies.  And did I mention how talented they are - just floors me everytime I'm a a recipient of something made from their hands.  Wish I had half their talent!

Today my husband called and asked if i wanted to meet him for lunch so after a filling mexican meal, I stopped at my parents to drop off some Potato Cheddar soup I made yesterday.  Well my Mom comes in the room with this large garbage bag and says Happy Birthday Early! I knew she didn't have my quilt done (she's making me a queen sized quilt for my bed) but i could see thru the bag it was something quilted!  She had decided to clean out some of her quilts - My Mother has been quilting since the 1960's but not so much until the 90's - an earlier post shows that green and yellow one she made in the 1960's which is one of her first and she doesn't call that "quilting")  Well she decided for my birthday and my SIL's (her's is the end of this month) to give us each a bag of quilts!  So here are pics of the ones I got - I put everything in my "pink" room - not sure if i ever shared pics of that room here but I'm not really crazy but my walls in this other bedroom are a deep rose.  I got the color from this quilt

I took the deepest pink and matched it up with paint at Lowes.  This is a bowtie quilt and even though it's not my normal colors - love the quilt - it was made by my great great grandmother.   Oh and that's my mom's little slip and dress from when she was 2 hanging there.   So anyway - this room is the "pink" room - I have an antique white iron bed in there and I have this dresser I refinished in a dark color and an old white wash stand - it's a spare room and I go in there to read and sleep when my husband snores way too loudly! LOL

So back to my birthday presents - inside the bag I found this double bed quilt - My Mom calls this the "first one" she did -

Now I guess I will have to get some new pillow shame - Looks good  on the bed though - Riley and Jonesy were checking it out for "wrasslin" effect"

Also in the bag was this heart quilt wall hanging - I'm not a "heart" person so much but it kinda fits with the room and I do have some empty walls (the rugs i have made are on the floor in here and I just thought of this - the one rug is cats and hearts - so I guess I do have hearts!)

Also this tabletopper that matches the pattern in the quilt

And also this pillow - which needs a form - Not sure about this because this has "ruffles" - I'm not a ruffle person - My Mom knows this and said for me to throw it out - but I can't do that - not sure if it will go in trunk or maybe I'll try to take off the ruffle - Anyway - here it is

This wasn't a present - just thought I'd show you what I did with some old ladies hankerchiefs I found in my husband's parents attic - I framed them - some have several in a frame - and hung them on the wall over the bed - If you notice the 3rd one on the bottom row you can see the hook - had to reinforce that one - for some reason Riley bats at that one and has broken the back hook off - it will not stay up the way i have the others hung! weird he only goes after that one - i was laying there reading a book one day and he bonked it off my head! Not funny! LOL!

Hope everyone is enjoying their week! They are calling for snow tonite - Oh joy! NOT!
