Our Friday Fragments

Half-Past Kissin’ Time host the Friday Fragments linky. It’s just short blurbs from your week that aren’t enough for a whole post by themselves. Here’s ours for this week:

We love the new elephant exhibit at the Cleveland zoo! We'll be posting all about it next week over at our other blog, Right Where We Belong on Tuesday hopefully.

Abby is on the chair, Spunky on the cat tree

Spunky Doodle regurgitated her breakfast in the living room and while I went for a paper towel to clean it up, Abby cleaned it up for me—yuck! She had it all licked up by the time I got back in less than 30 seconds! That is SO gross!

Today is our anniversary of our proposal day. We’ve been married 13 years now. We used to celebrate it, now we just mention it. Happy proposal day, honey!

It was nice being off work Wednesday and Thursday this week. Went to the zoo Wednesday and the Indians game on Thursday. Go Tribe!  It was actually hot, a gorgeous day but sad they lost.  

My husband has worked for 40 years at the same place as of June and they offered to give us an all-expense paid trip to Boston to see a Red Sox game—one of his dreams.  Don't know if he'll actually go yet or not.

Our backyard grass

Our grass looks good now.  Last fall we think skunks were hunting for grubs and tore it all up but Gerard put some Grub-X down and it seems to have worked.  Here's the link about our messed up yard:  Did You Ever Have This Problem?

This is posted late because Blogger was down--oh well. I was frustrated that I couldn't leave comments on other blogs and I couldn't schedule posts on mine. I really like blogging and missed it!

Since Blogger was down this morning, I played Word Womp on Pogo before work this morning and found all the words for a change--that only happened once or twice before.

Our Friday Fragments

Half-Past Kissin’ Time host the Friday Fragments linky. It’s just short blurbs from your week that aren’t enough for a whole post by themselves. Here’s ours for this week:

1) Last week Mrs 4444 left me a nice comment: Your header is my current favorite in Blogland--GORGEOUS! That made my day! My favorite blog header is at Jennies Happy World-it's a castle layout with little shields for her tabs! What's your favorite blog header? Go let them know and make someone's day! Watch our "behind-the-scenes" video on making it.

2) Not much interest in our book giveaway for a mom--I'm surprised! It's really quite a nice book on parenting.  If you know a mother of young boys, this would be a great gift! Just leave a comment to enter stating why you would like to have it.

3) Gerard has been watching the hockey playoffs and we are pleased to see the Bruins are still in it after winning game 7 in overtime. Go Bruins! Hockey is exciting!

4) Glad to see the Browns Peyton Hillis beat out Michael Vick for the cover of the video game, Madden ’12. I only played it once, but it’s fun!

5) We finally gave in and bought a new Whirlpool dryer from hh gregg—it gets hooked up tomorrow! They take away our old one too so that’s good. The new one has some kind of sensor so it automatically goes off when the clothes are dry but no timer that buzzes to let us know! Isn’t that strange?  UPDATED 4/30/11:  Oops, when the guy came to install it, he said we need a gas on, not electric.  Now we have to wait one more day.

7) Our high winds Wednesday night knocked over the tree at the church a block from our home. Fortunately, our roof held, our power did not go off and we have no trees in our yard.  I would have taken a picture but by the time I got home from work, the church had it all cleared away.  When will I learn to always bring my camera with me?

8) We took Abby to the vet for a routine wellness exam and they found ringworm in her stool so gave us some medication that should clear it up for her. She seems fine and acts normal so good thing they found it early. They said it was quite common in dogs this time of year.

9)  As of 5 a.m. this morning, we got 88 comments on this blog.  You have only two more days to comment to help raise money for the Japan relief effort through Samaritan's Purse.  We'll donate 50 cents per comment.  Oh, and you may want to visit our post about things we learned this week over at Right Where We Belong.
