"Mr Trouble" & the Crater in the Couch!

Oh, my goodness - what a mess we have with Charlie and the new Crater that he put in the couch! I have had puppies who have chewed up my designer shoes, when I was working, and "Mr Trouble" has been taking outside Dick's glasses, his shoes, my shoes, my solder, kleenix, pens, pencils, magic markers, paper towel and anything in a trash can and so many more things but now he decided to chew up the couch last night when we were on the phone with Cory - how special! We were both really pissed but how long can you be mad when that sweet little face is staring at you!

I guess that as he gets older, it will get better! Hope it is soon!

Thoughts & Prayers!

This is to give everyone thoughts and prayers to Pat K., our fantastic beading friend and her struggle with cancer - the ugly word. She has been so much fun in our lives with her singing and her moving and her grooving to any music!

She has been so ill and we keep hoping for her recovery but I think now it is time for her to go with God! Pat, we love and will miss you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much and please give us lots of grief when you pass over! We all love and will miss you soooooooooo much!

Sharon Noorda gave this to her 2 years ago and it meant so much to her!

Love you, Patty Cakes!

"Alaska"

After watching Sara Palin's Alaska program, I would be amiss if I didn't share with you my friend from Alaska, Angie, with whom we used to work at Curves! I love Angie and it was about 4-1/2 years ago she moved from Vegas to Alaska so her husband could work on the Alaska pipeline and she fell in love with Alaska. We have kept in touch and one thing thing in my bucket list is to go visit Angie in Alaska! Her son bought the Curves franchises in Alaska and Angie manages all of them! She lives across the lake from Sara Palin and has met the entire family who she says are so delightful! She and Sara have the same hair dresser which doesn't surprise me - how many good hair dressers are there in Wasilla, Alaska??

When Angie started at Curves, she was overweight and asked me to help her, which I did and she has now lost 130 pounds and I am so proud of her - see pictures! She was here about 3 weeks ago and we met for breakfast and when she walked in, I couldn't believe what I saw! She had lost 130 pounds and she looked absolutely fantastic! Good going Angie, keep it up!!!!

Since visiting you is in my Bucket List, I can't wait to come visit you! I'm so proud of you and love you!
