Happy Birthday Scully! (115/365)

TIME: 9:29 pm

PLACE: Living room
SUBJECT: Scully

*~*~*

Miss Scully turned 3 years old today (That's 28 in human years according to this website).

StellaDella and I took her to White Cottage for a Scooby snack (we also brought one home for Mr. Mulder).

She was surprisingly well-behaved.

Happy birthday to a fellow Taurus.  No wonder we get along so well!

Who Finds This Funny? (072/365)

TIME: 6:23 pm

PLACE: SD's room
SUBJECT: Sticker

*~*~*

SD got this sticker from the "Junk Food Doody Stickers, Collect All 10!" vending machine at the supermarket.

Other possibilities were Smellogg's, Dr. Pooper, Lay a Big One, Monster Deuce (the one she *really* wanted and did get as well) and Dingleberries Potato Chips.

I must have the maturity level of a 12-year-old boy, because I found them hilarious.

So did Scully.

Yep - this is the crazy party scene at my house this New Years.

Try not to be jealous of how much fun we are having.

...and because I like a Prisma filter.

 

Christmas 2020 (360/366)

TIME: 11:49 am

PLACE: Living room
SUBJECT: SD and the dogs, Jack behind the tree

*~*~*

This is a different Christmas.

MonkeyBoy is overseas and DramaQueen is in Florida with her boyfriend's family.

But, we have StellaDella, Mulder, Jack and the new addition of Miss Scully who all sat for the traditional Christmas morning photo. (Tessa is hiding in the basement.)

MB's girlfriend came by later in the day for dinner and we facetimed MB for a good hour.  I also video chatted with DQ as well.

I will take what I can - and look forward to when we can all be together again.

Ummmm...Hello, Could You Throw This Please? (345/366)

TIME: 8:49 pm
PLACE: Living room
SUBJECT: Scully

*~*~*

She will place what she wants you to throw and her head on your lap.  She then stands there and looks up at you until you throw the darn thing.

This is/was a rope toy that was supposed to be pretty durable - however, we soon found out it was definitely not Scully-proof.

I keep throwing the remains for her anyway.

Sunday Vibes (327/366)

A cold, wet, grey and dreary Sunday is usually the perfect time to take a nap on the couch...

Except you can't because it has already been hijacked by these two:

Sleeping Scully (310/366)

TIME: 6:09 pm
PLACE: Kitchen
SUBJECT: Scully

*~*~*

We had some beautiful fall weather today - sunny and temps in the 70s.

The dogs were in the yard much of the day.

All the fresh air must have made her tired.

Sticks, Sides & Wires (305/366)

TIME: 11:50 am
PLACE: Yard
SUBJECT: Scully and stick

*~*~*

Scully tried to help me out a bit as I moved a large branch that had fallen, from the front part into the fenced-in area of the yard. 



She was determined to carry that branch for me.

It didn't happen.

TIME: 4:24 pm

PLACE: Local tavern
SUBJECT: Side of the building

*~*~*

We decided not to hand out candy at home this Halloween - we figured with all that is going on, we wouldn't get many trick-or-treaters.  As an alternative, HH and I sat in the parking lot of a local bar and participated in a "Trunk or Treat" from 3 pm to 6pm.

There was actually a large turnout. We went through 4 large bags of candy! (about 500 pieces total)  It was nice that the kids were able to collect a lot of treats despite the stupid COVID.

TIME: 4:36 pm

*~*~*

And, just because I liked the pattern made by these power line wires, I am including this photo today as well.

Consider it a bonus!

Yes, I'm sitting on my couch for the 2nd night in a row.

Tonight, I have the doggos to keep me warm.

View From Salt Lick Point (285/366)

TIME: 9:53 am 
PLACE: Salt Lick Point & Water Reserve Trail, Valmeyer, IL
SUBJECT: View

*~*~*

HH and I took the dogs and headed for the Salt Lick Trail this morning.

We weren't the first on the trail, but we did arrive before it became crowded.



The trees were beginning to turn at the top....

But there was still plenty of green to see as well.
(looking back from where we came down the trail)


Here are the doggos at the end of the hike.

They are sitting by the old power building - tired, but happy.

Oil & Water (275/366)

TIME: 7:19 pm
PLACE: Kitchen
SUBJECT: Oil & water

*~*~*

I found a quick bread mix in the cupboard that had a best by date of yesterday.

I decided to live life dangerously and make it anyway.

Always fun to measure the oil and water like this.

Speaking of oil and water......

PLACE: Living room

*~*~*

These two are getting along just a tiny bit better each day.

Sometime they regress, but we are slowly moving closer toward the goal of peacefully co-existing in the same house.

It's a process.

Nothing better than a Sunday afternoon nap on the couch with a snuggly doggo.

BOOP!

Sometimes you catch the ball....

Sometimes you don't....

And sometimes you end up with a completely different ball than what you started out with.

And you enjoyed every minute of it!

 

That Face (171/366)

*~*~*

I was on the couch; Mulder was on the couch; Scully wanted on the couch - or attention, probably both.

Mulder's face though.
