SARAH was SIX years old when she slipped on the ICE and fell and hit her head. She had to go the hospital and stay over night for observation. She seemed fine the next morning and so her doctor ( call me doctor JIM ) released her, SARAH'S mom and dad LUCY and CHUCK picked her up telling her they had a surprise waiting for her at home.
When SARAH got home waiting in the kitchen for her was a tiny little PUPPY. SARAH screamed in delight! "What are you going to name her" LUCY asked SARAH? "I think I'm going to call her COLO cola" SARAH said. "Don't you mean coca cola?" her mom asked. "Nope" SARAH said "I like COLO cola." "Well she's your PUPPY so I guess you can call her what ever you chose" CHUCK told her. COLO was sweet little PUP. She had a soft brown coat and TOPAZ colored eyes.It was the first time SARAH had ever seen TOPAZ colored eyes. "Your so pretty COLO told her new PUPPPY SARAH couldn't wait to tell her friend DAZEY about her new pet.
She asked LUCY if she could take COLO for a walk down the block to DAZEY'S house. "Sure" her mother said "here's her leash. Don't be gone to long STUART will be up from his nap soon and he'll want to see you and COLO." SARAH put the leash on COLO and walked down Railroad street. DAZEY was sitting out on her front steps when SARAH got there. Sitting by DAZEY was her cat SIR WILLIAM. SIR WILLIAM took one look at COLO and ran under the bushes beside the steps. "Hi DAZEY" SARAH said "look what I have." "A PUPPY ! Oh it's so cute" DAZEY said. "This is COLO" SARAH told her friend.
DAZEY and SARAH sat on the stoop and tried to coax SIR WILLIAM out from under the bushes. As he crawled in deeper COLO tried to go in the bushes and check out the cat. "No" COLO SARAH told her PUPPY. "SIR WILLIAM isn't declawed he will SCRATCH you!" She pulled on the leash dragging the PUPPY back out. SIR WILLIAM hissed at the PUPPY.
DAZEY'S mom MARIA opened the door "hi SARAH" MARIA said "I thought I heard you out here. I just baked a CARROT CAKE would you like some?" "Yes please mrs. WAYF I'd love some!" "How about a POP too?" MARIA asked "Sure" SARAH said. "Me too mom" said DAZEY. "Be right back" said MARIA. MARIA brought the CAKE and POP out to the girls and sat down with them,. "How is your head SARAH? I heard you slipped on some ICE." "Yes I did but it's o.k.now Doctor JIM said I'm as good as knew. He said I'm so good he would have thought I was pulling a PRANK on him if he hadn't seen the bump on my head."
"I'm glad your alright sweetie PIE" MARIA said. "Well I'd better go and start fixing mr WAYF some dinner. Be careful walking home SARAH. And DAZEY you'd better come in it's starting to get cold out here." "Thanks for the CAKE mrs WAYF." "Your welcome SARAH bye now." MARIA went in closing the door behind her. "Well guess I'd better go" SARAH said. "O.k." said DAZEY. "Come on SIR WILLIAM we have to go in now. Bye SARAH,bye COLO."
SARAH started walking home she hoped her little brother STUART would be up from his nap so he could play with COLO and her.When SARAH got home STUART was still napping. "SIR WILLIAM tried to SCRATCH COLO" SARAH told LUCY. "Wheres dad" SARAH asked LUCY. "He went to fill the truck up with DIESEL" LUCY said. "Whats DIESEL" SARAH asked. "It's like gas" LUCY explained. "But our truck takes DIESEL not gas." "Are we going somewhere?: SARAH asked. "Yes" LUCY said "we're going to uncle JOHN'S tonight for aunt DARI'S birthday." "Yea!" SARAH said "I love going to uncle JOHN'S and aunt DARI'S! can COLO go?" "Sure she can play with their dog EQUUS." "Mom" SARAH said "thanks for getting me this PUPPY I love her so much." CHUCK pulled in to the drive just as STUART woke from his nap. "Lets go get your brother up and get ready to go." Later that night as SARAH lay in bed snuggling her favorite stuffed POLAR BEAR she thought that this had been about the best day she had in all her SIX years. " Night COLO" SARAH said.

Rog and I spent the day in Iowa City yesterday. He had an automatic starter put I my car for me for Christmas. Now when I get off work on those cold nasty mornings I can go out to a nice warm car and not freeze my ass off for five minutes waiting for it to warm up. Will make scraping the windows much easier too. He's a sweetheart. We really enjoyed our day together. We did a little more shopping. And got to have both breakfast and lunch out.

Sure hope the Christmas party is still on for tonight. I bought a new outfit and got my nails done. Want to look nice and all. I may be late but I'll be there. Church tonight and then dinner with friends.

You should have heard Rog when I told him I had a Christmas Party to go to tonight. When I told him where it was he just laughed he said that he hopes the house won't catch fire because I'll never notice if it does. I do tend to tune things out when I'm reading everyones posts. Hope to see everyone later. Have a good Saturday.......

I'm a little at a loss today about what to blog. Nothing new and exciting going on in my life right now. Things at work are going smooth for a change and I like that.
I sifted through the email this morning and quickly deleted the usual daily crap. You all know the ones that scream " Men enlarge your penis today! Give her what she really wants for Christmas!!" and "Refinance your home with us! Hurry limited time offer!!" or " you qualify for a brand new credit card!" Over 100 new emails and most of them are this junk!
But I had a nice note from my penpal in Anchorage thanking me for the antique postcards I'd sent her for her postcard collection and updating me on her life. There was an email from one of my sisters with new pictures of her grandbabies. And an email from my daughter, one of those answer these questions about yourself and send it on things. This one had to do with Christmas and I was actually glad to get it because some of her answers surprised me.
One of the questions asked was- What is your favorite Christmas present you've ever received (sound familiar Dazey! ) Miranda wrote: the big doll house my parents made for me out of a big cardboard box.
I didn't even think she would remember it. She was seven the year she was Barbie doll crazy. She wanted it all. Barbie dolls,car,clothes,house everything. But it was a tough year for Rog and I and money was tight. We managed to get the doll, some clothes, and the car but the house was to far out of our reach. The are or were back then expensive!
So I talked Rog into helping me make one out of a box. We cut one side completely off leaving three sides so she would have an easy time playing in it. We built different floor levels with the cardboard we had cut off. We cut in windows and doors. I made curtains and rugs out of scrap material. Rog built little cardboard tables and chairs and beds, We glued little pictures on the walls from magazines and made little frames to go around them.
It was crude and oh so home made looking. But I do remember her excitement that morning when she saw it. She squealed in delight, she loved it! She walked around it looking at all the windows and doors and then plopped herself down in front of it to check out all the little accessories. A little girl with a huge grin. She kept it for a couple of years before it started to fall apart. I never knew how much it meant to her though until today. I guess I found something to write about after all.

Good morning Bloggers.
I don't have a lot to say right now. I am in a state of shocked happiness over Pup and Ice. Shocked because I didn't have a clue and happy because I like them both so much and they make an awesome couple. Am I the only one who had no idea?

MY house is warm, cozy and bright.
Wish I could stay home tonight.

Forecast calls for rain and sleet.
Then turn to snow 6" deep.

The calendar says it's not yet the season.
Then why all this snow, what is the reason?

Snow seems to have it's own agenda.
Wish I could stay home and watch it out the winda.

Goofy poem I know, That's true.
But I had nothing better to do.

Silly Pie.........
