How time does fly when you are having fun. 

Fun- what exactly does constitute as fun? Some say as long as you are enjoying the day you are having fun. Others say you have to be *doing something* in order to be having fun. Or some say it in such a manner as to mean it in a disparaging way.  

I, myself see it as many different ways. 

Over the time period of my absence I have had fun in many ways. 

I've spent time with my grand kids. Spent time with new people I've met. Went to new places.  And even did new things. 

By that I mean we went on a River Cruise, which was really FUN. 

Went on motorcycle rides and visited places I didn't know existed. Such as the Mini Mac (Mackinaw Bridge).

And one of only 2 of the smallest Post Office's in the United States. This one in Michigan, the other one is in Florida. 

As for the other kind of FUN- we have had 2 fur babies die in the last 2 years.

This little lady-Punkin, who we thought would make it after we had her left leg amputated to keep the tumors from spreading. But no such luck. She was 14 when we had to make the decision to let her go home to god. 

Then this sweet boy- Manny, who was to go in for knee surgery in 3 days but came up with a cough that just wouldn't go away so we took him to emergency. She did many tests only to find out he was having heart problems that couldn't be fixed. He was only 8 years old when we had to say goodbye to him that day. Another one of the hardest decisions we ever had to make. 

Onto happier things- 

My son has moved back near us from out west. So we get to see him more often. 

Our granddaughter is graduating this year. 

Boy they sure do grow up so fast. Her brother is 2 years behind her. 

Can't wait to see how much fun I can find for the following year. 

Had the granddaughter over the weekend

It was a blast. While she was here she wanted to go through the pics I had in my camera so I took the SD card out and put it in the laptop so we could see the pics in a bigger view. Well that was a mistake. We came across some videos papa had made over the last couple years. Nothing bad mind you. She liked one in particular. She suggested I put it on youtube. So I said sure if you help me. Since I had never put one on there before. I have looked at plenty and I even have one blogger I just love that puts her blog videos on there. I had often wanted to ask her how she did that but never gotten around to it. 
So we tried as we may to upload our video. We tried and we tried.
No luck. It took us an hour and finally we got it figured out. It was uploading but it was going into Windows Media *playlist* instead of the Videos area. 
It takes me a bit but I finally get things figured out. So now we have this video on youtube. Boy I sure didn't know my voice sounded that bad once it was recorded. Or maybe I just sound like that when I talk to my dogs. I do have a tendency to baby talk around them, since I spoil them a lot. 
Mr. L. was not as happy when I told him he was a celebrity. But he has come to terms with it as I caught him telling his friend about it last night. 



Hope you enjoy it. As I said it was not meant for anything special. We were just being ourselves. As you can see we love our dogs and we treat them as one of the family.

Ever wondered what you would look like in glasses? Or just for something to do as fun. Want to try on glasses from home well now you can right from your comfy chair. Just go to Coastal and look through the glasses and it will give you an option to *product view* at the top or *try on view* when you click *try on view* you can download a pic of yourself and you can see how good/funny you look in the glasses.
