surgery went well. Just gotta keep up with pain meds and rest. Night was rough but I feel better now

Dodger plopped down on sleeping Whiskers. That's the closest I have them cuddle up without W getting nervous:)

Mr. Whiskers in a new style

Mr. Whiskers got a haircut by accident...Dogder was the main target...ups...

We got home from Florida and picked up the dogs at the kennel and they mixed up the dogs. We have normally Dodger's hair cut so he doesn't get too hot in the summer.

Now Whiskers has his own cooling system.

Florida's Fish

I even caught a fish:)

Floria here I come

Tomorrow, Martin and I will fly to Florida for a few days. He has to work and I have to have fun:)
We are going to Ft Walton Beach, which is on the Golf Coast. The hotel is directly on the beach.
Light packing is required.
I am very excited and also sad, because my dogs have to be kenneled :(
Oh well. It will be only for a few days.
I am still walking in my boot, so all I am taking is ONE shoe and a pair of flip-flops:)

The week after that, I will have shoulder surgery. But that's still over a week away...

Nebraska's hidden treasures

I was looking through some pictures and found this postcard:

I don't know when I bought it or better WHY but it definitely shows a beautiful part of NE...!??!

And yes, there are many things I like about living here. One of the biggest pros are the people. The peeps here are so friendly and open, it is easy to feel at home.

What do you like about Nebraska?

Had an interesting two weeks. On one hand I am happy to report that my ankle is getting better. It's been "only" 8 weeks...

But last week I had the pleasure to go to the dentist. I hate going to the dentist, because it always means PAIN.

Anyway, I had a root canal done and thought I was out of the danger-zone (pain-zone) when I started to have major pain, just a couple of teeth over. He put me on an antibiotic, but it wouldn't budge first and he said he might have to pull the tooth (just one of my front teeth so no biggy) but would give the meds two more days to kick in and I started praying for my tooth, no kidding. And after those two days, the pain subsided. It is still not gone, but I am still taking those lovely pills and hope to God it will all be good in the end.

Other than that there is not much going on. I am dying to do some gardening, but I found out that a boot over a sprained ankle is not the perfect garden attire and it is hard to replant hostas.

Just have to wait and do it later.

Today it is rainy and perfect to cuddle up with my two fuzzy friends and stay inside.

Martin is out hunting. He is trying to get a turkey. I was first torn about the whole hunting thing, but after tasting a fresh and well smoked turkey, I change my mind and he is out there more for the fun than the shooting. He tells me about all the animals he sees close up that I want to go along and I will probably this fall.

Oh an I have to pack my bags today. CC is travelling to Floria:) Martin has to go for work and invited me to come along. We will stay in a hotel right on the beach...it will be hard-ship. But I will make it through it with some good books and my knitting.

Well, now it's time to go back to cuddling:)

I still can bring some of my garden's beauty inside. Had these in my wedding bouquet:)
