Christmas Was Sad...


My mother in law Jane passed away on Christmas Day. Jane has been living with us this year and she decided to spent Christmas with her daughter in Oregon. Bill put her on a plane to Oregon (45 min flight) on Tuesday the 23rd. Christmas Eve night she felt sick and had a really bad backache. Betty took her to the hospital where she suffered a major heart attack. Jane's main aeorta ruptured. She will be greatly missed. Jane always talked about her wonderful life and how she loved her kids and grandkids. I took care of her this year and was able to get to really know her. Jane had many stories and loved telling them. She was the perfect grandmother and mother in law. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. She is now in the arms of her late husband again. We love you Jane.... fly high and we will all meet again. This picture was taken last week. Jane loved our dogs and this one (Sassy) was her favorite. The snow was so deep that the dogs got so wet going outside, Sassy knew that Grandma would towel dry her each time she came in the house. These two had a tight bond.

More Snow!!



Oh boy... we are still getting snow on top of the snow we already have and so far we are at 7-8 inches. The only problem is the airport has been canceling flights and we need to get Grandma on her flight to Oregon. She is living with us and I love her dearly but I need a weeks vacation from caring for her. She has erly dementia and it gets hard to keep a smile on your face when she forgets EVERYTHING and then argues with you when you correct her. Anyway I'm looking forward to Christmas morning with my boys and hubby alone enjoying our Christmas presents and not having to wait for her to get up, go pee, get her pills and coffee and bitch because its to early. Please let her plane take off so Her daughter can enjoy her for a week and I can enjoy my family for a week, thats all I want for Christmas. Here are a few more pictures of the snow.

Let It Snow !!


Oh boy we are getting some snow... so far about 3" and we are soooo loving this. My 3 pomeranians tried to eat each snowflake but gave up as the flakes were coming way to fast. We have our tree up and decorations outside. Now all I need to do is put gifts under the tree. Grandma Jane (who lives with us) is heading to Portland, Or. for Christmas with her daughter and family. This will leave us home with the boys and I have Christmas breakfast at my house and dinner at my son's home. We will enjoy the boys being home from school. Hope everyone is enjoying the days leading up to Christmas. Here are two of my Pomeranians ( Morgan & Daisy ) playing in the snow.
