Hello everyone! How are you? I am fine. There has been some very nice weather here in Wisconsin. We have been spending a lot of time sitting on the porch with Oliver. Sometimes Mom brings all of us out-- but today it was just me. Oliver enjoys sitting outside and watching everything, so Mom and I just sit on the bench and read. It is rather quiet-- at least until somebody starts mowing their law!
We have an orchard in our front yard. Our house is a farmhouse, and they were planted there a long time ago to give the people who lived there fruit. It's not as important to Mom and her family, so we don't really eat the apples.
There are also some ornamental trees. This is an elderberry tree blossom. These become little orange fruit.
I like tree blossoms. Do you have a favorite kind of tree blossom? I hope you all have a great week!
Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. We have had a quiet week around here. Mom has worked, and my friends and I have waited in the car for her. It's been okay.
Grandma bought some pretty flowers. Mom, Oliver, Adelaide and I sat outside for a while today so Mom could take pictures. We ended up with just a few of some geraniums!
What kind of flowers are your favorite? I hope you have a great week!
Hello everybody! How are you? I am okay. We’ve actually started this entry early, so Mom isn’t tired! Things have been pretty slow at her not-retail job, so it’s been okay. We did leave the computer downstairs, so there won’t be a lot of pictures.
Mom brought home another new Barbie. Mom likes articulated dolls, and they made a few new Made to Move Barbies. This is one of our new friends, Bloem. She is a Barbie Made to Move basketball player.
Talk to you next week.
Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay, but Mom is pretty tired. This week she is learning how to process returns at her job. It turns out that a lot of people return shoes, tablecloths, and broken electronic things. They also return them without their invoice, so she's got to look some of them up. (She says she doesn't understand why people do this.)
It has been a rainy week in Wisconsin. There was a few days of bright skies though, which made us happy. Now I hope that it gets a bit warmer!
Sigh. Mom says it's time to go to bed. I guess since she's the one who has to work in the morning, she ought to get a vote! Talk to you next week!
Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. We had an interesting weekend last week. Mom and some of my friends attended a doll meetup.
Mom brought Adelaide, Joaquin, Zola, Ionani, Caleb, Wren, Raven, and Lark inside. Milton, Foster, and I waited in the car. Mom had an okay time. There was a raffle. Mom thought that she had a fair amount of tickets, but that there were a lot of people who had a lot more tickets then she did. But it turned out that she was a lot more lucky then she thought. She won THREE dolls! She even tried to pass on the last one, but they drew her name again!
This is a picture of them while they were still at the doll meetup. Everyone has now gotten used to our dolly-verse, so they've told us their names.
This is Andromeda. She is a SoulDoll/Volks hybrid.
This is Eleanor. She is a Lee Middleton Reva Schick toddler.
And finally this is Ramona. She is a Paola Reina doll. Mom says she doesn't quite know what to do with everybody. But we'll figure something out. I hope you all have a great day!
Hello everybody! How are you? I am okay. Mom and Oliver went to Shiocton this week to see the sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens). They happened to be there when the WDNR were catching a very big female fish for her eggs. Mom had never seen a sturgeon up that close before-- well, out of the water at all.
After they took her out of the water, they laid her down on a mat near the edge. They seemed to keep her out of the water for a long time. I guess she was a very big fish so she could stay out of the water for longer then you'd think. They measured her and she ended up being 177 inches or almost 500 centimeters long. I wonder how old she was? The only way you can age a fish is to look at their ear bones, and they need to be dead for that, so who knows! She had to be pretty old to be that big though!
I hope you all have a great day! Talk to you later!
Hello everybody! How are you? I am okay. Mom has been pretty tired lately. She's been spending a lot of time at work dealing with all the Easter presents. She's been putting names on bunny ears and on basket liners. But Thursday was the last day that they could ship anything and make sure it would make it there before Easter, so it's over with.
Mom is in charge of buying presents for the nephew's Easter basket. She says that she got a bit carried away! Instead of candy, Mom buys Graham lots and lots of books! Books are much better for you than candy. What do you do to celebrate Easter? Mom's sister and nephew are going to come over and we're going to have supper. If it's a nice day, Mom and Graham will probably go out for a walk. I think it's a nice way to spend Easter. What do you think?
