RATS!!!

The Mailman called me from his route last Saturday and said "Honey I have a surprise for you"...Hmm I thought, Diamonds?? Flowers?? Chocolate?? Nope......... Rats!!!! The Mailman was walking his route and came across a house with a cage & two white rats in it with a sign that said "free". He rang the doorbell & the woman who did not speak allot of English basically told him that if they could not find a home for them, they would be given away to someone who was going to us them for snake food....EEEEKKKK!!!
Okay for those that don’t know the Mailman is also known as the "Raftman" he has several of these critters over the years and LOVES them. I always knew there would be a rat in my future but was not that anxious to get any (it was the tail thing....oooo creepy!!) With 24 hours of having them I have become a Rat lover. They are very cute,smart & VERY clean

Howdy!

Hello...... yes, Iam still alive!! Just have not gotten around to posting I will be posting something soon.

The Boys

The Mailman & I got to dog sit my parents dog this past week. it worked out really good since the Mailman was on vacation , so he had a little buddy to hang out with. The first few days the dog was not too sure about the Mailman, and when I would come home from work the dog would be so excited I thought he would have an aneurysm. Near the end of the week Mailman & dog totally bonded, dog follows him everywhere. On day I cam home from work and found the picture of the boys on the door.........too cute!

Below are some pictures from our labor day weekend camping trip. It was an awesome weekend, with perfect weather. We went up to "the woods" with my parents. We hiked, biked, swam, and just relaxed. (click on phots to make larger)

Hi, remember me???

Longtime no blog...... Now that summer is winding down maybe I will update more often.
So what’s been going in the life of Picasso Girl you ask.
Lots of wonderful things....

~I have lost 26 pounds so far one Weight Watchers.........YEAH ME!!!!

~We have been in our house for a year.........wow time flies.

~I have been at my job for a year, and they want to hire me on as a permanent employee (I have been working through a temp. agency). The job is going great and I really enjoy it.
The garage door is finally replaced (after going through 4 doors in the short time that we have been here)

~The Mailman & I have decided to get married. He came up with a great idea.....a camping wedding at "the woods"(my parents land in Birchwood WI) No date has been set of yet, we are thinking of sometime next spring or summer.

Life is good. We love our house, in the summertime we live on the deck. We have all our little critters that keep us very entertained. All our squirrels have names, and most of them respond when we call them by name. Our raccoon family are no longer six little fluff balls. The babies have grown up. The com to visit every night. We did stop feeding them every night when they were young, so we would not run in to trouble then they grew up. They still get treats but they know not to expect food every night.
It gets depressing knowing our deck days are coming to an end..........but that’s life in Minnesota.
Hope all is well with everyone!
