Today we bought a Cottage

Margaret’s New House

Our excuse is we have no grandkids to fawn over. We were in Toys-R-Us looking for some props for a shot when we saw a display of Little Tikes plastic cottages. Dorothea jokingly suggested Margaret would love one. The basic model was on sale. So – we bought one. On the drive home, we laughed like we haven’t laughed for a long time. It was worth it just for the comic relief.

I swear putting together a new real house is easier than this thing. Once it was done, we had to bribe Margaret with her supper to lure her in.

I can’t wait for someone to ask what we did on the weekend.

The ‘cottage’ in place now complete with welcome mat, flower planter, bulldog statue and swimming pool.

2009 Valentine Card

Angel Margaret

Margaret as a Cherub…
Doesn’t she look fine?
You would make her happy
If you’d be her Valentine!

Posing for this photo
Was really kind of fun
But Margaret soon found out
A Cherub’s work is never done

It’s tough posing

Margaret the Red-nosed Reindeer
Liked her little Antlers – NOT
She drove her parents crazy
Till they finally got THE shot!

Wishing You
A Doggone Great Holiday Season
And A New Year Filled with Treats!

Family Reunion

On Sunday Sep 28,2008 we traveled to Blackstock to see Margaret’s mother Maggie and her breeder Rose Brown. Margaret was so excited I had to hold her from climbing over me and out the car window. She was “going home.”
