Madison's First Snow

We have a 9 month old Golden Retriever named Madison. She is the third Golden we have had in our lives and she is just a joy. Last February, we lost our beautiful Amber suddenly at 12 1/2 years old and about 2 weeks later we had our only big snow fall of the winter. Amber loved the snow so much and we loved romping around with her in it so when we had that storm after she died, I didn't have the heart to go out and enjoy it. I remember staying inside all day feeling very sad and alone.

We woke up to almost TWO FEET of snow this morning and because of our precious "Maddie Magoo" I feel like I can love the snow again. She wasn't sure what to make of it at first but it didn't take long before she was pouncing up and down in it, helping Daddy shovel and playing with the boys next door in their front yard.

Madison, thank you for coming into our lives and for helping me love snow again...

Facebook Newbie...

So....Wasn't I the one who said she would NEVER join Facebook. Just this past Labor Day as I was traveling on a bus to Yankee Stadium I declared to some friends who were on the trip with me that I would NEVER join Facebook. I said "I don't need one more thing to keep my butt in my desk chair in front of my computer"! Being the outdoor girl that I am...I REALLY don't need one more website to look after and keep me inside.

Well...A week ago Saturday (5 days after that fateful bus trip), I came home from work and checked all of the afore mentioned websites PLUS my email and what do I find??? An invitation from a friend (you know who you are!) who has once again invited me to join Facebook.

Hmmm.....maybe I should just take a peek at what all of the hoopla is on this silly website. Just a peek mind you.

Well....before you know it, 3 hours have gone by (mind you it was a crappy day outside) and I have my FB "Wall" set up and have "friended" who knows how many people!! I'm listing my paintings and my photography, posting "My Life" photos, getting friend requests from people who I never would have believed would be on Facebook (can you say Firefighters???) and generally just enjoying the whole FB experience!!!

Well....today after being on FB for two weeks exactly, I infected most of my FB friends computers with a virus. Now mind you, it was not my intention to do this but I opened a link that a "friend" sent me (you know who you are) that spread like wildfire across my FB friends list. Never mind that it was a link to a porn site!!! LOL Some of my friends commented that they rather enjoyed the link (you know who you are) but didn't enjoy being screamed at by their anti virus software!!

Anyway...I think all of the computers of my friends are safe and sound tonight but I bet they regret sending me my Facebook invitation (you know who you are!!) one last time!!!
