Farewell to Hank


This was taken of Hank the day before he died. The loss of him being gone is so great. We had him for 9 yrs and he brought us so much joy. He had so many health problems and the last 4 days he was sick and wouldn't eat. We knew it was time. In the picture he has even dropped the paper. One of his favorite things to do was carry in the paper. Putting him to sleep was the hardest thing we have ever done. So final. The house is so quit and lonely. We will love him forever. Goodbye our little companion.

Here she is!! Celebrating New Years. Grandpa and Grandma went out on New Years and brought the hat back for her. So we went to Carmines restaurant to eat soon after. She has spaghetti on her face.
I have finally after a week figured out how to get Playlist over to my blog. I did it all by myself. So notice I put Santa claus is Coming to Town on the playlist. That song I sang for Hattie all through xmas season. She loved it. So I will probably change some of these songs out but just playing around. I love music...So better get to painting. I havent done that for awhile. Sally

Hattie in the Bucket!!

Cutie Pie
I caved in on this cute garden cart when I was shopping the other nite. I thought it would be neat to put all of Hattie's toys in it which I have done. But today got the idea of putting her in it..she loved it. When her grandfather took pictures of her she kept closing her eyes..never did get a picture of her with her eyes open. Hattie had a fun day today. We went to Wal-mart and Grocery Store. She loves to ride in the shopping carts. A lady came by with a whole bunch of Valentine Balloons and talked to her. When she went away Hattie started to cry. She wanted one of those balloons which grandpa bought her one. She isn't spoil. Will be nice when it warms up so she can go outside..She loves the outdoors.

This is an accent table I painted about a month ago. I put a wash of burnt umber over it. Was fun to paint. Valentines day is approaching soon. I will be taking care of my little Hattie this Valentines day eve. Her mommy and daddy are going a little ways out of town to their favorite resturant. So we bought a some vanilla ice cream for Hattie. She needs a treat..So will give her a few spoonfuls. Her other grandmother is coming to our house to be with her also. Her Nana (other grandmother) has made her a quilt for Valentines day. Hattie is going to love it. I got her an Elmo doll...and a ballon.

This is Hattie on her dedication into the Methodist Church. Her other grandmother made this gorgeous christening gown. I have to brag but she is adorabable. She had two other cousins born about the same time she was born. Actually they were her 4th cousins. Some day I hope they all get together. Sally

Hattie My Granddaughter!

Here is my sweet little Hattie. This is when she was a few days old. I am so proud of her.And myself for figuring how to do this. Yahoo! Cant wait to notify Dianne...

Still trying to figure out this blog!

I am not a fan of football but I watched the Superbowl yesterday of the last half hour. It was rather exciting. I have no preference on who was to win but everyone around me wanted Arizona to win..Now if it would have been the Seahawks I would have wanted to see the whole game. My third cousin Mike Wahle plays for the Seahawks. That would have been fun. Maybe next year the Seahawks will make it to the superbowl. Keep my fingers crossed.
Havent been painting lately...have had a cold and been babysitting my granddaughter alot last week. Then I traveled out of town over the weekend. I am working on a picture of birds and with a sign saying Love Nest. So well see how this pink lettering looks on my blog...I think it will be to pale. Until next time...sally
