Dear pals,
I thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes. 14 got off to an eventful start. We were getting a snowstorm (I think we got more than 20 cm/8 inches) of snow. Man was out for the day to go to pickleball and then to see the Ottawa Senators play. (Lady had bought him tickets in a Paw Pantry fundraiser). Lady didn't go to pickleball because she hates driving in snow and she would have had to driven herself.

| In the morning, checking out the yard |
At any rate. The day started ok but with too much singing. Then before lunch the power went off. It was off until almost 6 pm.

| The fire place |
Lady had made a fire (one of her goals for this year was to learn to make one). It took 3 tries but it was going good when the power left us. The generator was not working (Man hopefully will have fixed it by the time you read this so next time we have that).
Lady had planned to make treats and do other things. Instead we curled up in front of the fire reading and napping.

Lady felt bad for not getting my birthday cookies made, so I got half a slice of bacon instead. Not a bad second prize.
When Man came back he shared that driving down an unploughed side street to pick up his friend, he damaged his car. So we have that to deal with now.
With all we had to deal with, Lady is extra grateful she hired Callie's Dad's company to remove our driveway snow. It gets done early as we are the first stop for the employee. It is one less thing for us to worry about.
So it was an adventure of a birthday. May 14 keep me on my toes.
Your pal, Hailey Bug
we are glad your dad is ok ... but it is a bad thing to deal with all that... we think your dad deserved a big piece of bacon too...

ReplyDeleteYikes - at least the Man didn't get damaged too... I am glad you got fireside snuggle time and barkday bacon and generally seem to have had a wondfurs day! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
poor dad, a bad day with an accident and come home to repair the generator. LOVE that fireplace. nothing like toasting in front of a good fire. Lady did a great job to build a fire. Not sure if I could build one.. I do hope Phod got equal time in front of the flames, he is 14 and deserves it.
ReplyDeleteThat sure was an eventful birthday, Hailey. Now that the power is back on we think you should get those cookies the Lady promised.
ReplyDeleteOhhh well done LADY~~that is a beautiful fire.
ReplyDeleteLee Bryan would say BACON is way better than cookies for a BDAY
YIKES on Man's car. I hope not to $$$$

Thank goodness for the fireplace on a cold and snowy day and we hope the Man's car wasn't damaged too badly. Bacon is a wonderful birthday addition, Hailey!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a day, for everybody! We do think the bacon made up for the no treats!

I'm sorry I missed your birthday, Lee. It sure looks like you had a good one, except for no power. But that fire sure looked good...and warm! ~Ernie
ReplyDeleteI think your angels gave you the birthday wish of a lifetime by keeping your mom home with you, even if it was without power.
ReplyDeleteAny day that starts off with singing is going to be a bad day in this household.
ReplyDeleteBut bacon rates as first prize in my world.
Too bad about the damaged car though.
Toodle-oo!
