I'd really rather be reading a good mystery or digging in the dirt. Add to that - visiting Riley, Iris and ClairePattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617954185594004416noreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513944075292997900.post-87426690802860893872009-11-01T18:51:00.004-07:002009-11-01T19:05:33.635-07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su49uWdRIbI/AAAAAAAAA3I/eMc5kHOSdL0/s1600-h/IMG_0227.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399320869775417778" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su49uWdRIbI/AAAAAAAAA3I/eMc5kHOSdL0/s320/IMG_0227.JPG" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su49uK36otI/AAAAAAAAA3A/24vsLXd-qqE/s1600-h/IMG_0224.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399320866665964242" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su49uK36otI/AAAAAAAAA3A/24vsLXd-qqE/s320/IMG_0224.JPG" /></a>Sweet Iris!</div><div align="center"><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su49t3sYv6I/AAAAAAAAA24/he21JRcWkws/s1600-h/IMG_0223.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399320861517332386" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su49t3sYv6I/AAAAAAAAA24/he21JRcWkws/s320/IMG_0223.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su48Y5CmObI/AAAAAAAAA2w/i0qIqajEFVo/s1600-h/IMG_0222.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399319401590045106" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su48Y5CmObI/AAAAAAAAA2w/i0qIqajEFVo/s320/IMG_0222.JPG" /></a> Riley the Ballerina!</div><div align="center"><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su48Ypxxf8I/AAAAAAAAA2o/DCn4MrBi3fw/s1600-h/IMG_0221.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399319397492948930" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su48Ypxxf8I/AAAAAAAAA2o/DCn4MrBi3fw/s320/IMG_0221.JPG" /></a> Twink Claire<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su48YZNRGgI/AAAAAAAAA2g/VnOjj4AiqRg/s1600-h/IMG_0220.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399319393044863490" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su48YZNRGgI/AAAAAAAAA2g/VnOjj4AiqRg/s320/IMG_0220.JPG" /></a> Cute Little Twink with her mom.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1513944075292997900-8742669080286089387?l=pattibartlett.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617954185594004416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513944075292997900.post-959721627742164102009-11-01T18:40:00.003-07:002009-11-01T18:50:08.165-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su46ji1NaaI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/DU1A7wUQK8Q/s1600-h/IMG_0218.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399317385583618466" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su46ji1NaaI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/DU1A7wUQK8Q/s320/IMG_0218.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su46jdJCD-I/AAAAAAAAA2Q/AKaDLiTE92w/s1600-h/IMG_0217.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399317384056147938" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su46jdJCD-I/AAAAAAAAA2Q/AKaDLiTE92w/s320/IMG_0217.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su46jCWgrpI/AAAAAAAAA2I/DEs_PBEsjck/s1600-h/IMG_0216.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399317376864923282" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su46jCWgrpI/AAAAAAAAA2I/DEs_PBEsjck/s320/IMG_0216.JPG" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">I was tending Iris and Riley while Eric worked and Catherine tries to recover from the flu - yes the doctor says it's the swine flu. Iris is a one-girl wrecking crew as is evidenced by the family room after her departure. Gotta love a one year old! Not only did she pull everything off the shelves, she took all the videos out of their boxes as well. One might ask what I was doing - just watching <em>The Rescuers</em> with Riley. </span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1513944075292997900-95972162774216410?l=pattibartlett.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617954185594004416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513944075292997900.post-52686568528383832652009-11-01T09:00:00.013-07:002009-11-03T18:22:52.716-07:00<div align="center"><br /></div><div align="left">Saying goodbye to old friends!<br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 277px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 201px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399166133582002098" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su2w_hN5d7I/AAAAAAAAA0o/m_ViJ5ntEII/s320/IMG_0055.JPG" />I couldn't believe it when my tongs fell apart right in the middle of frying tortillas - and after only 30 years!<br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399166764038095906" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su2xkN2WBCI/AAAAAAAAA0w/gRzAgv5uCOY/s320/IMG_0045.JPG" />Off to Kidney Kars for the Buick! </div><div align="center"><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 321px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399181203237299282" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/Su2-ssDs5FI/AAAAAAAAA1w/AypPXn9PH9w/s320/100_0029.JPG" /> <p align="center">Eric's annual birthday dinner at Fuddruckers!

Thankfully I am out of school for two weeks and looking forward to Christmas on Thursday. We had our family Christmas party on Sunday. All were conscripted to participate in the Nativity pageant. Eric told me we needed to have a pageant for Riley. He won't admit it though. Scott narrated, while the others acted the parts. This needs a bit of perfecting. Santa's elves are busily finishing up a few projects and hope to have them completed on time. We will have brunch on Thursday - ham, potatoes and the trimmings. I'm used to eating lunch at 11:00 a.m. so it works for me. Here are a few lovely shots from Thanksgiving at Sheri's. We had a great time with Dad and Marilyn and Gerry here as well as the regulars. <div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEXj5YO8_I/AAAAAAAAAT8/VqOJQasWO5Q/s1600-h/is_it_done_yet_.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283029743347626994" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEXj5YO8_I/AAAAAAAAAT8/VqOJQasWO5Q/s320/is_it_done_yet_.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYAMWIdOI/AAAAAAAAAUE/3NVNJaSObSE/s1600-h/two+cooks.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283030229475423458" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYAMWIdOI/AAAAAAAAAUE/3NVNJaSObSE/s320/two+cooks.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><p align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYADANhNI/AAAAAAAAAUM/SNNqyrPFmoI/s1600-h/dinner.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283030226967561426" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYADANhNI/AAAAAAAAAUM/SNNqyrPFmoI/s320/dinner.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><div></div><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYAT2t_TI/AAAAAAAAAUU/nrdVy4OKFMY/s1600-h/sisters.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283030231491149106" style="WIDTH: 205px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 328px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYAT2t_TI/AAAAAAAAAUU/nrdVy4OKFMY/s320/sisters.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYAsGS4KI/AAAAAAAAAUc/EeaLjWVcUJ4/s1600-h/p%26s.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283030237998932130" style="WIDTH: 309px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 228px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYAsGS4KI/AAAAAAAAAUc/EeaLjWVcUJ4/s320/p%26s.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYAsGS4KI/AAAAAAAAAUc/EeaLjWVcUJ4/s1600-h/p%26s.JPG"></a><p align="left"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SVEYAsGS4KI/AAAAAAAAAUc/EeaLjWVcUJ4/s1600-h/p%26s.JPG"></a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1513944075292997900-8379764770404322098?l=pattibartlett.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617954185594004416noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513944075292997900.post-14799434287020511682008-10-11T09:01:00.000-06:002008-10-11T09:46:44.161-06:00<div>So, summer is gone. My life is officially crazy. I have a new grandaughter, baby Iris, born the first day of school. School is in full swing, with only 3 weeks until the end of the quarter. It took 2 hours and a full greenwaste can to mow the lawn Thursday night. The tomatoes are pulled out of the garden. Stephanie spent 1 hour on the roof with the garden hose cleaning the roofing debris from the rain gutter downspouts. I threatened to do it, but she wouldn't let me. I wonder why? It's snowing outside. I am not pulling up the flowers until they are frozen solid, maybe sometime in December. Next week is Fall Recess, aka UEA. I am hitching a ride with Stephanie and her friends to what we hope is sunny CA to visit Dad, and go see Wicked. How fun is that! The really bright spot? My grandaughters, of course! Riley and baby Iris!<br /><div> </div><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SPDHolOP98I/AAAAAAAAARA/s2yslfFDNic/s1600-h/100_1430.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255920265141942210" style="" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SPDHolOP98I/AAAAAAAAARA/s2yslfFDNic/s320/100_1430.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SPDHpu9Kd9I/AAAAAAAAARQ/l-jyG_p_vOg/s1600-h/100_1441.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255920284934502354" style="" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SPDHpu9Kd9I/AAAAAAAAARQ/l-jyG_p_vOg/s320/100_1441.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SPDHpG-3mnI/AAAAAAAAARI/9XqBGUQAPUU/s1600-h/100_1440.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255920274204236402" style="" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SPDHpG-3mnI/AAAAAAAAARI/9XqBGUQAPUU/s320/100_1440.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1513944075292997900-1479943428702051168?l=pattibartlett.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617954185594004416noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513944075292997900.post-63245589369067892092008-04-25T19:01:00.000-06:002008-04-25T19:59:47.305-06:00<p style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SBJ_AQmR25I/AAAAAAAAANo/S1o25znwOF0/s1600-h/collage1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iAL83k65Ioc/SBJ_AQmR25I/AAAAAAAAANo/S1o25znwOF0/s320/collage1.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"> <span style="font-family:verdana;"> I love spending time with my family. </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1513944075292997900-6324558936906789209?l=pattibartlett.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Pattihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02617954185594004416noreply@blogger.com4
