THIS IS MY HAPPY FACE
You know how to tell..
My ears are straight up.
THAT IS A CRYSTAL BIRD CHANDELIER
MoM took this last Friday during our
Sleet and ice event
THAT IS OUR JAPANESE MAPLE
COVERED IN ICE
It was glistening when Mom took the picture
I don't think she could get any closer because she was afraid
she would fall and bust her chin wide open.
(MOL, she says this all the time when I jump
finally I can say it to her)!!
BREAKING NEWS (literally)
We had about 1/2 " ice Friday night, pictured above.
Saturday morning at 9:30 my 83 year old
Grandpa decided it was a good idea to got out
to get his paper down his steep drive way.
We don't know why he thought this was a good idea.
BECAUSE it was not!!
He fell and slid down the drive way.
He had lots of scratches on his legs, shin and chin.
He also hit is nose and caught himself on is hand.
Yesterday he found out his right hand and nose are broken.
He is very lucky it was no worse than it is.....
My grandpeeps have a home health aide 24/7 but there
are some things she cannot like bills, groceries etc so Mom will be in and out. Mom has several post pre set for posting but our
commenting and visiting will be scattered about.
We will keep you updated.
Oh those ice storms are terrible. It is BEST to stay inside until it melts away. I hope the Grandpa is OK and heals up soon. Oh and I like your happy face.

Madi, the ice pictures are so pretty, even if it is that scary icy stuff. It is pretty to look at. I am sorry about Grandpa and I will keep paws crossed for him so he gets better.

Woof! Woof! Sending lots of Golden healing thoughts to your grandpa. Be careful to your mom too especially on driving on icy roads. We will be away too for a couple of days (just posted our last post for the month of Jan). Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteOh no not broken bones! I'm so sorry to hear that you have had another health issue with your parents. I'm glad they have the aid, but I'm sure you will have to help out a bit more now too. Millie will keep her paws crossed that everything heals soon.

The crystal chandelier feeder is down right ritzy! We think the little birdies felt very special eating there. Of course they were probably happy to have the cover over their heads.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your Grandpa Madi. We hope he gets better soon and doesn't make any more trips down the slick driveway.
Purrs,
Cindi Lou & The Kitty Krew
Adam & Georgia
Miss Madi, Your crystal chandelier looks so pretty sparkle ! Just love it : )
ReplyDeleteand I still purring for your Grandpa.

Oh, I hope your grandpa is okay...
ReplyDeleteYour grandpa is very lucky he was not hurt any more than he was! I am sending him some healing purrs - do let us know how he is doing.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Breaking News indeed. We hope GP is ok and makes a speedy recovery. The ice looks scary. Stay safe and no worries we will see you when we see you. Have a terrific Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Oh noes! Poor Grandpa. We're glad the injuries weren't more serious though the broken nose and hand is pretty bad! We're sending lots of healing purrs to him.
ReplyDeleteSending your Grandpa some comforting woofs

That is a pawsome picture of the bird feeders! But we are so sorry to hear about Grandpa. Believe me, Mommy can totally relate! (Mom said she will reply to your Mom's e-mail when she gets a few quiet moments. And we all know that Grandpa Bob keeps her on her toes so it may be a day or two.) Madi, please give your Mom a big hug from my Mom and tell her to hang in there!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lily Belle
Gee, your G-Pa really keeps your Mom hopping with all his antics, doesn't he? Hope he is better soon! Maybe Mom could use some roller skates to get things done quicker? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
Grandpa's care must come before all of us. We hope he has a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteOur Lady's grandpa once thought that doing roofing work on the hottest day of the year was a good idea when he was 75. We think older people can be stubborn!
Take care.
oh i am so sorry your gran pa fell, not a good thing. you should have told him what mom tells you, be careful or you will fall. i have never seen ice umbrellas, they are really cool. and tell Mom i like that lamp and the chest it is sitting on... and of course the ears up smiling face
ReplyDeleteI hope your grandpa feels better soon! All that ice can be skeery.
ReplyDeleteMadi, please give grampy a talking to. We have our paws crossed for him. We think those are attack ears
ReplyDeleteHave a fun day
Benny & Lily
Your crystal chandelier is simply gorgeous. How awful about your grandpa! Hoping he heals real quick.
ReplyDeleteOh NO! I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa.... That ice is dangerous....
ReplyDeleteOh better to stay at home if you have such a bad weather... All my best wishes to your Grandpa - hope he feels better soon. Stay warm and cosy Madi&Mom ;o)
ReplyDeleteOH how FANCY SCHMANCY... a Crystal Chandelier fur your Bird's Dining Pleasure. Gorgeous... butt that ICE is Scary.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your grandpa's FALL. You take good care of your MOM so she can take care of her dad. Don't worry... we all understand how busy you are right now.
Love the picture of the bird feeders. Sorry about the silly Grandpa. Bet he is hurting and maybe he won't try to walk around again on the ice. Madi, tell Mom to take it easy for a minute.Sending our best purrs and thoughts to everyone. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I hate hearing that about grandpa. Gosh o mighty, he could have been hurt a whole lot worse.
ReplyDeleteOh no poor grandpa. Please tell your mum not to worry and to take care.. Hugs GJ xx
ReplyDeleteOh poor Grandpa and poor Mom now.. Just when things were looking better. Love the ice photo's, they are fantastic. Big hugs Mom xx00xx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
Oh no, we are glad your Grandpa didn't have it worse - that must have been scary. We hope he is okay. And beautiful picture of the bird feeders!
ReplyDeleteOink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
We are hoping and purraying your grandpeep is doing better! Ice is very lovely, but oh-so dangerous. Stay inside and stay warm sweet Madi (and Mom!). Hope those 70 degree temps get there soon. Stormy here. Have a great day. xoxoxo from your BFFF, Prancer Pie.
ReplyDeleteAll paws crossed for your Grandpa. Poor Mom, so much to deal with.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
Oh your poor gramps! We hope he heals quickly!
ReplyDeleteYour Snowy pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Oh dear Madi, we are very sorry. Our HGD had a bad fall last September so we know how it is. It can take the older folk a long time to get over these things. We do hope he is healing well. Probably no use telling him to take extra care and stay indoors though (based on our experience...)
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Bertie.
How horrible. We all are sending our best purrs to your Gramps.
ReplyDeleteOh Noes! Crap. I hopes your Gpa is better! Oh, man, just when he was gettin' all good and everythings! Geesh. I'll be keepin' my paws crossed for him. {{hugs}} to you and your Moms!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby
Oh dear! Sorry your grandpa took a spill!
ReplyDeleteI think it is funny that your mom tells you you are gonna bust your chin wide open! I am glad she did not hurt herself trying to take a picture though - that would have not been good!
I am glad you have "happy ears" in the first picture - you are so lovely!
We are sending purrs for your Grandpa. Our mum doesn't like venturing out any more than she has to when it is icy. The icy pictures are pretty. Oh, and so are your happy ears.
ReplyDeleteMadi, glad to know which is your happy face, since you can't smile! :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that ice crystal chandelier is so beautiful!
And we are glad Mom didn't hurt herself getting the pic of the frozen Maple tree!
Sure, sure, rub it in how agile you are! LOL
Hugs,
Kathy & Molly
OH we are so sorry to hear about Grandpa we will keep him and your Mom in our purrs Madi.
ReplyDeletePoor Grandpa. Sometimes you just forget that you can't do some things with ice!
ReplyDeleteWe love the icy fingers of your Maple tree.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
OMC, Madi! We are purring for your grandpa and hope he heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteIce is very pretty to look at sometimes but dangerous to be out in. Sending prayers and good wishes that Grandpa recovers quickly. He's very lucky it wasn't worse.
ReplyDeleteOh my Madi, hope all will be well and he heals quickly! Us humans sometimes just refuse to begin our day without our morning news!
ReplyDeleteOh Dear! Wes will be purraying for your grampa (why does humans does what they do?)
