Happy Birthday Woo II

Happy Birthday Woo

Hi Guys

It is a special occasion. It is Woo's birthday this month. She came to our house spring of 96' as a puppy. She was about 2 months old and someone didn't want this special puppy. We were lucky that she chose our house to wander into. The rest is history.

Woo is short for Gimawoo. That's black-sesame-porridge in Chinese.

She's a well travel dog. She's been to Hawaii and swam at the North Shore. She's been to Kansas. Unlike Todo, she didn't get swept away by the tornado. She went back to California for awhile. We were back together summer of 08'.

Since then, we've been to New Mexico camping, the Petrified Forest, Black Walnut Canyon, Yellowstone, Rushmore, etc. She's now in Georgia. She lets me sleep in her bed at night. She enjoys the company of Baysee (another dog I adopted from the Humane Society. His birthday is around Halloween). They play all day long when I'm working. Or should I say she boss him around all day.

She's 14 years old and going strong. She's queen of the house.

She enjoys her stroller. When Bays and I go jogging, he drag and I push Woo on the stroller. But, she's not one to just sit and enjoy the scenery. For the last 1/3 mile of our jog, she likes to get off the stroller. She would stretch, roll on the grass, and take her time walking back to our car.

Help me say Happy Birthday to this old girl.

Sugar Snap Peas

Cl. Panic gave me two sugar nap pea plants about a month ago and they have now doubled in size. I created a scaffolding out of coffee stirrer sticks using Coach Nelson's glue gun. They look so happy! Soon, they will be ready for harvest and we can sneak them into hot pot!

Three more peas have come in! Earmarked for L. Woods, Cl. Panic, and Green Thumbs. See if you can find them!


Update (3/16/2010):
Oh, no! My peas have competition! Below are Cl. Panic's peas. Note the net. It is from Daiso, the Japanese dollar store. The peas are looking great. I expect Cl. Panic to bring in a yummy sugar snap pea salad soon.

Happy Birthday to Midge!

Oh, dear Midge,

You are nearing middle age at such a fast rate! I remember when I was your age. The time just flew. So, have a piece of cake (Cl. Panic chose this one especially for you!), sit back, and watch the years roll by. See ya on the other side!

Wheeeeeee!!!

Your favorite aunt,
