<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis. By now you know that grandma-ma is bringing home a rescue dog. She is a miniature dachshund who is 3 years old and her name is Gynness. She is a pretty chocolate brown and then her coloring gets darker down her long back to a black brown color. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look at those sweet eyes.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Grandma-ma went shopping and bought her a new bed to snooze in. A pretty french blue mink blanket will keep her warm and let her snuggle under it.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzD9EeReR5kHGwsmmIM47pBZAeV1vnjhYuWIbjyoRGcPl1MwSSISIN1aNwYt82O39LmdQz2SLoMlL0TFObsBllotD9R0Mjc_jrIqzmwhejq6xhP4cySCRhIP6yDzu6YpYCBpOGHy2Too/s1600/DSCF9003+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzD9EeReR5kHGwsmmIM47pBZAeV1vnjhYuWIbjyoRGcPl1MwSSISIN1aNwYt82O39LmdQz2SLoMlL0TFObsBllotD9R0Mjc_jrIqzmwhejq6xhP4cySCRhIP6yDzu6YpYCBpOGHy2Too/s1600/DSCF9003+3.JPG" height="400" width="380" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gynness is crate trained. That means she will quietly stay in a crate while traveling or during the day while grandma-ma is at work. We will use the crate for a few weeks and then slowly let her stay out of it when grandma-ma is at work. She will have to learn how to tell grandma-ma when she needs to go outside and until she can do that, we will use her crate. It is a bright lime green and is like a "pup" tent. I think Gynness will like it, don't you?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJmCGcvn84DaEF6VPFvRh6GkuK7C9LkDwJH_Djv4iC24tOlcpb46JyFJOPWZXLg23tOXoV6R-JQeTwNLrfKwPBAiUsNMzN_3kvWVesldyW5Pk1rmBA6HUJkUVZn8EC52c3QbgczAoKIg/s1600/DSCF9004+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJmCGcvn84DaEF6VPFvRh6GkuK7C9LkDwJH_Djv4iC24tOlcpb46JyFJOPWZXLg23tOXoV6R-JQeTwNLrfKwPBAiUsNMzN_3kvWVesldyW5Pk1rmBA6HUJkUVZn8EC52c3QbgczAoKIg/s1600/DSCF9004+3.JPG" height="357" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And finally, another bed for Gynness to sleep in. Grandma-ma has an antique Eastlake cradle that I put a small, mink blanket matt for her to sleep on. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28RDXoDo3iUtAuYkraEyDFWeDU45kL51VnJLEcFQJZyCjPeKlTZm4wYM6jUjsZIRkfAoFDg5oubonUHHClgved376wtp58tLvhUhZYhj25byxvmZy-uFr6ADw-YMOlyd50JIyu9l3AUc/s1600/IMG_0726.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg28RDXoDo3iUtAuYkraEyDFWeDU45kL51VnJLEcFQJZyCjPeKlTZm4wYM6jUjsZIRkfAoFDg5oubonUHHClgved376wtp58tLvhUhZYhj25byxvmZy-uFr6ADw-YMOlyd50JIyu9l3AUc/s1600/IMG_0726.jpg" height="400" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gynness is ready for bed. She gathers up all her toys and puts them in her crate before she snoozes. She is still wearing a cone around her head to keep her from pulling out the stitches she has on her belly. Her stitches come out on Thursday and then she comes home to Grandma-ma forever. I can't wait until she is home with me. I will post lots of pictures for you to see.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Grandma-ma loves you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis. Grandma-ma is trying to catch up with her blogging. I haven't forgotten about you and when I saw this video I had to upload it for you. Watch carefully to see what is hiding in the leaves.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This husky dog is having so much fun. I think I would like to run through the leaves with him, would you? Do you know who liked to run through leaves like this? Kota did. When I would rake up autumn leaves and make a piles, he would dash through them with joyful doggie abandon. just like this Husky.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis. Here is another silly video about a goat who loves to play with a pink yoga ball. He is having such a good time with it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis. This video is posted for Connor. It is all about what the "farmer says." It is funny but also shows what a farmer does all day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bet the sound that Connor likes best is when the farmer says "vvvroom, vvroom, vvvroom."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grandma-ma likes goats. They are funny and smart and full of energy. When grandma-ma saw this video she thought of one of her raviolis and thought, "If Kelsey was a baby goat, she would be Buttermilk."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis. Did you know that many animals love to eat pumpkins?

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis. When you saw the ocean for the first time, what did you do? Did you run down the sand to the waters edge as the waves crashed in? Did you dive into the water with joyful abandon? This little Indian elephant baby is in the ocean for the very first time and he loves it. Look how happy he is with elephant smiles and rolls. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Grandma-ma can do. Yup, that is grandma-ma on a recumbent bike at the gym. She is doing some PT on her own to increase the bend or rotation in her new knee.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Five days ago, grandma-ma could not bend her knee enough to make the pedals do a complete circle. She had to pump them back and forth in half circles because that i as far as her knee would bend. Grandma-ma does PT exercises every day and each day she is able to increase the rotation in her knee. This takes lots of time and grandma-ma is not a patient woman but she is working hard. Her hard work paid off this week and now she can ride a stationary bike. Love to all of you and lots of hugs and kisses. Grandma-ma</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis, but especially Miss Kit Kat. Yesterday she and I talked about tea parties and why they are so much fun. We we were talking about how grandma-ma was looking forward to having them again as it will be easier on her "new" knee to stand up, move around, pour teas and prepare fussy little patisserie servers. KitKat asked what was a "Patisserie"? I bet the ravioli mommies know what a Patisserie is and I know that Aunt Renee knows what a Patisserie is. </span></div>

As you can read, Grandma-ma is very excited about her recent knee surgery and how, following a few months of physical therapy, she will be able to run amuck with her raviolis. Love to all of you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis. Grandma-ma has a question for you. How many staples does grandma-ma have in her knee replacement incision? Can you tell? You will have to look closely because there are a few that are lumped together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLHNTashNBNIYgIiXMNQ-UtovYdWDVJt9OYZXatKtSiHZ1dqsoytmlmgY9-261A5plP9HM1wCpMB5Kf4QDJGzXODAXl06yIsgk4H5APpUojJrta0QwT5aCI5reor4Bou3NK6KaLv37VTk/s1600/knee.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLHNTashNBNIYgIiXMNQ-UtovYdWDVJt9OYZXatKtSiHZ1dqsoytmlmgY9-261A5plP9HM1wCpMB5Kf4QDJGzXODAXl06yIsgk4H5APpUojJrta0QwT5aCI5reor4Bou3NK6KaLv37VTk/s400/knee.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Okay, I'm sure you have lots of questions for grandma-ma so let me answer a few right now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Does it hurt? - Nope, doesn't hurt and it isn't stiff, it feels kinda cool.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How long is the incision? It is 8 inches in length...that's a lot of staples.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Do I still wear a dressing? Yes, I do. It is five soft guaze squares that I place over the entire incision. This protects it from infectio.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Does it itch? Not yet, but it may once the incision starts to heal up.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Will is always look like this? Nope, the staples will come out, the scar will heal over and soften in it's look. It will be thick and white for about a year, but will eventually get smaller and fleshy in color. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Does grandma-ma worry about what it looks like? No, not really, it's a sign that tells me I have a new, strong knee that will let me play with my raviolis. That is a good trade off.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, how many staples are in grandma-ma's incision? Try and count and post how many. Or if you can't put up a comment, then send my your guess in an email. With winner will receive a special prize. Grandma-ma loves you all. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis. Grandma-ma just found the neatest way to serve birthday and holiday treats. You can make a candy plate from hard candies like the Peppermint Mints that are usually given out at restaurants.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><img height="320" id="il_fi" src="http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/the-land-of-peppermint-candy-square-andee-photography.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="320" /><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lay parchment paper on the cookie tray
you use so they don't stick to the tray and it makes it easy to lift off
the tray to cool. If you want a perfect circle, use a cake pan.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> You unwrap each candy and place them in a pattern. Make sure they are touching each other. </span><br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-40113" height="213" src="http://www.clippergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Peppermint-Candy-Tray-300x213.jpg" title="Peppermint Candy Tray" width="300" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><img alt="peppermint serving tray" border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fkX0fKFMfHk/TvS8u5UIi8I/AAAAAAAANMg/ZdVRwDGeEZk/s320/IMG_1081.JPG" title="peppermint serving tray" width="320" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You then bake at 350 in an oven and bake about 5 minutes. Check to see that all have melted into each other. You may need to bake it 1-3 minutes longer depending on your oven. Be sure to watch after 5 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Take out and allow to cool on cookie sheet {cools in approximately 5 minutes}<br />
Remove parchment paper from bottom {be careful, tray is fragile and breaks easily}</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ha_HNMUx1s0" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wish I discovered this neat candy plate before Christmas. Still, this would be fund to make in red and white for Valentines Day and when the easter colors come out, you can make one for Easter treats. Have fun making these serving plates and post a photo if you do. Love Grandma-ma</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Jaw dropping, high-speed, brakeless journey down the mountain.
Austrian downhill coaster is nevertheless terrifying." The coaster located
Mieders , Austria , starts at the top of a mountain, reachable by a cable car.
It's pretty simple: single pipe, single person, single giant sloping, winding
hill. But through hundreds of pine trees whizzing past you on tight bank curves
and it gets a bit scarier. Oh, there's no brakes!!!</span></div>

is several dozen times higher than at sea level, which would make
gas bladders inefficient for maintaining buoyancy. Instead, the flesh of
the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly
less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor
without expending energy on swimming. It looks like a fleshly old man doesn't it?</span></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnLkIvgAsVMKQyYxc3am35Lr8EGMnyjH338rxMrDRonEJKaEfkctUJrRtgVxsYykRqitVIFSskg6ys9VJeDLzrrrKkXlWAxKbyyI1sx3hbffWrB05NRbS-7kq5MacnWeR16KrBMCmF8V8/s1600/560764_4294608774857_2041583063_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnLkIvgAsVMKQyYxc3am35Lr8EGMnyjH338rxMrDRonEJKaEfkctUJrRtgVxsYykRqitVIFSskg6ys9VJeDLzrrrKkXlWAxKbyyI1sx3hbffWrB05NRbS-7kq5MacnWeR16KrBMCmF8V8/s400/560764_4294608774857_2041583063_n.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello my raviolis. It's been a while since we did word of the week Wednesday, but today's word is nothing short of what you will see in the below video...Amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Yes, today's word is <span style="font-size: x-large;">amazing</span>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Amazing is defined as being t<span class="st">o affect with great wonder; astonish and surprise. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Z0qGvC3vqaA" width="560"></iframe> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Watch as you see the ocean tide return to the sea under the blocks of ice. What follows is magical. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is truly amazing and another wonder of nature. Grandma-ma has to admit that she would venture into this short lived world. Would you?</span></div>
