Good Morning! We are babysitting! So even though it is Caturday, we have no cats.
We would like to introduce Payton. He is an awesome Service dog and we are so Blessed to be keeping him. Thank you Bill Connel for trusting us with your dog!
This is him with our biggest dog, Carly. Thank goodness we have big beds as well as little beds.
He lays anywhere he wants to because he does take up a big area when he is stretched out.
Here he is in the yard with Carly and Reba. I think he has a ball and they are checking him out as well as what he has.
When I sent this picture to Kelly, she said, "When your babysitter doesn’t have a big enough bed for you."
So from J Lo, Reba, Carly, Rbt and I, thank you for the honor of getting to enjoy your Beautiful Service Dog for a couple of days. He is a Blessing to you and now to us too!
Make this Wednesday the day you take care of yourself first. Then you will be able to take care of others too.
After all, you are always needed by someone else. You are important to so many.
If you see someone in need, help them. Sometimes we just need help to survive in this world.
Isn't it nice when you have friends who are there for you at all different times in your life?
And friends that warn you when danger is around are some of the best friends you can ever have.
Thanks for being my friend and always being here for me when I need help. Now take good care of yourself today and every day because, after all, you are special.
Tuesday is here and Fall is still hanging around in Texas. I still get up before the sun comes up each day, how about you?
Just because it is Fall doesn't mean the same thing to us as it does to some of you. We are 75° and the days are beautiful. Perfect for sailing a super light Hydrofoil.
Yesterday I mowed the yard which mulched the grass, weeds, and leaves. Then while sitting on the patio, I saw a Mockingbird, a Blue Jay getting a drink of water, a Woodpecker leaving the birdbath, and a beautiful male cardinal checking out my plants.
Fall to us means no more 100's but we might get near 90° in November or even near Christmas. But Ole Man Winter will show up sometime in January or February.
I hope you are enjoying your days as much as I am enjoying each day that comes my way. Whether you have snow or rain, whether it is your most favorite weather or least favorite, share your smile and your love!
Tuesday is finally here. I do hope we get Tacos today. I have errands to be run either today or tomorrow. Then I will be working Thursday and Friday.
This is my precious Christian friend Kelly that I work for and is a true Blessing in my life. I love being able to help any time I am needed.
This is my view from my desk at work. I have 2 of those ornamental grasses in our yard and they are never that full of blooms or that beautiful. So I am blessed to watch these blow in the wind.
Again, we are soooo Blessed. Aren't those pretty pumpkins. We think our neighbor put them there. They just showed up this week. I planted that tree as a 3' little thing years ago to shade the mailbox.
This is where I am right now as I put this together and send it off. I LOVE my new "older computer" in the middle that is so fast. My old "newer computer" is now on the left. The extra monitor is on the right.
And of course, the LOVE OF MY LIFE who takes such good care of me every minute of every day. I would have a very hard time existing without him. I pray that you know I count you as a blessing to me too!
Good Morning! It is Monday and I am still looking for rain. We are supposed to have a good chance today.
It is hard to be content when most of my friends in the area have had rain. I know our turn will come soon!
So rain or shine, today is a good day to give thanks for my friends and maybe just read a book.
After all, reading can be magical and take us to places we have never been before.
But first, I am going to go look for my rain boots in case it does rain today. Oh, who am I kidding? If it rains, I will be out in the driveway dancing barefoot in the rain!
Plants are watered in front and back. The foundation was watered this week. Now the sprinklers are going full blast! Hope the cracks will not get any bigger.
We were never really sure what breed our Carly was even though some pictures were somewhat similar.
Then I ran across this picture of a Volpino Italiano.
She probably is a mixed breed, but that is the closest that we have ever seen to her.
This must be her cousin! I am always grabbing screenshots of dogs that look like our Carly!
It is obvious that our Reba is mostly a Rat Terrier mix! Ratty's have always been my very favorite!
I have had lots of Rat Terriers over a lifetime. Most of them have their tails docked but Reba got to keep hers.
Now, for our J Lo... we almost always rescue our dogs. So if anyone has any ideas as to what breed she is, please let us know.
We just call her our "Cutie Patootie" (mostly patottie) or our "Scruffy" dog. She taught all our dogs to STRETCH when you first get up. We love our Spoiled Rescues!!!
Now go catch that frisby and bring it back to me. Hope you have a Blessed Day!
This is the last FULL week of the month and it is flying by!
October just got started. Do your leaves all turn beautiful shades of orange and yellow?
Autumn is here to stay for a while even after October is over. Our trees drop leaves slowly this time of year. Then they all fall off when we get below a freeze.
We still have some plants that are just now blooming and show their beautiful colors for our fall.
Even though it feels like Fall for most of us now, the season for sweaters hasn't reached us yet. In Texas our sweaters come out in January and February.
Some of our Oak Trees never lose all their leaves. So let's just enjoy this season as the days get shorter and shorter with less and less daylight.
