Good Grief~I've definitely neglected this poor little blog! I have an excuse, however....I've really been very busy! For one thing, I discovered
Facebook...Quite the adventure! I've found friends I hadn't talked to since high school as well as a favorite nephew I hadn't seen or spoken with in years! It's fun - a wonderful thing - but it also feels rowdy and raucous - like I imagine walking into a frat house on party night would be. It's kind of nice to get back here to my peaceful meanderings.
Let me catch you up on a few things that have happened since I last posted. Life has become much faster since spring has arrived.....
Mother's Day arrived and all 3 of my kids called to wish me a happy day. LOVED it!! And to top it off, my husband bought me a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers:
The following Tuesday, Josh and Tia sent me this beautiful bouquet of tulips for a Mother's Day surprise!
It was wonderful to realize that it was warming up enough for the neighborhood kids to camp out in their yard....Tents have gotten far more extravagant than they were when I camped outside my house as a kid!!
Spring fever really hit me then, and I decided it was time to get outside and get our yards in shape after I saw that mother nature was beginning to do some decorating for me:
EVERYone helped out (except for Golly, who decided it was more important to make friends with the little girl dog on the other side of the fence).
With a little effort, the yards actually turned out quite well!
We were all worn out afterwards and decided to take a well deserved rest....
...And for the next two days, this little item was my favorite friend -
I've spent many pleasurable hours
scrapbooking for my
grandbabies:
More
scrapbooking......
...And even MORE
scrapbooking!! (Of course my
grandkids are so photogenic, the scrapbooks are growing to the size of a Funk &
Wagnall's!)
I even FINALLY found a scrapbook I can personalize for Sophie! I was afraid I would NEVER be able to find one!
So, you see? It's been a terribly busy place around here lately. In spite of it all, however, some things will always stay the same....
Brodie will be be the protector of the grounds....
And Goliath will be whatever he wants to be at a given moment....
Even if it means being a
knick-knack on
Muddah's living room end table!!
This was the front page headline in today's paper. Further, this is the 1st paper of the week, which means that THIS story was the hottest thing that happened in the entire valley since last Sunday!! To top it off, Smokey was not hit by just any car - Smokey was hit by a SHERIFF'S VEHICLE! This should tell you something about how busy they were this weekend.
