Kylee

Kylee was waiting for Brian to take her outside. She went and pulled this hat out of the bench. She was patiently watching Scooby, waiting to go outside. I love to take these close up pictures, she sure doesn't mind either. She never did get to go outside. Freezing rain started coming down. Waiting for spring.

Time for an Oldie

I couldn't come up with anything to post today, so I went into my oldies again. I came across this, our wedding party. Wow have styles changed in 26 years. Those dresses were the coolest back then, all the colors of the rainbow. You can't see on this picture but the guys wouldn't wear the shiny shoes that came with the tuxes. They all wore their own cowboy boots. I bet the rest of you have some awesome wedding photos too. How bout you show the rest of us?

Still Addicted

I got a new coffee mug for myself. You'll never guess what color. I didn't even think twice about it until this morning when I poured a cup of coffee. Then I realized: "Oh my gosh, it is red!" As if that should really surprise me. Then I noticed the new pitcher I got a couple of weeks ago....oh oh it is red too. As you can tell, I never did join that red lovers anon class.

Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead tonight!

Thinking of Andy

We have have had a tough morning today. Andy's dog, Tink, went to doggie heaven. It was a very hard decision for him. He loved her so much. For any of you that have known Tink, you know she was always the topic of conversation while sitting on the front porch in the summer. Everyone loved her. She had her issues, but that's what made Tink special. Next time you see Andy give him a hug and let him know you are thinking of him during this tough time.

A Parting Prayer

Dear Lord,

Please open your gates and call St. Francis to come escort this beloved companion across the Rainbow Bridge.

Assign her to a place of honor,

for she has been a faithful servant and has always done her best to please me.

Bless the hands that send her to you,

for they are doing so in love and compassion,

freeing her from pain and suffering.

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.

Help me remember the details of her life with the love she has shown me.

And grant me the courage to honor her by sharing those memories with others.

Let her remember me as well and let her know that I will always love her.

And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,

please allow her to accompany those who will bring me home.

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of her companionship and for the time we've had together.

And thank you, Lord, for granting me the strengthto give her to you now.

Amen.

All Dressed Up

Felicity is always dressed so cute for church. I love little girls in dresses. She has no choice yet, but hopefully she will continue to like wearing them as she gets older.

Here's her cute little shoes.

And here's the whole "outfit." Too cute.

I thought I would give my Weight Watchers update. It has been a week. I weighed in this morning and............drum roll please....................I LOST NOTHING! What's up with that? I never went over on my points. Since I have been "dieting" for a year now with the other one, I am chalking this up to: "I guess I belong this size, or even worse- I need to maybe exercise?" I have never been fond of the e word. Walking is about the extent of that for me. And of course it is way too snowy and icy and cold outside. I do have a treadmill in the basement, but what fun would that be? I think I am going to take up boxing.
