A Dog's Life
Glanced out the back door the other evening, while enjoying dinner and there she was, watching us eat, sprawled on the bench.
Is the dog too big for the bench, or the bench is too small for the dog?

Excited
I'm going to the Beth Moore simulcast at VCC this coming Friday and Saturday ... I'm so excited! Several of my good friends from our small group will be going also ... even more fun that way!
That's all I wanted to say. Short and sweet. I'm excited!

Reflections of Me
Oh, and did I mention that the Wienermobile was there also? Awesome.
Happy Dog
And full of burrs.

Great Grandmother Carol
It's hard to believe this was 2 months ago already.
Tara was just 6 weeks old in this photo.
She's getting bigger and cuter every day!

Live.Love.Lead.
We had the opportunity to hear Dan Cathy, the President and COO of Chick-fil-A, speak the other night at our church. What a message! He is passionate about his restaurants, his customers and his employees. His goal is to see the fulfillment of the Chick-fil-A Corporate Purpose: "To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."
How cool is THAT?
Eat Mor Chikin!

Thankful
Kelly gets new brakes today.
Matt gets new struts and more (springs?).
I get to be thankful for a husband who cares enough to do things like this.
Even though he really doesn't have to.
But he wants to. And he's good at it.

Gemeinhardt
Many years ago (about 4o) my dad took me to the local music store and he bought this flute for me.
I was so excited. And scared at the same time.
Because he believed in my musical ability enough to pay lots of money for a very nice flute.
This flute and I went almost everywhere together for 4 years during high school - marching band, concert band, orchestra, weekly lessons.
And then it was over. Stashed away in closets and attics until my niece asked to borrow it last year.
She recently returned it to me. I won't put it back in the attic. It deserves better.
I may even dust it off from time to time and see if my fingers remember how it goes ...

Homemade
Pretty soon we had some awesome salsa.
The kind you can't stop eating even though your nose won't stop running.
Well done, honey!
Front and Back
I don't know which was cuter, the front view or the back view!

Overnight
Late June in Eolia, Kentucky
An industrious little spider worked overtime during the night to create this complex spiderweb on one of the SWAP work trucks. Glad we noticed it before the truck drove to the job site!

Sonny 3
"Sonny 3"
Frequent visitor on the long front porch at E.C.C.O.
When the kids told me his name, I thought they were saying "Sunny D' like the beverage. Later their dad explained that the cat is named "Sonny 3" because there were 2 other "Sonny" cats before him. Not sure what the story is, didn't want to ask. Down in the hills of Kentucky there's a far different perspective about pets and how to care for them - I learned that by listening to the stories of several of the older men we met and talked with. (We'll leave it at that.)
Rocky
Off to the side of the group, I heard a little boy whisper to his mom in an urgent tone: "MOM! What's a BELCHING horse??"

Success
They may be a funny shape.
And they're very small.
But they're still homegrown tomatoes.
From our very own back porch.

Trash to Treasures
Oh, and best of all, some sweet little kitty cat Robeez ....brand new, for $2. I think that's a pretty good deal, right? From what I've heard, these are pricey little shoes.

Twenty
Her official "20 years old" portrait.
Not so bad for being a geriatric cat (as the vet refers to her).
She may be scruffy and walk funny but she's still loving life!
