Shopping for puppy

Okay, who new there were so many things I would have to do to get ready for a puppy. I have to decide if I am crate training, if not, how would I pick up the 'doodoo' that Mimi Poo leaves behind. What kind of bed will I get for her to lay on. How will I train her. How much will her vet bills be....... and so on and so on and so on. I'm still excited though. Did you know, they have puppy diapers? I know this now and so do you.

Mom and Dad came for a visit. This is always fun for me to have them stay. They are pretty darn wonderful. I went with Cathy and Mom to get my hair cut. It is very short. She actually cut 5 inches off my hair. I didn't think I had 5 inches for her to cut.

I have some darling pictures that I am going to post for you to see. One is of Eliza, Zach and Savannah. The others are of my other favorite people. TTYL!

Political Poem

November is the magic month
Every four years we give our trust
Our belief in process can be blind
If we are not careful, we will be in a bind
Promises given, promises lost
Who to believe and what is the cost
Lives could be lost to either famine or death
Make a wrong choice and we may have nothing left
Bravery is shown in all walks of life
People willing to die for toil and strife
Freedom is fleeting but fiercely desired
What is the cost? What is required?
Honestly, loyalty, Integrity lost
Can these values be found in public office?
Conspiracy theories rampantly abound
What is the truth? Where is the sound?
Options are given, some taken, some not
Choices are given, what is right and what is rot
Ballots, proxy, counts are taken
In the end, do the majority make it?
Some will feel vindicated and some will not
Hope will lie in the next cast of lots
Turmoil abounds and is never ending
Through it all we are constantly spending
Who knows where the next four years will take us
We the people have hope that it will not break us
Let us give voice to our hopes and dreams
Take advantage of opportunistic means
In our country the options are ours
Let us stand for something and reach for the stars
Hope isn't dead it has only been sleeping
Let it awake life is ripe for the taking

Mimi's blue eyes

Here is a darling picture of Mimi's blue eyes!

My Mimi

Hi Everyone,

I teased you a little with my news about a baby. Thelissa questioned if she was feline or canine. I am going to include a darling picture so you can see her for yourself. She will be placed in my home on October 5th. I'm excited to have her. I'm sure after you see her you will understand why.

New Member of my family

I am almost positive that I will be adding to my family. Her name is Mimi and she is 3 weeks old. She has dark red hair and blue eyes. She fits in the palm of my hand. I'm considering a baby shower for Mimi and myself, so if I have one, I will be sure to send you an invite. I will be posting a picture of her soon. She is darling.

I love to Cruise!!!

Traveling is one of my passions. Here is a cruise I took with Paul, Thelissa, Mom, Dad and Leslie to the Baja.
