Hello!!!

Is everyone out there as busy as me? Seems like no one has time to blog anymore including me. That's the downfall of summer,too many chores.I just wanted to take a minute to say hello and I'm still here. If you drop by,leave me a comment and let me know how things are going and how you spend your summer days. I always wondered why they are known as "the lazy days of summer",it should be "the lazy days of winter". Soon(I hope)I will have time to stop and smell the roses.

A Good Week

Hi all,It's been busy around here so I have not had time to post in a while.It's spring you know and the "to do" list grows larger each day. The time is going so fast, It will be fall before I get ready for summer,but quite a bit has been accomplished this week. Still there is much to do.


All in all,this was a great week for me,I have had company everyday. Some might say "OMG",but when you live alone,that is a blessing. Every single day for the last 10 days,this felt like home again. I had old friends from out of town come and stay,grandchildren came,children came by,also an occasional visitor would drop in or call. Oh, how I love a full house.

A Wise Old Owl

Something dawned on me this morning just when I least expected it,(for all the smart butts,no it wasn't the sun).It was the fact that after all these years of making every mistake in the book,I can finally see where there might be a purpose for that.


For years now it seems I have spent a lot of time solving other peoples problems. Some have asked me why I continue to listen to this on a daily basis from so many different people.They asked because,they know I take everyone's problem to heart.I am a known worry wart who wants to fix everything for everyone. Isn't that suppose to be a male trait? Must have been all the estratest I took when I was younger.


The "something" that dawned on me this morning was that I love giving advice to people that are going through things that I have already been through. Hoping to make their journey a lttle smoother than mine. Weather they take that advice or not is up to them,but just knowing they think enough of me to ask my advice makes me feel like a wise old owl.


So bring it on, I'm pumped, I earned these gray hairs(under my haircolor),ask me anything, anything at all,I don't give a hoot.

Shih Tzu Mama

I am the mama of 2 shih tzus which I consider my furry children. They were both rescue babies and came to me at a time I needed them most. People say I spoil them rotten,I tell them that is the reason I have them. I have also been asked if I plan on spending the rest of my life single? Yes is my standard answer,and of course they want to know why I would prefer my furry children to a man. Here are some of the reasons why.

1.My dogs are always happy to see me.

2.Dogs are better protectors than men.

3.Dogs can be taught the word no.

4.Dogs don't take a handful of pills when their sick to keep from going to the vet.

6.A dog will fetch the morning paper.

7.A dog wants to be near you.

8.You can ask the vet to snip him even if he objects.

10.You can leave a dog alone and not worry about what it will break.

11.Dogs whine less.

14.You can train a dog not to lie on the bed,a man always lies in the bed.

15.Most dogs are really good with children.

16.Dogs are happy just to snuggle.

17.Having a dog around can actually relieve stress.

Rain Rain Go Away!

I think it has rained almost every day for the past 6 weeks. I'm afraid to complain too much because I know when it stops we are in for very dry weather. Oh what the heck, I have to complain. It's like a doggone swamp out there, you know it's bad when it smells moldy. Maybe I can mow and weedeat soon. I am trying to get a few things done in the house. Today I put away winter clothes and unpacked the summer stuff, I have to do that twice a year because there isn't enough closet space in this old house.The spare bedroom has become a store room so somethings gotta give which means I better get ready to part with something. I don't part with things to well,I always think I might need that for something one day.I'm going to stop this rambling now about my chore's, I'm sure you have all had about enough.As far as the rain goes,If no one hears from me in a few days,send the lifeboats. And I live on a mountain!

The pro's and con's of computer addiction!

Well guy's I'm addicted. There's no doubt about it,and here are the reason's why.

3.I have cut down drastically on my Grazing(snacking)so I could possibly lose a pound or two. That's another pro.

4.My furry children are feeling awfully unloved.Another con.

5.My spelling is improving(a little). That's a pro.

6.My soap opera is missing me. Another con, or is that a pro?
