A Sunday!

Well, Chester goes home in an hour. I will miss him. He's such a loving boy! Brewer went home a few minutes ago. April and Shlomo just departed. they each play their hearts out. It's wonderful. 

Cinnamon had a connection today. I will post the times on her blog. 

Here is the gallery.

I now have a growing list of things I must do. I am tired thinking of it. Tomorrow more Home Depot. Got to get ceiling paint and keep scrubbing the stove grease. I also have baseboards that I missed so more staining. Have all the photos down but more cabinets to clean and heave ho. I am not having fun but the dogs give me kisses and I smile and kiss them back. I take breaks and throw the rope toys and they LOVE it!

Think I am going minimal so hardly any photos up. We are still thinking it through. My walls reflect my mind - all over the place, I guess. I am so organized in so many ways and so cluttered - things I can't let go of - memories of moments and people I lost. It's crazy but we are trying. Right now the halls and the entryway only have the keyholder up and nothing else. We will place a painting over the bench and maybe call it a day.

I started going through my closet getting ready for cooler weather and realized I heaved most of my pants and sweaters and warm things. So, if each time you see me if I am wearing the same thing, you know and can laugh at being a bit too much in getting rid of things. 

Tomorrow night is Misty's last class and we take a break and think of some other fun class to do. 

I am trying to figure out a yummy dish for the picnic. 

Nathan is swimming or reading in the pool. I am trying to finish a blog and get motivated. I need to be motivated. 

Dogs are having a ton of fun!

Longtime lurker, first-time poster!

Wow, so exciting that you might have puppies soon. But it sounds like even without puppies coming, you guys are really keeping busy. Wish you the best with all the repairs and tasks you've got on the go. :)

I'm really hoping to make it to the picnic this year. Marlee was only 6 months old the one and only time we were able to be there. As you know, she's now 12 1/2!! I brought devilled eggs when I came. I'm struggling with an idea of what to bring as well.

Sounds crazy busy at your house Darlah.

When I look at all the young pups, I realize that I can no longer keep track of who is who... Oh well I just enjoy looking at all those sweet faces.
