Peaches - My Wonder Dog

We all love our pets. It amazing how they can brighten our day and lift our spirits.

Peaches is a twelve year old gray hound/lab mix. We got her from the pound when she was a puppy. I like to call her a cat in a dog's body because she loves to rub up against you.

Not particular brave, she'll bark while standing a good distance from a preditor. The hair on the back will stand up and she looks intimidating.

Just thought I'd tell you a little about my dog.

Add comments and tell me about yours.

Have a great weekend.

School Starting

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. ~Author unknown, commonly misattributed to Charles Darwin

With all the changes we go through each day of our life, some we take without question or comment while others we struggle to deal with. No matter which
way we handle it life keeps moving forward.

For all the mothers and fathers who are dealing with their child going off to kindergarden, middle school, high school and college. I can sympathize with your struggle.

It's never easy to see our babies leave the nest, but it's wonderful to see them fly.

Love,

Tina

Football Season

It's that time of year again when the grid-iron heats up.

I watched the first game last night, Colts vs. the Redskins. Not a bad game, but I like to watch college more so I'm waiting for the seasonopeners.

Luckily with Olympics starting, I have something to tide me over until the season gets underway.

Hope you have a wonderful week.

Love,

Tina

My Blue Spruce

Some of you might remember my beautiful blue spruce I planted in the spring.

Here's a picture of what it currently looks like.

Silly me, I thought it was only because I hadn't water the tree enough.

With some help from a friend, I discovered I have bagworms. Luckily, we believe we caught them in time, and the tree won't die.

Beware of this pesky worm.

Home Project

This weekend I decided to redo my hall closet.

I bought one of those closet organizers. The instructions were surprisingly simple, and the whole task wasn't as difficult as I'd expected. Measuring, drilling holes, and hammering in a few nails, and the job was done. The worst part was cutting off the shelves with a hack saw.

It did take most of the day, but well worth the time.

I also found out later I'd used the wrong saw, so maybe this is easier than I think.

Have a great day,

Tina

Creative Trash

These sheep can be found in the Frankfurt Museum of Communications and are created by

Jean Luc Cornec. They are made from old telephone parts and cords.

Very interesting,

What kind of Super Power do you want?

This may sound like a strange question, but have you ever thought about it.

One night while in a restuarant, my son and I were discussing the subject when our waitress came up. I asked her what kind of super power
did she want to have. She picked the ability to stop time.

"Why," I had to ask.

"Then, I could stop class and take a nap. Then when I woke up, I wouldn't have missed a thing."

Sounded like a good reason to me.

Knowing the cosmos, when they handed out super powers, mine will probably be something silly like being able to change the color of a wall.
Not very useful, but I could drive my family crazy with multi-color rooms, and I would also save my husband many hours of painting.
