Just a Little Talk with Jesus
A couple of months ago, when I was taking care of my two grand-dogs (the big furry, 85-pound Australian Shepherd and the 5-pound Yorkie), I didn’t let their leashes out too far when we went for walks. If another dog came along, I had them close-at-hand to keep them from getting too close to trouble.…
Comfort and Peace in the Storm
I’m continuing my blog series about these two furry grand-dogs that I’m keeping while my children are away. It’s Sunday morning and I get a wake-up call, rather a wake-up barking at 4:30 am from Emma, the Yorkie. I’m not a happy camper. Who wants to be awakened by a barking alarm? My sleep is…
Today my soliloquy goes like this: “It’s my birthday! It’s my birthday and it’s a MIRACLE! In spite of all the odds, I am still here!” On this my B-day, I’m dog-sitting my children’s 85-pound, Australian Shepherd, Buddy, and their 5-pound Yorkie, Emma, while the fam is hanging out and enjoying the cool temps and…
Bunny Trails That Give Bunnies a Bad Name
So I’m still caring for this pint-size Yorkie who, BTW, is about to get “shipped out” because she keeps telling me what to do. “Treat? Go for a Walk? Scratch my tummy! Put me as close to you as I possibly can get!” And, I yield to her, almost every time. Those big brown eyes…
A Different Valentine’s Day
It’s 5 am, Valentine’s Day morning. Nothing new about that. That’s my usual get-up-and-go time to first thing post my blog for this day. But, something’s different about this day. It’s 28 degrees outside – the coldest morning so far this year here in Frisco. And, I’m all geared up in my husband’s ski-pants, my…
Oh, the Entertainment Value of God’s Creation
Change is in the air and change is in God’s creation. Austin’s Hill Country behind my children’s home is a display of God’s handiwork. Many of the trees are showing off their radiant, colored leaves and the evergreens are just that — ever green. And there has been changes and additions to our family here.…
It’s a Dog-Eat-Dog World Out There
Who would have thought that some of my best “pals” these days are dogs. It comes with my territory and my family. There’s my grand-dogs: Buddy, the 75-pound Australian Shepherd and Emma, the 4-pound Yorkie, who, I happen to be their caregiver right now while their family is out of town. I get a kick…
What Once was Lost, Now is Found
It was my son, Larry’s birthday on Sunday and it was a packed-full day. That’s just the way we roll around here on birthdays! After church, it was to his favorite Mexican food restaurant for birthday lunch, opening gifts. Mine were the things I heard him say he needed during our fishing trip, including walkie-talkies…
Blondes Really Do Have More Furry Fun
Day 63 of Photo Inspirations — Blondes Really Do Have Furry Fun #TBT I was amused at the comments on my daughter’s FB post about her and Emma having the same color of hair. That reminded me of Staci’s Cocker Spaniel (also a blonde), Desi, that she had before she married, then on into her…
Celebrating the Cycle of Life
Day 6 of 365 Photo — Celebrating the Cycle of Life — Meet Emma, who I’m holding, and her friend, Max, who Lexi is holding. Events in the last couple of days were planned by my granddaughter, Lexi, whose goal is to attend her Dad’s alma mater, Texas A&M, one day. And, she plans to…
