Joe, Pete and I would like to wish you all a wonderful morning! I am sorry I am late this morning but it has been one heck of a week here! I won’t go into all the details but many of you know our little Alie and Georgia (our doggies)… well Alie has been very sick and it started with major stomach and intestinal problems (no details!) …turns out after an abdominal scan she has colitis+ and then they did an echo of the heart and found that she has a bit of a heart condition that requires daily meds and then… they found another lump which we had aspirated and their was insufficient cells to determine the status so now we have to monitor it and if it gets any larger she will need her 4th surgery (DEEP SIGH!!!) Thank God that little Georgia is doing well on her new Cushing Meds! So… I will let you know how she is doing… I have to say she doesn’t look like things are not right God bless her! She is getting really good care 🙂 So… I am sorry I don’t have a ton for you right now but I will make it up to you next week with extra blogging tips! THANK YOU all for being so understandings! I appreciate you all and love you dearly! I want nothing but the best for each and every one of you! Let me know if your blogging situation is getting any better… just hoping that the climate will change for all! Sending HUGS!

Spring Awakening – A Day Of Small Things
I love visiting this blog and looking at real life in motion. I have to tell you… when I saw this small wooden dough bowl I was like WHY didn’t I think of this! I never thought to collect large beads of all different colors, shapes and sizes to use as filler. It’s really genius and what fun to collect. You can pick them up everywhere, some with meaning and others because they are beautiful! I also think it is therapeutic for you and guests to go through them … I LOVE this idea! Ok… not a good idea with kids under 6 hanging around… just put it away when they come! Check out the rest of the post and enjoy!

Happy Easter! I know I’ve been missing for awhile but Pip and I have both been going through our own health issues. I have thought of you and yours often; it is so hard when our pups are sick. I hadn’t thought of tabbouleh in years, I had a friend from the Middle East who used to make it for me. It is so good, I’m going to try to make some, always looking for something different, and especially something healthy.
HAPPY EASTER my friend! OMG I am so happy you are here. You have been on my mind for some time now and life just seems to take over as you very well know. You are going to have to fill me in in an email on what has been happening. I hope and pray that you and Pip are doing a little bit better. It is so hard and going through it yourself along with him makes it even more difficult. I just hope some progress has been made! Fingers, Toes, and Paws crossed, prayers said! Now you need to make yourself some tabbouleh! Then of course you need some rice filled grape leaves and some warm pita!!! That will make you smile for a little bit! PLEASE give Pip and Kitty big hugs from me and one for you too!Sending hugs and love to you and yours and wishes for a wonderful week!
Wishing you a Blessed Easter my friend! Sending hugs and love to you and yours and wishes for a wonderful week!

We know first hand the time and work. Reeses says hi.
Thanks for the feature and Happy Easter!
Hi there my friend, how are you. How is little Reeses doing? I light a candle each night of the week and Reeses is always always on the list… sure hope he is feeling better! My two have many many issues and we are trying to address them all… kind of like a doggie hospital when it comes to meds! They both have their own pill dispenser! I hope and pray that you and yours have a blessed Easter. I know that that butter is going to make things very delicious lol!Sending hugs and love to you and yours and wishes for a wonderful week!

Hello my friend, how are you today! Thank you for the kind words. The pups are medicating… resting and chilling! Prayers said, fingers and toes and paws crossed they will get through another bout. Sometimes I think it is even harder with them because you don’t know for sure how they are feeling… just wish they could talk! Thank you for sharing with us each week! Love having you here and a part of the family! Sending hugs and wishes for a wonderful week filled with all things good!
