Top 10 Things I Look Forward To…


So here it is…

My list.

The list of things I look forward to.  This list is a combination of “bucket list” items and everyday items and “someday dreams” items.  It’s not put into order by my most important item as #1, it’s more in timeline order.

As I sat down to write this list I realized there are so many more things I could put on here.  The “little things”…like watching Gabi run cross-country races this fall, or her basketball games.  Or seeing Sam off to her 2nd year at college…and the daily phone calls when she’s gone.  Or the chances I get to see Alex, Tom and my adorable grandpuppy Louis (snorts and all).

I HAVE A GRANDPUPPY!!!!


Yes, you heard me right!

A Grandpuppy!

Let me formally introduce you to the new love of our family, Louis (pronounced Lew-ee)!

Isn’t he absolutely ADORABLE?

Of course I may be a little prejudice…

I can’t wait to meet this little man (err…English Bulldog).

Alex and her boyfriend Tom adopted sweet little Louis on Saturday.

I have refrained from racing down to meet him…I told Alex that they needed the weekend to bond.

I will wait…

I can wait…

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!

But…

Oh My Gosh…

I want to squeeze the stuffin’s out of this sweet little dog!

Grandma can be patient!

I think…

Have a blessed day everyone!

You Were My Baby Boy…


Pet people will get it.  Non-pet people may not.

Hershey came into our lives over 13 years ago.  A sweet little chocolate lab puppy that was the runt of the litter.

At the time, our family consisted of two girls:  Alex (10) and Sam (6), and one more baby on the way.  Little did we know that our 2 legged baby would be another girl and that Hershey would be our baby boy.

And what a sweet baby boy he was – right from day one.

He was Tim’s best buddy (Tim’s only comrade in arms against all the female hormones of the house).

It was me or the dog…


Not in the “tell your husband he has to choose between” way…

It’s more like which one will he get stuck with.

I’ve been sleeping on the couch since my surgery as it really is more comfortable being propped up on pillows.

That was until 2 nights ago.

Have I mentioned how much I love our chocolate lab Hershey? Read more

Man, Woman and Child’s Best Friend


Look at this picture of my Dad when he was little.

You can just see how much he loves his dog.

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of him when he was little…

I thought about tagging it with a title…A Day in the Life of a Boy and His Dog. Read more
