PEACEFUL WALK

Last weekend I visited my sister. First let me say it was too short of a visit. We always have so much fun together. We took in a local theater production and their school foundations annual dinner & fun raiser. The weather cooperated so we were able to take a nice walk to the creek behind there place.

I love old snags as I call them covered with moss.  This area is private land so it was just us on our walk.

A tiny creek coming out from under the logs. Love the ferns.

This tree grew over and old cedar stump.  Love how the roots cascade down over the stump to find the earth.

Here is Big Creek, yes it is big but that is it's name.  This is a great fishing hole if you are lucky enough to get invited to this private spot.

I could sit  here all day and watch the water.  The sound of the rushing water is so soothing and peaceful!

I hope you enjoy your little walk with me on this day, I know I sure did!

Enjoy June

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

To all my family, friends and my wonderful blog friends I wish you a sweet day and a wonderful day each and every day of the year!

 This little vintage Valentine reminds me so much of my Mom.  She darned my Dad sock for as long as I can remember.  I still have her darning needles and thread in my collection and chuckle every time I look at them.  We are such a throw away nation that I wonder if anyone still repairs(darns) sock anymore. I always wondered if my Dad felt that patch on the heal??

Enjoy your day and treat your sweetie today and most of all treat then sweet everyday! My sweeties are those seven sweet grandchildren!!!

Enjoy June

PROBLEMS SAYING NO

If you have followed my blog any you will know I have a big problems saying no.  Anyone can ask me for help of any kind and the first words out of my mouth are sure, no problem, I'll be glad to help. It doesn't matter if I already have commitments,  I figure I can always fit something extra end.  Does this mean I tend to over book myself, of course!

Well then let me introduce you to my latest problem of not say no!

This is Jackson! He is a member of the Last Chance Club.  Now you ask what is the Last Chance Club?  I think you can guess, but it mean that the Humane Society has deemed him not adoptable.  You see he is a ten year old dog and they say the chances of him finding a new forever home are very slim.  He is such a good boy, very lovable and playful.  His owner was a 90 year old man that passed away and the extended family didn't want him.  With living with an elderly gentleman he didn't get a lot of exercise and I think he got lots and lots of treats.  This little guy should weigh about 12 pounds and his current weight is 24!!!  Can you say chubby!!!  So he is working on taking walks with Jazi and I, plus only two meals a day.  Okay a couple of treats also.  This isn't boot camp!!!  But no table scraps.

Now you ask how Jazi is accepting him.  She is doing pretty good, mainly ignoring him like all dogs that come to visit. 

Well, maybe she is saying What is this thing doing on my sofa?   They each take a corner and do leave a little room for me to sit between them.  You may notice the spot on his back.  He had a wart removed so they shaved a spot.  We are hoping the hair grows back fast.  One other thing his previous owner couldn't remember his name so he called him peaches.  So we are also working on him recognizing his name of Jackson!

So for now Jackson is settling in.  Gosh, I should have my head examined!!! 

Sucker June!!
