puppy love...

I am so in love with my friend, Ron's puppies. He got two bulldogs after his other bulldog passed away a few months ago. He named them Winston and Churchill. They are the sweetest little guys. I wanted to hijack them but I don't think Denver would have appreciated it.

happy 91st...

My grandma is 91. It's hard to believe. She has lost a lot of weight since I took this picture. She is actually so proud that she weighs less now than when she was in her 20's. In fact, she is careful about everything she eats because she doesn't want to weigh more than 120. I have her genes and now I have pretty much resigned myself to not seeing the 120s again until I am 90!

One more amazing tidbit is that my Grandma has an aunt who is 96 that is still living and in good health. She had a face lift at 95. Can you imagine still being able to call up your aunt when you are in your 90's?

I have been absent for awhile. I have not been feeling well and haven't felt like sharing much lately. It has been good to put my focus on others. I finally got my Etsy shop up and have two photographs for sale. I will continue to add other photographs this week. I spent some time at the lake recently. The above shots are from the holiday. I bought my nephew, Griffin a three man raft to ride behind the boat. We all felt like kids again riding that raft. We got bounced around like rag dolls but had lots of laughs.
