Silent Sunday

Over the river ...

…and through the woods to grandmother's house we go…Well, actually it’s much closer then that.

Waylon’s Mommy and Daddy ( a.k.a my Daughter and Son-in-law ) closed on a house this week about 5 minutes from Grammy’s!

Now my sweet boy can visit all the time to learn great life lessons…like these …

Ahhhhh fuzzy orange is my favorite color. 

Yes, he is going to be a great wise one just like his cousin Shannie… for sure!  ;)

The ugly duckling

Maybe ugly is just what most people see when they look at this chandelier.

It sure was what my aunt and uncle thought when they bought their new home...because they couldn't get it off the ceiling fast enough. But when I spied it in their garbage I fell in love.  I asked my uncle if I could have it… he laugh and said. "You know when I took it down I though Anna would probable love this"...well he sure knows me... But then I thought about that statement and wondered...do most people think I love garbage?...lol

 Well I see potential....and its daises!  I just think they are the happiest flowers ever!  And now I'm on a mission to make this ugly duckling light fixture a beautiful swan. And Uncle Fub you’re not getting it back when I'm done.... 

It's my garbage now.  :p

It is finished!

The floor is in and I have moved into the studio!

Yup I'm 

doing a little silly happy dance!!! 

 Also thought it would be a great home for some of my vintage camera collection.

 This one is my favorite…just because it still has its box… and what’s on it. ;)

Well the wee whittle one is back from the beach so it’s going to be a play in the studio day as I catch up on all her adventures.

Richard my love, thank you!…your still making all my dreams come true….love lightning baby!

Hot dogs and Watermelon anyone?

Well it sure has been some dog days of summer in our neck of the woods …so I decided some nice refreshing watermelon was just what we all needed.

 And the pups sure did agree.

 I had to bring in the big gun to finish it off.

And I got me watermelon kisses the WHOLE rest of the day :)

Gone fishing but eating crow

I have inadvertently trained Lil Ricky that camera means treats. So every time I’m trying to photograph the other dogs she cries this pitiful cry because she does not want anyone else getting her treaties.  So after one of those munchkin size hissy fits I decided fine, you want a treat girlfriend you are going to work for it. ”

Well, by the end of the shoot I was the one that learned a lesson….this dog really trust me...and...  

The best proof of love is trust.  

I turn to you

Our sweet friend baby Evan went home to Heaven and Jesus yesterday. Some of you may remember him from a blog post back in April. 

Click here for the link.

He had to have surgery and something went dreadfully wrong and

his little body could just no longer keep fighting.

He was born Christmas day of last year….and has been fighting so hard.

And even thought we were only blessed with him for these few short months, He has left his footprints on my soul. And I will never forget him.

Please keep his parents and family in your prayers… 

They are completely heartbroken.

As I held Evan’s Mommy in my arms yesterday she whispered in my ear…

"I’m letting him go to Richard."

The reply below I gave to a dear friend in a text as she was remembering the first time we meet and held Evan... is what I know Richard is doing right now with that sweet baby.

And you all know me well enough now…when life makes no sense I turn to the only one that does….
