The Joy of Pets

Filed under: Pets,Things I Love — gardener @ 8:09 am

The weather has been absolutely perfect today, so when Marcel and I got home from a little running around- we decided to take our adorable little JJ for a walk over to Desere’s house.  She was sitting in the back yard soaking up some sun and we decided that we’d join her. 

Aside from my mother-in-law’s, JJ has never really been to people’s homes.   We never want to assume JJ is welcome, and Desere is actually allergic.   We asked if it would be ok if we brought him, since we would be sitting outside and she was fine with it.   I’m happy to report that he acted like the perfect little gentleman, and I was a proud pup owner.  

Desere went through some old balls of K and T’s and found the one that you see in the picture.  She gave it to JJ to play with, and you would have thought he’d been given a piece of gold.  He played, played and played some more.

By the time we walked the 3/4 mile there, he played with the ball and then walked the 3/4 mile home- the little guy is exhausted.   Isn’t it amazing how animals can bring such a great amount of joy to our lives?    I don’t know what I’d do without both him and Mister M.   They are truly a bright spot.

Making a List

Filed under: Home,Shop til ya Drop — gardener @ 7:21 am

Marcel have been talking a while about changes we would like to make ‘in-house’. We have ceramic tiles throughout most of our home, with the exception of the three bedrooms and one hall- those are laminate. When we bought the place, we found something that we liked, but since then I’m not sure if my taste has changed, or that maybe I was feeling pressure of getting everything done so we could move in so we just picked ‘something’, but now I’m really hating what we have.

One of the things on our ‘to do’ list is to change the flooring in those rooms, but everything we’ve looked at has been expensive. I want something nice, but also want to get the best deal for my money, so I’m waiting for a laminate flooring sale to see what kind of deals we can find. I’ve got a few ideas of what I’d like, but I’m going to have to be patient, and let me tell you- that isn’t going to be easy.

In the meantime, I’m continuing to get rid of things that we aren’t using in hopes to save a little extra cash for the new sofa and chairs that we want to get later this year.
