It's Raining!

For the last few days, it has been raining here!  Finally...a steady rain.  We really needed it because everything was so dry.   We just heard on the news that they are called for a "Flood Watch" but they do that here if it rains for over one day.   Reminds mom of when she worked at the School Board and they would call her and tell her not to come in because they were calling for snow.

The entire day would be cloudy with no snow.  The good old days.   Which leads me to tell you what she has been doing since it's now rainy and rather cool.  Has she been working?  No.  Has she been lazy?  Yes.  She did go through old pictures again...she does that sometimes and goes down memory lane. 


Phoenix in a little basket. 


Tempting but out of reach.  It was like "Bird TV" for Phoenix.


Mom's grandmother Nana and Uncle Woody along with Tinker, Baby Doll and one of the kitties.  The love of animals runs in the family.  All are gone now but dearly loved.


Tinker and a little kitty.  Mom said they always had a house full. 


Sam the Boxer.  One time Sam jumped up on the chair that mom was sitting, it had wheels on it...mom went flying through the dining room into the kitchen!   Wayne, her late husband, couldn't stop laughing and neither could she.  All mom could say was "what a ride!"


This was taken a few years ago of me.


Jenny (Auntie Gwen's little girl and Alex, mom's dear Cocker Spaniel).  They made the perfect couple and are both now at the Rainbow Bridge.

Have a Great Day!!
Lots of Love!!!

Fall rain is good for the trees, my Mom says, and if that is so, we have had plenty!

Mom showed me lots of old pictures about Aunties and Uncles. Makes me want to nod off!

Hugs all around,

Sometimes it is furry sads to look at photos of those who are in heaven waiting for us but we must remember that when they were here on earth and we could touch them, we loved them furry much and always let them know how treasured they were in our lives.
