So busy this summer.

 I have been so busy this summer. We have been out riding the Spyder and enjoying the ice cream stops we have been making. I never knew there were so many flavors of ice cream to be had. 
 We had some sadness this spring when we lost our male furbaby to heart problems. It was not something we even saw coming. So we were in no way prepared. It hit us had. 
We said no more furbabies after we had to say goodbye to him. 
 But as God would have it, we adopted another this August. He does have a way of showing you the doors are never closed fully. 
She is a Poodle/Bichon mix. She is being trained in a diaper right now. She was stuck in a box for 3 months since she was 8 weeks old and was never trained in any way. So it will take time to teach her things. She is doing well with the other 2 babies. She will go outside when you take her. But messes quite a bit in the house and won't tell you when she wants out. So the diaper keeps the house safe from her accidents. 

 This is Amara Nomro. She is such a little lover. 

 So how has your summer been for you?? Keeping you busy or just lazing around enjoying the days?
Which ever it has been I hope you are all doing well and just know that God is watching over you and keeping you safe. 
Love you all. 

How time does fly when you are having fun. 

Fun- what exactly does constitute as fun? Some say as long as you are enjoying the day you are having fun. Others say you have to be *doing something* in order to be having fun. Or some say it in such a manner as to mean it in a disparaging way.  

I, myself see it as many different ways. 

Over the time period of my absence I have had fun in many ways. 

I've spent time with my grand kids. Spent time with new people I've met. Went to new places.  And even did new things. 

By that I mean we went on a River Cruise, which was really FUN. 

Went on motorcycle rides and visited places I didn't know existed. Such as the Mini Mac (Mackinaw Bridge).

And one of only 2 of the smallest Post Office's in the United States. This one in Michigan, the other one is in Florida. 

As for the other kind of FUN- we have had 2 fur babies die in the last 2 years.

This little lady-Punkin, who we thought would make it after we had her left leg amputated to keep the tumors from spreading. But no such luck. She was 14 when we had to make the decision to let her go home to god. 

Then this sweet boy- Manny, who was to go in for knee surgery in 3 days but came up with a cough that just wouldn't go away so we took him to emergency. She did many tests only to find out he was having heart problems that couldn't be fixed. He was only 8 years old when we had to say goodbye to him that day. Another one of the hardest decisions we ever had to make. 

Onto happier things- 

My son has moved back near us from out west. So we get to see him more often. 

Our granddaughter is graduating this year. 

Boy they sure do grow up so fast. Her brother is 2 years behind her. 

Can't wait to see how much fun I can find for the following year.
