What is On My Mind Today, You Ask?

Oh!  You didn't ask?

Well, you are welcome to stay

and read anyway...  if you like.

See this little sweetie?

His name is Mister.

He is not necessarily as sweet as he looks

but I love him anyway.

This was the dog we fostered while his

owner found a home after leaving an 

abusive situation.

Sadly, just as she has gotten settled into

her new home and life it appears she is 

about to be diagnosed with lymphoma.

The surgeon who did the biopsy on Friday

was pretty convinced that was what he was

looking at.  We are waiting the lab results.

Warren and I stopped in and visited Mister

and his Momma the other evening.  It was 

the first time we had seen him since he stayed 

with us.  Wow!  That was fun!!

He remembered us and went crazy with kisses

and his little body wiggled all over the place.

That made us feel so good!
Especially since he has bitten so many
of his visitors.
Not hard, but he is
a very snippy little
dog....

Praying for God's best in this woman's life.
She tells us that she is at perfect peace.
A peace that just cannot be explained.

Today is Mikey's first mid-term.

We have learned that most of the others

in the Professional Gardener's Program
have already completed college.

Yikes!

His learning curve is steep.

Just learning the test taking skills and such 

that freshmen learn and being away from home

for the first time...all add to the challenges

he faces that the others do not.

Move in Day...He was so sick with the flu.

Mikey has been doing well but 

I know he is worried about what is to come

as the work cycle with a light class load will 

come to an end and the class cycle will start

in a little while where he will have six classes 

at one time.

Just makes a Momma's heart ache for him.

Although, you know, it is what he wanted and 

he has already worked so hard to earn this 

cherished spot in the program.

He is perfectly capable.

It was fun this weekend as we were in the kitchen.

I was cutting peppers for a veggie tray.

Suddenly he was telling me all about the process of

making hybrids.  I was quite impressed...

but then, I am the Momma. 

I've been impressed by him since he took his

first breath!

 Warren's mom, Georgia, is supposed to fly in 

from Florida this evening.

We are supposed to get a 

snow storm.

Arrgghhh.....
The weather man says that the heaviest
snow is to come just at the time we
would be getting her and heading home.

Bad, bad timing.

Thankfully, Warren will be able to drive us

to the airport.  We will see if her flights are on 

time and how everything goes with that.

She may end up sleeping in an airport if the 

connecting flights are canceled.

I hope not!

I did suggest that she just stay in Florida for

another week.  But, I think part of her is just 

ready to be home.

She'll regret that the moment she feels 

the cold and sees the snow!

O.k, I am done chatting away.

I could go on and on.

But, I won't.

Your feedback on Etsy and 

candle making in general is much 

appreciated.  I am leaning in a direction

that I need to discuss with Warren.

I'll get back to you on it when I know more.
I welcome all feedback!
You are the best!!!

Have a very wonderful Monday.

Hope it is filled with smiles.

They are so good for your face!
