random . . .

What a wonderful morning!  

It is warm and sunny and smells like newly cut grass.

I have no place to be and that feels great!

  cats . . . big rabbits . . . paint and doodles . . . words on my walk . . . 

. . . and I think to myself

what a wonderful world.

random tuesday . . .

It feels like it should be Friday . . . it is only Tuesday.

It has been a hectic, chaotic . . . yet great day so far.

I am in the kind of mood that I like to be in . . . I should probably warn my family.

random tuesday . . .

It was the kind of week where a guinea pig invaded the house . . .
. . . because I am a grandma and babysitting guinea pigs goes with with the territory. 

It was the kind of week where having a blast just seemed like a good idea!

It was the kind of week that makes me believe in monsters . . .
. . .  doodle monsters anyway.  :)

It was the kind of week . . . where we found out that the end of Deuce's tail was damaged more than we realized
and he now has a whole new look.

Adopting a kitten . . . . $25

Getting the kitten's tail fixed . . . . $125 

His new look . . . . priceless

(The vet had to cut off a piece of bone from the end of his tail that was preventing it from healing properly  - then stitch it up.  We are hoping it heals this time - or he may have to have part of his tail amputated.  

Hope you had a happy Tuesday!

Make tomorrow a great day!

this week's random . . .

I take pictures all the time  . . . of everything. Sometimes they are with blog posts in mind, sometimes something catches my eye, sometimes I go for walks just to take pictures, often times the children in my life are just so much fun that I want to capture moments.  Later when I am looking through my pictures . . . there are those random photos that I just like for one reason or another.  

just because I want to post something . . .

I love those random memories that make me smile 

no matter what is going on in my life.

My coffee mug for today . . . 

I decided while getting rid of things that I really don't need or want anymore . . . that I did need to keep and use this coffee mug .  I remember having a lot of fun on that trip . . . although if I remember right it rained most of the week we were in Colorado (camping in the rain is always interesting), we found out that Elvis passed away (we were actually sitting in the car while it was raining when we heard the news), and my boyfriend's brother did get us into a slight fender bender.  At first I thought this was from one of the DCI competitions we competed in, but realized it couldn't have been.

1977 . . . what were you doing?

I mentioned in a previous post that Charlotte and I planted sunflower seeds . . . no they were not magic seeds and did not grow this fast.  I have this one lone sunflower that started coming up in the middle of one of my raised flower beds . . . I can't wait to see it bloom!
