~*Slippin' By*~

Hello Dear Friends! Time is just slippin' by! There is so much I wanna tell ya & share with ya... goodness, where to begin?

Well, I'll just start and see how far of an update I can give you all. This past Friday were the annual Worm Races at our library. This was the first year Trinity has taken part in them. He came in 3rd! Or should I say? ~ his worm came in 3rd! My Grandma came for a visit and joined the fun. It was so nice to have her here and to share time with her!

Grandma and Trinity before the races ~


See the long, fat worm? That is 'Johnny' ~


The prize for the top three winning worms was a shiny trophy and a bag of gummie worms ~


Grandma guarded the worm between races. She had to be on-her-toes 'cause Johnny is FAST!


The temperatures here last week were in the upper 90s and sometimes hit 100+. We still enjoyed time outside playing with the worms.

A Boy and His Dog


Meet Brownie ~ our newly adopted, rescue dog ~


We adopted this lovable guy this past Monday. He has suffered from neglect and malnutrition, but is one happy-guy now! We took him to the vet for shots and heart worm testing his first day with us. The vet gave him a clean bill of health. He is eating good & loves to be brushed, petted, played with, and hugged. He has been spending time in the garage when we aren't able to be with him in the yard & has been very good about NOT having any 'accidents'. We have plans to build him a pen that will allow him to go in/out of one of our out buildings when he chooses ~ through a doggie door.

Now, if only all our feline, family members felt the same love we do for Brownie... all would be well ~



At least, Mr. Bean and Tommy can still play in the yard while Brownie is near ~

Thank you, Charlene, for playing with my doodle & sharing!

One more thing, dear friends... I'm thinking it is about time for another freebie. Please keep an eye out for another coming soon. I'm not sure yet if it will be a doodle or a chart... but something should be posted by the end of the week.

Warm smiles to you all...
