Smile...when it's time.

I was looking at an on-line magazine, Rue, and in a photo shot of a Swedish designer's home was a gold framed mirror, leaning against a wall,with this hand written in black on the mirror: "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." I googled this and found that it is a quote attributed to Dr. Seuss. The old guy was deeper than I knew. I think that is what you and I do, after the passing of some time...smile.

At this stage of my life, I have a lot to smile about.

National Take Your Dog to Work Day

Scooter heard that today is National Take Your Dog to Work Day and is getting ready to go to work with Tall Husband.

Come on Mom and turn on the water! You know dogs don't have opposing thumbs...if we did, you would be going to work with me today.

I've Got to Button Up My Lip!

Do any of you have my bad habit...blathering without looking around to see who might hear? At 4:00 AM the other morning, I was standing on my front porch in my nightgown, waiting for my puppy Scooter to take care of business. "Don't you want to pee-pee for Mommy?" I pleaded. There was a sudden scurry on the public sidewalk next to my picket fence. I realized Scooter was not my only listener. A young man had thought I had a proposition for him, so he quickened his step to make his escape.
