A Girl & Her Dog

I haven't posted about Kristen lately so this is a good one. We had a pet show at Fairview on the 4th and Kristen brought Prissy to enter her. Prissy was decked out in her pink party dress and matching leash. What more could a dog want to be styled to the T and with matching accessories. Well when asked what Prissy liked to do Kristen said, "She likes to shop" now what girl dog doesn't. I loved it. Kristen told me she was going to buy Prissy some new shoes with the money she won. She said that she needed some flip flops for the river.

Favorite Photograph

This week, on TUESDAY, 7/7/09, the theme is A FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPH. Post up one of your favorite photographs and a caption that tells the audience about it.



This picture was made a couple years ago at Kesey Ford one of our favorite summer hang outs. I snapped this just as we were getting ready to leave. I think they were looking at something on the bank. This picture sums up my life. The peace and tranquility at the river is my favorite place.

Happy 4th and Other Stuff

Well I will start off by saying Melissa is home and on her way to recovery. We got out yesterday and went to Haston's, but that was it she gets tired easy. She is still sore and just kinda lays around. I did her nail and toenail yesterday in the July 4th theme.

She has gotten so many card that it is unbelievable. She loves to get the mail when it comes. I had to look through all of them yesterday and she can tell you by looking at the front who each one is from. I think she got a couple new ones yesterday.

Now, I hope that everyone has a great July 4th this weekend. Maybe when all the excitement is over I will be able to post daily. We will celebrate at Fairview tomorrow. If you don't have anywhere to go come join us for games and good time.

For the Flag raising ceremonies Lauren Rubley will be singing the National Anthem. She won second place in TN got Talent. She is a very sweet girl and has a wonderful voice. Please be safe if you are traveling and have a great time.

Last but not least, Heather @ Life with Heather will be celebrating her 21st Birthday on Sunday. Yeah, Heather! Oh, to be 21 again, NOT!!! Have a great Birthday Girl.....

Memories

Every summer this beautiful flower blooms and I think of my sweet little Lexi and her mom. Lexi gave me this the year that she was in my class. My that seem to be so many year ago. These are the happy things that I can look back on and remember who gave them to me. I have many items from former students that I often see around the house and each one makes me smile when I need a little lift. It just goes to show that the simplest things can make a person smile.

Thanks for the smiles to all!

Up & About & Coming Home Soon!!!

I just talked to mom and she and sissy had been out and about. She went out to the Teen Room and then wanted to go down stairs and got a lemonade. They went outside and strolled around the hospital to get some fresh air. They are saying that she may get to come home tomorrow. Yeah!!! Thank you so much for all your calls and comments for her speedy recovery.


We can't wait until she gets home. I know little Sophie will be so glad to see her. When she stayed with me she knew that something was not right. They may be dogs, but they act like humans.
