TEDDY IN THE TUB!!

Well last night I tried to soak my toes and do a mini-pedicure-Teddy, our Golden Retriever had other ideas!! Here I am soaking my toes in the whirlpool tub and Teddy hops in the tub, plunks his behind down and stares at me!! I gave up the idea of a pedi of course, and gave Teddy a bath. He looked marvelous when I got done and he definitely smelled better too! Just thought I'd share my funny story!!

Keep us in your Prayers

Well my husband found out yesterday that the 2 underwriters we underwrite for are pulling out of NC. That leaves us with one and they will probably cancel all agency agreements in NC too because of the economy. He'll look for another job, but at 54 that isn't easy these days and also because of the economy. We have faith that something will come our way but we are probably going to put the house on the market too. We will have to wait until Jenny and Kevin's wedding is done because it is all set up for our house. We might put it on the market now anyway with a closing date after the wedding, which is 8/30. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers-every little bit helps.

New books I'm reading

I'm going to start reading Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber tonight. This is the book I won from Lynne! Can't wait to dive into it!!




I just started listening to the audiobook on the way to work today and I'm really enjoying it! I love the narrators accent too!

Cash and Teddy Romping Around

Teddy and Cash romping around all over the Great Room, the Dining Room, the Kitchen-I'm sure you get the picture by now!! They just love romping and beating each other up, but they do it in such a nice way!!




This is the "Grand Dog, Cash" (a/k/a Teddy's friend and fellow holligan!)

A Walk Around my Garden

I was able to click this picture of Teddy on our screened porch. He loves it out there but of course, only if we are there with him! He loves people.




This is my beloved Heliotrope! I love the fragrance from this wonderful plant. It is sheer heaven!!




This is one of my Blue Hydrangeas that are blooming right now. Megan, our oldest daughter and her husband gave this to me 2 Mother's Day ago. I planted it in the ground and it keeps on coming back every year!

Everyone have a great day!!

Dress I bought for Jenny's Wedding

This is the dress I bought from Talbots for Jenny's Wedding in August. I might even make the nice long necklace the model is wearing. I love turquoise so the color is just perfect! The wedding will be at our home and outside so August in Charlotte is very hot and humid so this dress fits the bill. I'm so glad the reception will be inside!!

The birdhouse my Dad built for my Mom

I thought I would share a picture of the birdhouse that my Dad made for my Mom. Teddy also happened to be standing by it. My Dad has Lupus and this project gave him some therapy when he went back into remission from a bad Lupus attack he had. He also made another one for my Mom's high school friend. The high school friend actually had the plan and asked my Dad to build it for her. He is very proud of this birdhouse and the accomplishment and he should be! Way to go Dad!
