So Carol over at She Lives tagged me for a meme about my dogs and made the comment that I would be like who is she and why is she tagging me. Are you kidding? Carol is the reason that I have been able to sleep until 7 a.m. for several mornings because after reading this post, she suggested a little trick called bribery. And y'all it works 90% of the time. To show my appreciation I will tell you Read More

A rose by any other name is just as sweet

Just for fun, Memes

Barb over at A Chelsea Morning is asking how people came up with the name of their blog. So here is my explanation.I started this blog back in July and when blogger asked for a name I sat and thought, and thought, and then thought some more.

She went right up and stood with the bridesmaids until it was time for her to come sit with me. She Read More
