  3. tippysmom2 – I adopted a puppy in 2013 and it has been an adventure ever since. My Facebook friends love her stories, so thought I would share with others as well.

    We had our local Relay For Life event on Friday night. I am on the planning team for that, so that meant show up early and stay late. I got home at 2:15am Saturday morning. I’m getting too old to stay out that late. LOL We had a great event, with lots of fun entertainment and activities celebrating and remembering those who have or are battling cancer. So, Saturday, I spent relaxing and trying to catch up on my sleep.

        Thank you. I’m almost caught up, but did NOT want to get out of bed this morning. But, I think that was due to mowing for almost 3 hours yesterday. LOL

  4. My Golden Life – Upstate South Carolina – I love animals, especially dogs. I enjoy US history, and reading biographies of our former presidents and other historical figures. I love the music of the '60s and '70s since I was growing up in those decades. I love the Beatles and Andy Williams equally.

    It seemed the same way to us! It seems like every weekend goes by just a bit faster than the previous one. But that’s what happens when you’re retired.

  13. Wonderful weekend…removing bot fly larvae from dogs and sheep to the displeasure of all…except the dog called Napoleon who ate them all as they emerged….
    He might want more…the rest of us don`t.

    Too fast! But a fun weekend. Spent it with my family and new grandson! He’s six months now and is in that everything-is-exciting stage! He’s best buds with my one Husky, Wolf, although he loves them all and they adore him. Wolf was busy talking (wooing) to him, and he’d baby talk back to Wolf. So cute! Then I introduced him to the pool, letting him dip his little piggies in the water for the first time! Hope you had a great weekend!

  18. Thanks for that picture. That’s what I need as there will be quite a few things going on here this week, from “Bach at Luckenbach” [a Bach concert in the Willie-Nelson/Waylon-Jennings-famous Luckenbach/Texas] to an Indian Powwow here in Fredericksburg on the Marktplatz.
    Our weekend was quick, too. On Saturday I took my new camera and went to our “Antique Tractor & Machinery Show” and yesterday we were invited for dinner with friends. What I time we had – on both occasions!
    Enjoy your week,
    Pit

      1. Well, maybe it’ll really be lots of pics, considering that there will be more than just the Powwow [5 different “Indian” events] and considering that on Saturday on that one event only I already took 183 fotos. Oh my, thinking of that, with how many will I end up by next Sunday! 😉

  23. Brenda Miller – Broomfield, Colorado – I grew up in the volatile times of the 60’s and 70’s. Experiencing the assassination of our great leaders of reform, witnessing the craziness of Woodstock and burning bras, proud of the Supreme Courts decision on Roe versus Wade, and watching the horrors of the Vietnam War formed my views at an early age and have not wavered over the years. I have faced insurmountable challenges along the way. But life taught me to be brave and face my fears, moving forward no matter what. There was no challenge left undone, no heartbreak left unfelt, no chance I didn’t take. I refused to be defined by what others thought I should do or what other people were doing. I learned that you can either sit back and let life go screaming by, or jump in and make a change….left, right or barreling straight ahead. It’s your choice.
