Scamp hated being crammed in a travel carrier



Scamp found a best friend waiting.

A truce was begrudgingly forged

soul searching

Hello all, have been on an extended visit with my son and his wife, feeling better and am looking forward to spring.  While visiting, i knitted,read and cooked, we walked our dogs and,as I sat in the hot tub sipping wine, taking inventory of my beloved friends and family, I was sending heartfelt prayers of thanks to the creator for putting these people in my life.  It has often been said, at the end of this journey, it wasn't the material things which mattered, it was the people, you may not take material wealth with you, but i'm certain, you may take love. <3

i haven't been blogging due to recent sad events. i will be up and at it as soon as my heart will let me.  Happy new year all, i am sending wishes to you (y'all) for happiness, prosperity, health, peace and tranquility in 2012.
