Charlie Bear

Just read the sweetest book ever about a couple who took and adopted this puppy who had issues and they called him "Charlie Bear." Here is a picture of this funny and sweet puppy that they wouldn't give up on. If you love dogs or cats you will absolutely love this story! I been into r eading lately if i see a book that grabs my attention and certainly this is one of them. I cryed way too much but I loved how this mama peep loved her first dog Rex and how he left a hole in her heart and how Charlie Bear actually bonded with her husband. Even still she has had a soft place in her heart for this rescue dog. Enjoy!

A very special gift

I cannot believe the wonderful gift that Joey and I received from Dawn and Justin. They gave us their 2011 KIA. Who does that?? We are forever thankful!! I wonder if Donna perhaps said Joe and Dottie's old Camry had had it. Guess will never know. Justin got himself a new electric car. And Dawn had an electri car already and even gave her mom her older KIA. I thought should we except but true our old Camry had seen its day. We can never ever thank these two enough EVER EVER!!div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Make Your Bed/ best book ever

Oh how I loved this book by a navy seal. You will love it too. It teaches how we can overcome almost anything but the first thing you must do is to "Make Your Bed"  every morning!  It was expected and was the first task of the day for the navy seal guys! Doing it right was important cause it demonstrated discipline. At the end of the day it would be a reminder that I had done one thing well, something to be proud of, no matter how small the task or what the day brings... ........MAKE YOUR BED!!! 
 OH HOW I LOVED READING THIS BOOK!

Don't miss this one folks

Donna was trying to make supper for dad years ago when we were kids and she was making gravy. Lillie came into the house and ask what she was doing and Donna said making gravy for supper. Donna eyes were watering and then Lillie said where did you get the flour? Right there off the shelf. She showed the can and Lillie knew right then it was lye. OH My Gosh! she said Donna that is lye!!!!!! Where did you get this? Off the shelf  she said. You could have killed us all.....We laugh about it now but WOW that could have had a terrible ending if Lillie hadn't came into the kitchen at that time.  Have to say us kids loved Lillie, Roscoe's first wife, she looked after us and took us places.  She made mistakes  and that made us sad that they had to part ways.....but glad Donna shared this story with us.  Just another crazy story from who else but Donna.😮

Leslie wins a crazy sweater entry.

Vacation in California

Been out in Ca.to visit girls and grandchildren .I went to help Leslie out till she could get a person to come and help with her girls. Have to say the cold weather really effected me. Coming from Florida the Sunshine state, well I am used to hot climate!!! My body doesn't do well if temp. drops below 70. It really chilled me to the bones!!!! For most part it was overcast and chilly. Thank goodness Leslie had a small heater and a heating pad which litterly saved me! ha! Feel sad for Leslie cause her X's don't make it easy for her and the trials have taken their toll on her but music seems to get her through the day. I stayed with her till day after Christmas and then headed over to visit Angie. On this whole trip my hair was static, lips chapped and I thought this was not a good season for me to have visited in Ca. Nice to see all the grandkids...Leslie's boys Soran and Ander get to visit twice a month and girls come four to three days a week and every other weekend. then back to Rob. It is what it is and for sure makes it tough at times. holidays for sure. While at Leslie's the girls have a kitten who they adoped named Petri and I have to say I spoiled him!!! Even with it being chilly it really was nice to see both families and Leslie is doing such a good job with her kids and only wish the guys could see and be kind and respect their children's mother. Angie and her crew were getting ready for a trip to Mexico so I was there three days. Her boys are growing up fast and Finn even drives, wow!! Will add pictures here soon.
