Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. A day to celebrate all that we are thankful for. Our pilgrims celebrated the day because they were thankful for a bountiful harvest and surviving many obstacles. They chose to change their destiny which has changed ours. As I sit down to eat our bountiful harvest, I will be thankful for our freedom, family, and a life of endless opportunities. I will also be thankful for Laney. She has brought an enormous amount of love and happiness to my life. I hope that she feels the same. So tomorrow as you give thanks, I hope you remember to give thanks to our four legged friends. Happy Thanksgiving Laney!!!

Loving Winter

Laney and I have been trying to prepare for a fun winter. Last winter we were fortunate enough to spend winter in a warm climate with palm trees, beautiful flowers and lots of sunshine. No, we didn't dream that it really happened. But, this winter we will be spending the season in a cold, snowy, and blustery windy climate. So, I have hung up a colorful plaque that says welcome winter, and made a list of how to live with winter and be happy!
1. Bundle up and use foot and hand warmers
2. Have fresh flowers in the house
3. Curl up by the fireplace
4. Go for hike at the park
5. Ice Skate
6. Take Laney for a walk
7. Have friends over for game night
8. Go dancing
9. Put boots on Laney to protect her paws and make cleanup easier for us
10.Let someone else shovel the snow!
11.Say every day winter is fun and wonderful
12 Drink hot chocolate
13.Never loose sight that spring is coming
