Thoroughly Darlin' Millie

 

Hello, dear friends.  I know that most of you have heard that we have a sweet new addition to our family, Millie. I wanted to take the time to tell you her story as well as answer some questions of the canine variety that you have asked.

At the beginning of the Summer, I noticed that one side of Chili's tummy looked swollen and she seemed to be in some pain.  After blood work and many tests, my Vet called me early on a sunny Saturday morning to tell me that my sweet little diva had liver disease and there was not a lot that they could do for her.

Reading, Watching, and Listening

Hello, dear friends.  Are you ready for the weekend?  I am.  For the past few Fridays, the Mister has thrown together some apps for a little happy hour out on our patio.  Instead of watching the news, we sit down with a glass of vino and actually talk and catch up.  After the minute-and-a-half of listening to a recap of his week, I then hand over his ten-page honey-do list. 

 

Have you ever had these?

They are positively sinful!

A Good Old Hodgepodge

Hello, dear friends.  How is your week so far?  I worry about my friends in Houston.  We lived in The Woodlands during a couple of those storms, and it was no fun.

It's great to be back in the Hodgepodge seat!  If you are new here, my friend, Joyce, at the helm of From This Side of the Pond, comes up with creative questions and bloggers answer them. Play along with me and leave your answers in the comments below.

My Summer in the Rearview

 Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you had a good week.  Mine was fairly quiet.  I am in the process of sharpening my blogging skills which have dulled over the Summer months.  I tell you this because I had to write this particular paragraph over again.  I was typing away and felt delighted with the fact that the thoughts, as well as the words, flowed. After I finished, I read it and could not decipher one word.  Evidently, I had my fingers on the keyboard one letter off. 

Anywho, this is the lowdown on my Summer.

 

Our Summer was filled with many highs and a couple of lows.  Our darkest moments were when we lost our beloved Chili. 

Prime Time - PS I'm Back!!

 

Hello, dear friends.  I hope that this post finds you well.  I am happy to report that the Mister and I are a lot more settled in our nest than we were when I left you.  My hope is to have a home tour hot-off- the-press by the end of the month.  We are still waiting on some of the furniture. But I will share the details about that at a later date.
