January 27th 2014 Senior Dog needs home, Bird watching

January 27th 2014

a nice saying to start off the day!

Help us find a home for Charley!!
Charley – female yellow lab. Will be 13 in March.
Good temperament. Loves people and children.
she comes from a family with kids,
but mom and family dealing with
a serious illness and long recovery.
They are trying to find the best place for the Charley.
PLEASE SHARE!

We thought we had a lead on a home for Charley
but nothing definite yet. Can you or someone
you know give Charley a home??
Please share her picture & ask around.
Thanks.

except to walk the dogs, of course!

of her nest box –

after checking with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology,
it was determined to be a Downy Woodpecker

Everything in life is temporary.

If things are good right now, enjoy it. It won’t last forever.

If things are bad, don’t worry

because it won’t last forever either.

Just because life isn’t easy at the moment,

doesn’t mean you can’t laugh.

Every moment gives you a new beginning and a new ending.

You get a second chance, every second.

You just have to take it and make the best of it.

What’s meant to be will eventually, BE.

True strength comes when you have so much to cry and complain about,

but you prefer to smile and appreciate your life instead.

There are blessings hidden in every struggle you face, but you have to be willing to open your heart and mind to see them.

You can’t force things to happen.

you have to let go and let what’s meant to be, BE.

Wednesday 1/22/14 day after SNOW storm, dr’s, Fran caterer, To-Yo, beer,

Wednesday 1/22/14

the day AFTER a snowstorm is always interesting….
lots of shoveling & SNOW on the garaged Leopard Mobile.
HOW did THAT happen??

one of our not so considerate neighbors shoveled all
his snow into the alley way that had already been plowed.
We don’t all have trucks that can drive though it!
Lucky me I got more exercise shoveling it from the
alley way. So it all worked out!
