Catchin Up

It’s catch up time.  This blog will be a little different.  I had gotten into the habit of writing something every day.  However, I haven’t done that for a while.  So, I will try to get caught up and start all over again.

It’s actually be a busy week.  I finished Renea’s napkin holder and it turned out really nice.  I have also made a few more ornaments.  Renea came over and we made my winter wall hanging.  I really do like it.  I have decided to make three more – one for each season.  Renea brought Lanora over so she could look at some of my ornaments and items I make with plastic canvas.  She has asked me to make her a napkin holder – one for every day use.  She picked out her colors now I have to decide on a design.  I still have a few things to make for Christmas.  Not necessarily ornaments but some other items.  I want to make a runner for my table and a chain for the tree.  I still have my pillows to make and a tree skirt.  Busy Busy Busy

We now have another puppy in the family.  Ryan got a dog from Animal Ark which is a no kill shelter in Columbus, GA.  She is adorable.  She is nine weeks old and is part black lab and sharpie.  She is going to be a big dog.  He brought her over to Kevin and Renea’s on Sunday when he came for supper.  Stephanie brought Copper.  Ryan’s dog’s name is Ashes because she is mostly black with a few sprinkles of brown.  Anyway she held her own with the “big” dogs.  Lola’s motherly instincts came out.  Her and ashes just stayed together.  Whatever Lola did Ashes tried to do EXCEPT for the swimming pool. Lola does not get into the swimming pool except at the steps to take a drink of water.  Ryan put Ashes in the water and she wasn’t at all afraid.  However, we knew she would go into the water on her own – we just knew it.  So, Ryan took off his shoes and socks so he could go in and get her just in case.  Well, she went to the other side of the pool, jumped in and swam across the pool.  She came out of there just as proud as could be.  In fact, she did it again.  No fear.  How awesome!  As soon as I get a decent picture of her, I will post it.

I have a couple of projects to do for Landmark Academy.  I am researching Pumpkin Patches.  They all seem to be at least an hour’s drive from here.  I am researching Petting Zoos, they also are at least an hour’s drive.  Most of them are included in regular zoos and expensive.  I am also going to set up a website as soon as I decide what service to use.  I want to use one that is free.  I have narrowed it down to four.

That’s about it.  I’m sure you don’t want to hear about me cleaning house and doing laundry.  I also did some yard work, but it got really hot and humid again.  I will be glad when fall arrives!
