Happy 18th bday to Leslie!

 

I love my silly Girlies...

that you didn't do than by the ones you did do...
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

In Fact....

As I was looking through these recent photos of Leslie and Grant just a few minutes ago...I came upon one like I've already posted below...(see below)...and yet, in THIS photo....you can see Cowboy sitting very much alone in the background.....isn't that precious??? It's like he KNOWS he wasn't invited to participate in the Grant-Fest. Funny that i found this tonight. Again...."GOOD DOG COWBOY!"

Ode to Cowboy...Faithful Dog O' the Manor...

no, he's not deceased...I was just thinking about little Cowboy and how he's still faithful despite the new addition here of our Grandson Grant. You can tell Cowboy has that look on his face - like he's thinking - "Who is this...and can we send him back?" Despite his obvious reluctance to "bond" with Grant, you can tell he's mildly interested in him and more than anything...he's willing to just take the backseat as the most important Small Being in our household. Good Dog. Let's all take a moment and give a hearty shout "Good Dog Cowboy!" 

Teaching Sean the fine art of child care....

All men should learn, right? I know you all agree. He loves his little nephew. Good times! 

Leslie and Baby Grant

 

Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers
to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons
in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.

~Sarah Ban Breathnach

like i mentioned below...i have this obsession with poppies lately....

 

I'm way into poppies lately for some reason....
