Lil Bit and the mud puddle

Lili Bit is the short legged white puppy that I have. I believe that she has a tracking device that takes her straight from the back door to the mud puddle in the back yard. And tonight was no exception. She come in the house and ran straight to me. When she comes in the house she thinks that the first place she is suppose to run to is my arms. And tonight she was not taking no for an answer. Lil Bit decided that being I would not pick her up then she would jump on the love seat next to me, putting her muddy paws all over me. Yea, I had to shower again so I give her a bath in the kitchen sink and then I got back in the shower to get mud off of my arms. But would I give her up because of muddy paws....NO!!!!!! She is my lil' gitty monster and I love her!!!!!! She is such a wonderful puppy, mud and all!!!!!!!!

Missing loved ones especially this time of year

I miss so many people this time of year....
Papa Bill S.- he is the official taste tester of the dressing and most of the other food for family dinners...
Aunt Athell-my cooking buddy..we cooked everything for goodie baskets for friends and others that done the smalll things during the year for us..the pharmists, the vets office, the visiting nurses
My little Granny-I miss our Thursday dinners at 5 pm and the time that we shared...this was done every Thursday no matter if one was sick or not...for 5 years...I miss our Thursday's Lil' Granny. I miss you telling me that David loves you more than he loves me...I miss the smell of your hair..i miss so much about you...but I DO NOT MISS THE CANE WACKING MY SHIN.
Granny Floyd-I miss hearing your say...let them have the damn peppermint...it is not candy ..it is medicine...lol...she always said "peppermint is good for the throat and sinuses. I miss the peppermint...it is not the same without you here
Aunt Ollie Mae-the family cake decorator..she was the one that thought me how to make a flower out of buttercream. Teh violets, daisies, roses, cala lillies...any flower you can think of she thought me to make it...
Granny Brenice S.-I miss hearing you call David "darling". He was your world. You then had Bryan and Dalen and there was nothing like those 3 guys in your life.
Uncle James-I miss the conversations that we had. Everyday like clock work you called me at 7pm and we would talk for hours...the best conversation....fiberglass shovels...I pray that I never forget that conversation.
My Papa Floyd--I was young when you passed but I do remember Sunday's after Church you would pick all the kids up and you would take us to the store and we got out own bag of candy (tootsie rolls, waxed turtles, and a bottled Coke) and then we went to the part. I remember running down the drive to ride back home with you when you got off of work. I love you and miss you.
And Ricky...my dear brother...I put you last because I have to much to say about you..I miss our vacations...to the Great Smokey Mountains as children, then young adults and then as adults with our children. I miss us leaving work and going to Daytona Beach Fla. just to go. I miss cooking with you..grilling hamburgers and hot dogs at Mama and Daddy's..I miss watching wrestling at my house on Pay-per-view and both of us knowing okay "if it happened that way someone would not be walking". I miss fishing with you for trout in the moutains. I miss tubbing down the moutain with you. I miss fussing with you...about nothing...I miss seeing you at the red light in town at Burger King...(this is where he would yell me at me everyday..."HEY BABY SISTER") I still smell the roses...Thank you for that... Yea I miss that....I miss you....
I miss all of these people that have molded my life in one form or another. I miss hearing your voice...calling and talking...calling and crying on your shoulder...calling and asking for advice (even though I might not heed it at the time...I do now) I miss sharing the grandbabies with you...(Papa Bill and Granny Brenice..you would have loved Haley, Noah and Skylar.) I wish that you were here with me but you are all in a better place and it is wonderful to know that I have so many peeople looking down from Heaven on me... I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laughter

Today, as I walked into the back door at Mama's she was sitting at the kitchen table, laughing. Why I not a clue. She ask my "why in the world was I walking around with open toes sandels and a short sleeve shirt and no jacket on"? I told her I didn't know that it was cool outside. She went to laughing and told me "I guess that you will not go outside without your jacket on, huh"? I agreed with her. Daddy has a fireplace with a insert and blower on it so I had no idea that it was that cold outside. We do not get the weather that we are having this time of year until usually around February. We are usually wearing shorts this time of year but it was 37 degrees this morning and I think that it might have gotten to the upper 50's this afternoon. It was nice to be outside and smell the fireplaces burning the fresh oak wood. Makes me think of the winter vacation in the Smokey Mountains. Have a good weekend.....

Thanksgiving Day

Today is Thanksgiving and I wanted to share a few things that I am thankful for......
My parents...

My dogs (Dixie, DroopyD.,Lulu, Gabby, Ella, and Lil Bit aka Lil Gitty) who makes me happy to be home and appreciate the small things in life....
I thank you all for all that you do for me and for your love, patience and guidance when the way the path seems dark and lonely....
I love you all....
Happy Thanksgiving Day....

What to do?

We made it home last night. It was a long ride for Mama and understandly she was in pain. So I called her primary care physican and he told what needed to be done. Thanks for all the prayers. I have a delima that I would don't know what to do about? I really don't want to delete my blogsite but at this point I think that might be my only option. There is this "person" that lives in the same area that I live and she has decided that she "needs" to come to my blog and find out what is going on in my family. And trust me folks, she is the type of person that you could move half way around the world and she would still find a way to make your life a "living hell." I am dealing with Mama and her illness and I do not and will not deal with "this persons antics". I found out today "by means of a phone call" that she has been coming to my blogsite. I don't post on the AD site anymore because of JB and now I have to deal with "this person" on here. You can't win for losing....so my question is ...do I just delete the blogsite or come on here and not post what is going? Any input would be appreciated.....

What to do?

Please continue to keep her in your prayers so that this procedure will go great and that she will get be home for the Thanksgiving...Have a good day.....And thanks again everyone for the thougths and prayers...
