She passed away from what appeared to be cancer similar to Ovarian cancer. She was a delightful little petite pup and charmed each one of us. She charmed her way into this kittens heart and he never left her but always protected her. She passed away Novemver 3, 2013 and that boy sat and howled as she was taken out of the house.

Harrison, Brody and Shea were up to something. It was Easter Brunch Day. Those little sweethearts/ A second grader, a soon to be first grader and a pre schooler in 2024. Oh My! I am crying happy tears. That numbers guy, B2 a/k/a/ Blake was no where to be found. Probably crunching numbers with his headphones on to block all the noisiness out. Brody trying to play Rebekah;s guitar. It was as tall as he was a ew years ago. Nowi is such a grown up version of himself. Oh my heart....Then my oldest girl Noelle. It has been a long hard journey for her since losing her other half Roger in 2022.

Tarrah , I know you won't believe me, she is momma to five little kids. Well...technically I suppose it is not true any longer. Jayden who is 12 passed me up a long while ago, he is so tall! Michael is also sprouting up like a tall corn stalk! When did those two grow up? Sweet Mollie peeking as she tries to catch a nap. She is "Nicky's girl". She waits for him to come & go from work. Follows him around like a little shadow. Shea with Mommy Jacey. Harrison, that boy will get you and capture your heart every time with that smile, that perfect hair and that twinkling wink in those baby blues. I am very H A P P Y and overjoyed</span>!</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My mom always said God was good to me.

He is a friend of Rebekah's going through a rough time. Prayer for Alisha and family during the loss of her dad. Prayers for Alex, also dealing with some hard stuff.

This kid....is something else. He yells at his bro, that was traveling, you know you can not travel! hahaha.....,my little partner is more interested in numbers than anything. What a pair those two are. We needed a nap before our trip to Casa Bonita which I talked about on my other blog.

This year has been in a hurry to leave. When does time slow down? I think God created it all to zip past us.

I know people with them and I admire their stories of the good, the bad and the hilarious too.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Remember to read your bible starting with one chapter of Luke each day from Dec 1 to Dec 24 .

She loved red and so does my sweet husband. Although the quilt square side is rust colored, it matches our bedroom decor for Autumn perfectly. But I see red in so many of the squares. My mother-in-law, a little farm girl was an amazing seamstress and sewed all of her own drapes and curtains too. What a gift, a beautiful legacy to keep us warm in the cold winter months. My sister-in-law Lucy is a gift giver. She always finds the best gifts she brings to us and her homemade banana bread is the best ever!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">On this date in 2009 Suzanne and Sue blogger friends sent me a beautiful quilt made of teacups that Suzanne created. Sue had the long arm to finish the quilting process so I was truly blessed by their love and will cherish it forever. We had finished the Memory Quilt project for the precious three year old Shannon who passed away from a rare brain cancer in 2009. Over 200 bloggers sent squares to Suzanne to create the quilt. Some bloggers told me not to do it. Not to invade the privacy of the little girl's loved ones. I prayed about it and God gave me the go ahead.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">At first the phamily did not want to accept our gift but as Suzanne was packing the quilt up she received a message from the aunt who said the parents decided they wanted the quilt as a memory quilt for Shannon. We were so happy ! Joyful and so grateful to send this gift off to them. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">You do not even know the stories each quilt square held and the memories it gave to those who created each square. I am so grateful to every single person who participated. It was a very emotional time for all of us and banding together helped each person heal from their own sadness as well bring a bit of sunshine to a phamily so grieved by their child's loss. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I will be forever grateful to my friend Dr. T, Kozue Tyler who told me Shannon's story. I will always love Suzanne and Sue for working so tirelessly to create this one of a kind gift. I hold each person who sent a square in my heart forever and always. It was a great joy to give something so valuable for the phamily to have in remembrance of their lost child. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">14years later I feel like I did the day we started on that quilt journey. What memories. I had posted about it but with my lack of tech skills, I am not sure how to find my post and share it again. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I wish I had listened to<a href="http://missednasplace.blogspot.com" target="_blank"> Edna </a> who created a new blog book for herself and her loved ones each year. Then I would have those 2009 October posts to reshare. I have lost so many dear friends and Edna is one of them. She passed away this year along with my friends Jean (Texas) and Maria (Denver). It is so hard to lose friendships and people you meshed with. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzw75QoZttwf-QeBD87XwN00CDoE-ilI8eB84S-k9N1IyezhdiFTQz6ekoDJpW2jos9Snnk6QYR535EzBBn-2r-vriDsoj6v4tQs0ezcR4nPedv0xFb09Aa3uJz2ziVpkhnu8XA0ybyfZfGiO84432gtQLvXI1h8gM1UOB2vwj1ZEBKNnlvXYfHJbiblV/s573/love%20is...%20oh%20those%20memories.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="573" data-original-width="300" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdzw75QoZttwf-QeBD87XwN00CDoE-ilI8eB84S-k9N1IyezhdiFTQz6ekoDJpW2jos9Snnk6QYR535EzBBn-2r-vriDsoj6v4tQs0ezcR4nPedv0xFb09Aa3uJz2ziVpkhnu8XA0ybyfZfGiO84432gtQLvXI1h8gM1UOB2vwj1ZEBKNnlvXYfHJbiblV/w210-h400/love%20is...%20oh%20those%20memories.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Oh the memories. love is... is always here for me. </span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Finally some beautiful words from Susan,. a hometown friend who shared these words with me.

When I watched my great grandson Harrison James for the first two years of his life, Leo was, a very gentle giant. Now he had some motives too. He loved to lick this boys face! He never tried to steal his breakfast food but he licked that little face clean! As a boy, Harrison thought it was hilarious. Leo was a connoisseur of yogurt, vanilla, fruit flavored with some pulp, he loved it all! Harrison was glad to oblige him. They had a nice boy and a dog bond. Later he would try to lick Shea's face, Harrison's little sister! She would say No Leo, don't lick my face! The girl is 100 percent pure little chick! She is a fashionista, a diva, and dogs licking her face, well, that was not a good idea. Yet she loved Leo and always liked to open the back door so he could run in his kingdom, the backyard. Our lot is 7,480 feet and when he first came to live with us, Leo looked over the massive backyard and looked up as if to say, is this all mine? Of course it was! Leo was king of his yard! His friend Duke, a black lab stood at the fence this morning. He was barking, I am sure looking for his pal. They would rub noses at the fence and then lift their leg to each other. A sort of manly dog celebration!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMWUZCEh3PfFSIux3M6E9LoOQ2NGcQ1H2yHAe7uzivRe_S4xQR2d0m4oPAjKDSSKOxJ-O0C-4RHBx1uSO0dfu4UDA4ocVe6EGFQv9FXNkIsJG1n3KakqIHqDL-09qp-7qxOD24hxq7739opUeZmh5Voq8frys31rhBAtz3VyJ65_i-CXKtU08n-k3OzTlX/s3072/My%20Lilo%2009%2023%2023.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="3072" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMWUZCEh3PfFSIux3M6E9LoOQ2NGcQ1H2yHAe7uzivRe_S4xQR2d0m4oPAjKDSSKOxJ-O0C-4RHBx1uSO0dfu4UDA4ocVe6EGFQv9FXNkIsJG1n3KakqIHqDL-09qp-7qxOD24hxq7739opUeZmh5Voq8frys31rhBAtz3VyJ65_i-CXKtU08n-k3OzTlX/w400-h408/My%20Lilo%2009%2023%2023.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I am very sad for Duke, just as I am sad for all of us. Most mornings, I would wake up and Leo was lying outside our bedroom door. He was not a loner by any means. When he first came to live with us, he tore up two decorative pillows we had purchased with our new living room set! He was very angry that we dared to go out and leave him home alone. That was before the other pups came to live here. He was a people person and I am going to miss stepping over him so he could rise and I would open that back door for him. He loved the great outdoors. He chased the wild rabbits, he barked at the squirrels and birds. Then he found companionship in three little pups, Loki, Thor and Lulu. On a whim, we stepped inside a puppy place. Rebekah and Zach fell in love with Loki and Thor and since they were brothers they went home with them. I was sad but the lady said her friend was dropping off a single pup. Same breeder but different litter. My girl Lulu with her mom Lil Lupe and dad Duffy! My little chihuahua girl with an Irish father and a mother with roots from Chihuahua, Mexico . Oh how Leo loved them! He became the guardian and protector of the pups and their yard! He kept them close at hand and if one wandered back by the fence he would go inside, turn around and go collect them. They loved him and loved running and barking alongside of him. As the years went by if the kids, who worked from home, were busy and I had errands to run, I turned on Tom and Jerry on the Cartoon Network. Although Leo had his puppy entourage, he liked to lie down on the living room carpet while Finn, Lulu's baby boy, kissed him and loved on him while they listened to the antics of Tom and Jerry.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Qk8z5D3bJAKgtLBb5H86kVPZlrDRqzX2A0S7ymBpSkrgdE-VoEX7ScKvBMywlwHWbAKdfzrAB9XMTcgTc_VevLQYCeZtkVsHZ7-ts4n_YEXt3Du8Qoo8KKoSGoceIXaWqCyCLJqFtFOebJs9G9WadW_amFKBsbLon0Ggn2TyKeAOumBNA9eU2Qqh4KKl/s3072/Leo%20at%20Christmas.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="3072" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Qk8z5D3bJAKgtLBb5H86kVPZlrDRqzX2A0S7ymBpSkrgdE-VoEX7ScKvBMywlwHWbAKdfzrAB9XMTcgTc_VevLQYCeZtkVsHZ7-ts4n_YEXt3Du8Qoo8KKoSGoceIXaWqCyCLJqFtFOebJs9G9WadW_amFKBsbLon0Ggn2TyKeAOumBNA9eU2Qqh4KKl/w400-h400/Leo%20at%20Christmas.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This boy, my Lilo, he loved the holidays with all the excitement.

One weekend we had to work purging old files and we stopped for lunch. One of the gals drove and when we came back the maintenance guy was out front. This huge tree fell while we were at lunch. It would have crushed Theresa's car! We found out that it was planted about 20 years earlier and whoever the genius was that planted it never cut the roots loose to grow into the ground and help the tree to have great strength. Those roots were still tightly wrapped in burlap and after a hard wind and rain it just toppled over. </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtqDBOXeMfBxN09jCTBGE1bt4k3ogIENQAl73lv10aJgfCvs6mJJijQERkaqois7_EMfFpF1grRDArho0UlVenMjupFnY6lbVbZTW6c2QKubNaisJJFhW-7GQUXT2Oawbd8Fcb8CE5x8Srptco-5KcgmvENDG-gO8-R9zNI8BbOpooGR-xm1aI26OkqcQc/s3072/Bees%20and%20the%20eclipse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="3072" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtqDBOXeMfBxN09jCTBGE1bt4k3ogIENQAl73lv10aJgfCvs6mJJijQERkaqois7_EMfFpF1grRDArho0UlVenMjupFnY6lbVbZTW6c2QKubNaisJJFhW-7GQUXT2Oawbd8Fcb8CE5x8Srptco-5KcgmvENDG-gO8-R9zNI8BbOpooGR-xm1aI26OkqcQc/w400-h400/Bees%20and%20the%20eclipse.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Goodnight and sweet dreams. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>Annesphamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09355786666073982088noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-44063374689385410472023-09-08T22:56:00.005-06:002023-09-08T23:06:36.063-06:00Feline Friday and Pink Saturday<p> <a href="http://messymimismeanderings.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">FELINE FRIDAY</span></a>]</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVNla6HzYe935c3SNlf4jn1yiinb_cmmifw1UUCuR2dL7WoySVhDqqzUe3Oqlh-OUr2UyThFVAdB9sM-YKZRfembJSi-vQ3LEUhrJgojzwDg1MfzLsnuu68ngyCy72Bcu0noWM0SdsHE-kaXwzeuqLDRkg1IghkJRZdAAouwONfGPD_q4kh1GtbfucZ_m/s564/Mom%20and%20Kitten.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="564" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVNla6HzYe935c3SNlf4jn1yiinb_cmmifw1UUCuR2dL7WoySVhDqqzUe3Oqlh-OUr2UyThFVAdB9sM-YKZRfembJSi-vQ3LEUhrJgojzwDg1MfzLsnuu68ngyCy72Bcu0noWM0SdsHE-kaXwzeuqLDRkg1IghkJRZdAAouwONfGPD_q4kh1GtbfucZ_m/w400-h400/Mom%20and%20Kitten.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This Pinterest find momma cat and her baby kitten.

Today was a thankful filled day. The day started off with Colton, Jacey and Shea stopping by. Although they lost their pup Atlas to a car accident the kids were sad and felt they needed a pup to fill their sadness. So when they went to pick up puppy they ended up with two. Chester was delighted as he is the phamily elder. He is a yellow lab and he is a teddy bear. The first time we met him, he jumped up on our bed cozied up to Avery's pillow and when Avery said, Chester, what do you think your doing? Chester gave him a look that said, dude, I am comfy, I need a nap. Running around with Leo and those pups made me tired! So although Chester was unhappy, looking for his pal Atlas, he welcomed Applejack and her sister Trixie to the phamily. Seeing the little one happy (because her brother was at school) because of the puppies and seeing the relief of sadness slip away for a bit with Colton and Jacey. They have had enough sadness to last the entire world of people. They deserve a break and a ray of sunshine fell on them today.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thankful that they stopped by this evening and although our Mollie, all three lbs. of her grumbles and growls, the other pups. including Leo wanted to get a peek at those pups!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Harrison was starving, I swear that child has a hole in his belly where food goes in and falls out into thin air! So since he claims I make the best PB&J ever I created one for him which he was devouring as they had to head out the door. Meanwhile Shea is chatting, brush my teeth, brush my teeth and I have to get the step stool and her new favorite toothbrush that is purple and has princesses on it. She gets so happy when I put her special kid toothpaste on her brush. It is blue and it sparkles. How can you not be thankful for that?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Although I did not get any photos as Shea needed a slice of toast and a slice of cheese please! I was thankful that they visit often and love around the block and they make life happier. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thankful that Hannah face timed and caught me up on what has been going on this week. I think she is going to have a baby with a headful of red hair like her daddy. Hannah has some awful heartburn! So thankful her her, for Jake, for Franklin and baby boy. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I am thankful my little sweetheart Blake told me he was sad I missed his birthday dinner. He L O V E S school and today was picture day! Oh handsomest four year old boy in the whole land!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Brody who has a million dollar smile and the sweetest poses for his pics is such a little gem. He is a mini Jeremy and Nick all rolled together as he is a sports nuts and knows things that most five year old kids don't. He can carry on a conversation like an adult and makes me smile because he has a special friend, a girl, who attends a different school but they are the cutest together, like first love. Plus he can tell you the latest on most any sport that he follows. Thankful for all these memories.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I learned from my mom, so thankful for her, that phamily is the best in this world. She always told me God gave me a good husband and healthy children and I should never complain. If heaven had a window I would peek inside and show her these grands and greats and see her smile. She was a love bug to her grands</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Finally thankful I spent most of yesterday with my sister-in-law Cheri. We had lunch and five hours later, hahaha, left the restaurant. They were so nice to us. We sat in the bar area and it was not as busy as the main dining rooms so they kept refilling our water glasses and letting us laugh and chat. More memories and treasured loved ones.</span></p><p>THANKFUL!</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>It isn't what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful, but what you have in your heart.

We had great plans to work in our garage this weekend. Unfortunately with most of us under the weather it was not to happen. So we did little clean ups instead and have a bag to take to the thrift store donations. I am happy the new week is here and I am going to be able to have lunch with my sister-in-law Cheri. Then I will be working around the house on small projects. Organizing is easy once you get the hang of it.
