BLOGAVERSARY GIVEAWAY/BLUE MONDAY/ AW...MONDAY/LOVE IS.../

So much happening in my life that I let my blogaversary slip my mind. I am celebrating six years of wonderful blogging with all of you, the best friends a girl could have. I am going to do a giveaway. So I hope you will like surprises! All I ask is that you leave a comment. I am going to let the giveaway run from today, Sunday, November 8, 2015 to  Sunday November 29, 2016 and it will give you lots of opportunity to visit and leave your comments so you will have more chances to be the big winner! All I ask is that you leave a comment when you visit. I am an old fashioned girl and I will draw a winner the old fashion way by letting my hubby draw the winner on Sunday November 29th.

You might receive one item or two or even three. Who knows! I will let you keep guessing. Enjoy the surprise! Kind of like a little holiday cheer before Christmas comes our way.

A good friend of mine Barb encouraged me to blog when Rebekah's little dog Tinkerbell got ill and was diagnosed with liver cancer. Although she passed away in May 2010 I was overwhelmed bythe kind folks I met. I was taken by the friendships I made and enjoyed the "journey or journal as some would say. Many bloggers tells me they consider this their journal and even turn their blog pages into a blog book so they will have a wonderful memory of this to share with their phamilies. I now have encouraged Barb to keep blogging and get back into it. She has had lots of phamily issues and health problems so she really got away from her blog. Her blog is so sweet and the title so clever so I imagine you have already guessed that she loves her pets! I f you know Barb here or at Face Book (Barbara Shobe Boyack) encourage her to get back into blogging.

I enjoy some social media sites. I often spend too much time pinning at pinterest when I remember clearly saying that I would never get involved in such a silly project! I like FaceBook because I can visit with phamily and friends who are far away but I dislike the meanness over politics
 and other unpleasant topics. A wonderful blogger  Theresa that shares her beautiful blog with many wonderful photos of her beautiful ranch in Texas has told me that she avoids social media because it is cutting and cruel and I must admit it can be just that!

I wanted to share a little sweet blue for Sally and share these beautiful photos of Jeremy, Brittany and Addy.

Smokey likes to be in charge of things and he has a lot of competition with Leo these days. Leo is two and Smokey is eight so Leo has a tad more energy than Smokey. The lower photo is Smokey in 2012 and he was not so snowy white around his face. Today, the upper photo he is a little older and whiter and wiser! He still loves to chill out. He is leading the pack with Leo, Stella and Bandit.  I hope you stop by and visit Sandee and everyone at Aw....Monday.

I love Love is...and this one reminded me of Smokey just a bit. He and Stella are both 8 while Bandit is 14. Love really does grow through the years.
