Thankful Tuesday and Tuesday Show and Tail

Thankful Tuesday  I wake up each day and find something to be grateful for. It is easy once you start thinking abut it.

My girl Lulu looking slim and trim after having her two puppies. We took her to get spayed and they told us her blood vessels were too small so we asked the doctors at CSU Veterinary Clinic. They said they never heard of such a thing. We will get a formal second opinion from them. she's a sassy one for my version of Tuesday Show and Tails

She's a wild and crazy girl but when she is tired she will snuggle. Her little girl Molly is just like her but brother Finn, He's another story. I will share their photos next time.

Andy Rooney was a pretty smart guy.

Tuesday Show and Tail and More

I thought this was perfect for Tuesday Show and Tail and Happy Tuesday. I am not sure who dreams up these meme's but this is true genius!

Oh Maxine, you slay me!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

My brother Ed had this 1964 Chevy Impala, two door, 327 engine! It was handed down to me and later, my dad worked up a deal with my cousin Mike B. He shared this cool photo with me. Check out those white wall tires. They sure don;t make cars like this anymore.

Always remembering to share my love of the Scriptures.

The moon was moving into the deep blue skies tonight. I Use to take photos every single day of the sunrise and sunset. I need to start doing that again.

TUESDAY

I am celebrating Happy Tuesday  I am also celebrating one of my most favorite people on earth! Her name is Amanda Campbell-Wheeler. She is mom to five beautiful kiddos that she home schools. She shared this with me and I am sharing it too. I was not fortunate to home school our children but Amanda is blessed. She has one daughter and four sons. They are bright, funny, articulate and they love Jesus! Her twins are David and James.  David wants to be a farmer. He is constantly planting seeds. It is so fun to watch her children grow and remember those days, long ago with my own brood.

A little humor for my edition of Tuesday Show and Tail A classic Eagles song set to a goat in an Old Ford truck. Our son Jeremy is obsessed with goats.  As an infant. my Uncle Louie use to share the fact that his younger brother Tony was not thriving and my grandmother started to give him goat's milk. I love the memory my uncle shared.

Uncle Louie with his father.

Oh Maxine! Today I can relate to you!

Diet humor!

Laundry humor.

Rest well my friends and see you tomorrow, God willing..

Thankful Thursday: Some Loves in My Life

So it is Thankful Thursday and I have a confession to make! First of all, here is Stella, the contontionist, she insists on fitting inside this tiny dog bed. It was purchased for Bandit and the cats along with another similar one. Stella's face is priceless!

Leo is thinking, I know I should get off the couch, but....he is the reason for my confession. We were having a great day on Tuesday, it was snowing like crazy and it was super cold. But Leo decided to fit himself through the gap in the driveway gate and voila he was on an adventure! I knew my son-in-law Roger was home so I called him first. He said he had not seen Leo but since Markus rents the basement from Roger and Noelle he came over and started to search for Leo first on foot then in his SUV. The snow was so deep and it was windy and cold and I barely got halfway up my street asking our mail carrier if she saw him. God bless her, she said she had not seen Leo but if she did she would come back and tell me. I warned her, he is huge, but friendly. I was so mad at Leo that I took it out on the other animals and yelled at them and told them they all need to learn some manners! Finally Leo showed up at the front door and Markus came a few minutes later.

Stella knows Mr. Bandito is getting up there in years and his sight is shot. But his hearing and smell senses are still 100 percent! She is cuddling with her brother.

Smokey is showing you how I felt that day, life, it gets in your way! Thankful for all these precious furry friends I have gathered round me each day.

* if you click on the photos they will enlarge. I am not a photography expert but I think as a general rule this will enlarge somewhat. Thank you.

Missing Fun Meme's

Do you remember doing Alphabe Thursday with Ms. Jenny? My goodness, it was just yesterday, if I recall. She had stuck by the AT bunch for a long while and needed a break. I was sad but I thought I know somehow she will be back! Thank goodness Mr. Jenny told her to try something new.  She now hosts Warm Heart Wednesday. Jenny has always been good at organizing and then participating in these fun meme's, But her health took a detour and it was hard to keep up. She did a great job and I miss it so I may do a little potpourri of old meme's for your reading enjoyment. Next there was Thankful Thursday, and although I am not certain who hosted this one, Sandee stills does this because she likes be thankful! I will share here too. Finally Angela, who no longer blogs for lots of busy things going on in her life, including celebrating four years since she discovered she had breast cancer!  She is currently cancer free! She hosted Tuesday Show and Tails and everyone shared their pets and other precious animals each Tuesday. I hope you will join me and perhaps share some of your favorite meme's too.

Before I share my favorite things here, I wanted to mention, occasionally someone posts here at the blog or at social media that we should not use google images because people are suing and people who use those private images are paying lots of money. I say ridiculous. I never use anyone else's work without telling everyone who it belongs to. But if it is on google why not sue them? They probably have more money than the rest of us? ! I think it is foolish and simply another waste of the judicial systems time. I once found a cute google image of a crocheted tea cozy cover. A lady came over and told me her neighbor who was quite elderly use to make those and that cozy was one her friend made. We exchanged pleasant conversation but no lawsuits were filed. Thanks goodness! I guess I need to call my friend  Cat and have her make that watermark we talked about so I can at least see my photos with my blog name on them. She designed my blog header for me with photos that are my mom and her older cousin Hedwig.  We incorporated a few of my favorite things. Thanks Cat, you are such a superb talent.

Mary D use to have a wonderful blog and do a weekly Love is....I have a book filled with these cartoon treats as well as a pinterest page filled with lots of them. The late Kim Casali created these fun cartoon characters and Love is...By the way, at pinterest, if someone does not want you to have their image/photo etc. pinterest tells you that they had to take it down. Easy peasy. No hassles and certainly no lawsuits! Whewwwwww......I use to cut these from the newspaper each day and glue them on to scraps of construction paper. Somewhere in storage here, my hubby has all those! Remember the Rubik's Cube?  Do you think sometimes love is like one?

I miss Mary in Queens, NY. She use to host Maxine on Saturday's! Oh goodness, Maxine is a real pistol! She is very outspoken and I love her and you know, the creator of Maxine is actually a gentleman! Life got in Mary's way too. She was a college professor and I really had fun visiting these each week. I dedicated a board on pinterest to Maxine too. If you follow me there, you will see many Maxine quips! John Wagner is the brains behind Maxine and her creativity.

I suppose you noted my apples at the top of this post. I took that photo when my lil great grandson Jayden was here. He asked me if he could please have an apple. As I was washing the apple he said, "Grammie, please don't take the peel off. Then I won't know if it is a red or green apple, and Grammie, I only like the green apples!" Some of the best conversations I have are with that small boy. This photo is Jayden's "Say Cheese" face. He was entertaining my tiny Cabbage Patch baby named Sierra Miranda. So I think you know that "A" is for that bowl of Apples. I miss Alphabe Thursday too. I did add some pink so stop by the Pink Saturday Pinkies too! I bet you will see other pinks here today!

This tiny sad face is Michael, Jayden's little brother. He loves Grandpa Roger but his teeth were giving him a bit of trouble, so he was a little sad. I am thankful for these boys and their sweet faces. Grateful that they are related to me. Thank you Sandee for reminding me again of doing this Thankful Thursday. Whoever initiated this meme, thank you too.

I thought these two furry friends were perfect to remember a Tuesday Show and Tail! I agree with the words here too, 100 percent!

I would love to see your favorites posted at your blog so please share some soon. In the process of preparing for these meme's I found a couple great pinks to share with Beverly and the Pinkies too. I will get those posted for Pink Saturday! Everyone, have a terrific weekend.
