Life is Good


Check out these dog houses!
Turns out Jerry couldn't come to walk us yesterday because he was in a wedding, but it worked out fine.  The weather was cool and with no rain in sight. Chim stayed locked up on the big deck with his Igloo doghouse, patio bed, 21 toys, and a shade awning Linda made out of towels with the deck chairs.  Even though it was 5 hours, he was much better outside than locked in the small bathroom.  I was a good girl and didn't have an accident inside the house.  After her classes, we all hung out until it was time for Linda to go to her dinner party.  There was only 4 1/2 other guests (one joined the table just for dessert) so it was really nice.  We didn't get our salmon treat because Linda forgot to ask for a doggy bag.  She has a piece of salmon in the freezer and promised to grill it sometime this week so we can have the scraps.

Linda is super excited about seeing the kids today.  They are finally back from their beach vacation.  It was only one week, but honestly seemed like a month.  Look who can't wait to see their Nana!

Taylor called Linda yesterday and told her Penelope did a bunch of new tricks during the week.  It's a time of her life (6 months) when even a few days produce major stepping stones.  She is sitting up by herself for a long time and saying all sorts of new baby words.  Linda's been working with Penny on her crawling skills.  I bet this week she starts scooting forward on her own!

Tierney looking lovely.  She is a true Southern Lady. 


The perfect Christmas card!
Every single morning when Linda first wakes up she says a prayer of thanks.  She feels so incredibly blessed and is grateful for all that God's given her.  She has an amazing family (including her church family!), a wonderful home, 2 dogs who adore her, her health, food and clothes in abundance, a super fun job and friends who love her.  If you google the word Content, this is what you should find:
