Crazy Pets


I am a pet lover as you can see from some of the photos on my blog. About six or more months again I adopted a little calico cat from a young couple who are friends with my son and daughter-in-law. Needless to say she has become one of the favorite pets in my household. Even though I love all my pets the same there are a few that have funny little personalities and my little Sophie cat is one of them. She is quite a lover and has melted the heart of the black tom cat (Smores) that came into my household a few years ago from a shelter. He loves her so much that he even shares his food bowls with her even though she has her own. Life is never dull when you have so many different personalities around your house.

Summer Love




My daughter-in-law had posted these photos and I thought they were so cute that I had to share them with all my friends. It really goes to show that love blooms at all ages. My little granddaughter isn't even two years old yet and has a little boy companion to chum with. Here they are at a friends wedding holding hands and enjoying the afternoon.

I'm going to turn 60 years old next month and love has even bloomed for me this summer as well. After being single for 17 years after my divorce I didn't think that I would find true love after so many years and at my age. It just goes to show that love blooms at any age. My new love has just asked me to marry him and I said yes!

What's The Real Meaning of UP!!

I haven't been around for awhile I hope that all my friends and family are all doing well. I hope everyone had a happy fourth of July. I did I spent it at Sea World in San Diego with my fiance'. we were able to watch fireworks from the Shamu stadium and it was just delightful.

I was reading my e-mail this morning and this fun little letter was sent to me. I thought it so funny that I wanted to share it with all of you. So here it is. Read it all the way to the end to get to the punch line it's really cute.


Read until the end.....you'll laugh....

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word
is
'UP.' It is listed in the
dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand
UP, meaning toward the sky
or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning,
why do we
wake
UP?


At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do
we speak
UP, and why are the
officers
UP for
election
and why is it UP to the secretary to
write
UP a
report? We call
UP our friends,
brighten
UP a room, polish UP the
silver, warm
UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We
lock
UP the house and
fix
UP the old
car.


At other times this little word has real special
meaning. People stir
UP trouble,
line
UP for
tickets, work
UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one
thing but to be dressed
UP is
special.

And this UP is confusing: A
drain must be opened
UP because it is stopped UP.

We
open
UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at
night.
We seem to be pretty mixed
UP about UP !

To be
knowledgeable about the proper uses of
UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary.. In a desk-sized
dictionary, it takes
UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about
thirty definitions

If you are
UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may
wind
UP with a hundred or
more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is
clouding
UP . When the sun comes out
we say it is clearing
UP. When it rains, it
soaks
UP the
earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry
UP. One could go on & on, but I'll wrap
it
UP, for now ........my time is UP !


Oh....one more thing:
What is the first thing you
do in the morning & the last thing you do at
night?

U
P !

Did that one crack you UP?


Don't screw UP. Send this on to everyone you
look
UP in your address
book..or not...it's
UP to you.

Now
I'll shut
UP


Yea!! Isla is 9 months old
