Eyes Open

Josie’s puppies, born on August 23rd, have their eyes open. They are scooting around in the clean straw and becoming more fun every day. I moved an old lawn chair into their kennel. I can sit and pet Josie and hold puppies at the same time. Happiness is a lap full of warm puppies. Life […]

Ratatouille

Several years ago,I saw the movie ā€œRatatouilleā€ and was completely entertained. We bought the video when it came out. I began to wonder what was ā€œRatatouilleā€.

Books and Movies

Just finished reading ā€œThe Ultimate Treasureā€ by Kevin Dedmon. Went to a movie on Friday night ā€“ā€The Helpā€. I enjoyed both the book and the movie and would recommend them. The book and the movie are not related in any way. However they are thought provoking in every way. Sometimes I need to think about […]
