This is my God dog, Weiner.  My Son is in the Navy & we watch her when he is gone on deployment.  We have had her for almost a year.  He is home now & coming to get her at Thanksgiving..if not sooner once he see's this picture!!
So while he was oversea's I would dress her up & send him pictures of her..Christmas..Mardi Gras..Valentines day..even. St. Patricks day & Easter.  So I saw this bee costume in a local pet store & I had to have it.  My hubby was with me..he knew once I saw it I would want it..he said"NOO!!'. Now he doesnt tell me no often, so its somewhat of a foreign word to me...lol  Obviously I dont know the meaning cuz I went the next day & got the costume!!  .  She is not happy..not hurting..and definitely has the Queen Bee attitude.  My friend said I need to make this my ETSY shops avatar..Im working on that!!  Have a larger costume for my daschund..Kiwi..we'll see how that dress rehearsal goes..

Never a wasted day

I was up early to clean up..had a friend over for the day..funny thing..we never spent much time in the house..she likes to garden like I do..so we spent the day first digging through her yard..I got some new plant starts..then coming here..had a great lunch outside..then shared some wonderful cheesecake I had "hidden" in the frig.  At first I felt like I was wasting the day away...BUT...a day spent sharing laughter & sunshine with a friend is a day of investment..in wonderful memories.  So what if the laundry didnt get folded or the errand list has doubled.  Sometimes we just need to sit..literally smell the flowers..share a secret..(cheesecake).. friendship is precious..and we dont know until its gone by the wayside just how preciuos.  Just like the plants I love to nurture, so must I do the same with my friends.  I love you one & all.
