Basically Boring Life

Okay, so I've been a lazy blogger for a while but when your life is basically boring then your blog spot is basically boring too.

I have been busy at Grannie's Attic working on my booths. Things have been rearranged and I have added lots of new stuff which I have picked up here and there. Almost all the booths have been rented and Grannie has even expanded into the back room with some wonderful pieces of antique furniture and Christmas things. Drop in and look around. There is something for almost anyone in there including baby things (new and used), wedding stuff (new), antiques, tee shirts, books, magazines, furniture, candles, Tupperware, purses, luggage, etc. It is like a mini mall!

The pictures below are from last week at my son's house. It sure is nice to get a call saying, "Mom we're grilling tonight so come on out and eat supper with us." It was an enjoyable night and I got lots of hugs and kisses from Lane' and B.J. Lane' posed with her new puppy and B.J. just generally showed off his jumping and doing boy stuff for me. Lots of fun was had by all and this night was far from boring!

Fancy and Bruiser

I finally got a decent picture of my new house dog, Bruiser. He is a rescue, who came to a friend's house, and then she found him a home with Fancy and I. It had been on my mind to get a companion dog for Fancy since I am gone to work every day and I was just sure she was lonesome all day. So when Bruiser showed up, out to the woods he came to see if Fancy liked him. She didn't! At least not for a few weeks but now they get along famously. She still is a tiny bit jealous when I give him my attention but they get along fine. Both of them are good company for me and I really do enjoy them. Below is one of the rare times I am able to get them still at the same time long enough to get a picture. Aren't they cute?

A Good Quote

"Do not try to do a great thing, or you may waste all your life waiting for the opportunity which may never come. But since little things are always claiming your attention, do them as they come from a great motive, for the glory of God and to do good to men." - F.B. Meyer

Does anyone else sometimes wonder if you are wasting your life because you have not accomplished anything "big"? Maybe all we are called to do is the little things that may mean something big in someone else's life. I know there are lots of "little" things that others have done for me which I will always remember them for doing. These things meant a great deal in my life. This quote today is a real encouragement. It is one of those quotes which make me say, "I wish I had said that."

Dogs

A friend of mine has found a home for Rascal, the Jack Russell Terrier. Gypsy, the black dog still needs a home and there is also a dog that looks like he may be a Blue Healer. Both of them would make great pets. If any of you know someone who would like a dog please let me know.

Sold

Thanks for all the interest. All the baby stuff is gone. If anyone is wanting something else, let me know and I will be on the lookout for you.

Homes Needed

As you know if you follow my blog, I rescue dogs quite frequently. These are two of my rescues who went to live with my neighbor shortly after I got them. My neighbor was an elderly man who lived alone. Last week he passed away. Since I now have two other dogs, I really need to find homes for Gypsy and Rascal.

Gypsy is the black dog. She has been spayed. She would make a wonderful pet for a family with children. She is gentle and loving with a sweet personality.

Rascal is a different story. He needs a place where he can run and play during the day but come inside at night. He might be okay with older children but he has been known to nip. He hates a bath and will need a strong hand for that. He also has a good temperment over all but being a Jack Russell Terrier has to have plenty of exercise and outdoor time. He can tree squirrels but is not trained to come to his owner when called.

Both of these dogs are free to the right home. I love them both and want them to have good homes. If you need some little sweetheart to love please consider one or both of them.

Baby Bed For Sale

Okay, everything is spoken for except the baby bed. It is still for sale.

Hope all of you are having a good Labor Day, in spite of Gustav.
