HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TOBY!!!!




OUR TOBY IS 10 TODAY!!!  Hard to believe.....but it seems like he's ALWAYS been a member of our family!  We sure love this dog.  Especially that papa!  It is his dog, for sure!  Hope his birthday gets better and the storms stop.

I am so sick of thunder. It was cool at first, but it is getting old really fast.  I am just thankful Toby isn't freaked out by it. He's not a fan...but doesn't go hiding. He just looks at us for affirmation that all is still OK.  We've had this weird storm of thunder, lightening, periods of rain or hail, and sunshine for over 36 hours.  We don't have the humidity like the mid west... so that is good.  Poor animals....first the fireworks and then the storms. Sucks for them. I think about Maddie's cat Gracie....

and Lauren's dog Sandy....

neither like loud noises.  I put Toby in our bedroom with fans and curtains closed.

We slept in today!  I didn't wake up until 8:30! That is crazy for me.  I usually get up between 5 and 6.  The girls didn't get up until 9:00.  Felt good.

The girls are playing this morning....and papa is cooking them bacon and breakfast. I am going through some boxes to throw away stuff and to store stuff. I need to give some of the photo albums to my sisters that were my mom's.

Wow, I had to get back to this....took a break for the storm!  I have never seen it rain so hard here or heard the thunder so loud it shook my house and plants!  Toby was panting.  Here is the girls.... after they settled down from screaming and freaking out!

Now they are all relaxing in the den watching Annie! They have always loved that movie!!!!
I did lose 8 pounds in a week. Very glad about that....but it is just a drop in the ocean. I've just started.  Wish me luck.

Hope you have a wonderful Saturday! God's blessings on you! xoxo

Well...now it is sunny. lol!
