We graduated from our FIRST course in cake decorating. As you can see, ROSES were the topic. Mine look like mini cabbages and Nichol's look like ROSES. So I guess PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE is ahead of me!!!

Oscars........Trinity River Style

Today at work, we had an appreciation event Oscar style. We recognized those who helped make TR what it is today.....red carpet and all. It was fun and more pix will follow of the day but for now some quick shots I had to share!!!

My Little Brother.....Ok.....TALL, Little Brother!!!

My brother came and graced up with his presence for two weeks. It didn't seem like two weeks, but it WAS!! Time always goes by so fast and the next thing you know, did I take a picture with my TALL, little brother....ah...nope!! So, with everyone else in bed except him and I....we both are night owls...I grabbed the camera and after 10 shots with the camera held out in front of us, I got this one!!!! I love my TALL, little brother!!!

Having So Much Fun With SIL (Sister-in-Law)

When my brother married Nichol, I didn't just get a sister-in-law, I got a sister and a friend!! How lucky and blessed that I have her so close. Close, meaning right here....not up in the frozen tundra. Honestly, I am a bit giddy having someone so close to my heart and RIGHT here!!! Someone that gets my quirky ways. Someone who likes to watch and recite word for word from movies like "Dirty Dancing" or "The Goonies." Someone who breaks into song from "Mama Mia" out of the blue. Someone who says the exact same thing at the exact same time as me. Yip....having a SIL is the best thing ever especially when we are learning to do this.......

Doggy Daycare!!

Having dogs is just like having kiddos. They must eat, sleep, play and of course go duty. Having dogs is also like having a daycare. Breakfast, outside time, lining up for a drink out of the water fountain...er, water bowl, sharing toys, getting treats for good behavior, dinner and plenty-o-naps!! There isn't any back talk, no grounding when they bark too much. Having dogs is just like having kiddos, you love them with all your heart!!

Some Of My Favorite Things About FALL!!

The squirrels are having a hay-day in the side yard. The mower isn't a fan of these tho..........

Shasta Daisies are one of my favorite flowers. So plain and simple and beautiful.

And Mums.....they speak for themselves.

This one makes me just HAPPY!
