WHEN THE QUIET IS LOUD

 When you’re wondering why it’s so quiet, so you go to check on your doxie to see why:


Happy Tuesday! It’s pretty early for me to be posting (6:30 a.m.), but I woke up two hours ago and thought, “Why not?” I assume that lots of other doxie lovers out there are up as well.

Our chiweenie Abby is a food little girl, and she is definitely NOT a morning dawg ( which is fine with us, by the way!). We Ross early for many decades for work, but now in retirement, we still often wake up early but have more relaxed mornings unless we have someplace to be, like church or an appointment. I now schedule doctor appointments for afternoons rather than mornings! 

Are you still in the workforce? And if you still have school age children at home, I applaud you! That has been quite a few years ago for us.

The day looms ahead, and Inhabe several projects planned for today. Be safe. think positive thoughts, and make the most of your day ♥️

MEME MOMDAY IS BACK

 






Happy Monday, folks! Do you have anything exciting going on this week? Life isn’t always exciting, of course, and as I’ve gotten older, I’m fine with that. My husband and I have been retired for years, but it’s interesting that we can find plenty to do, anyway. I’ve made the statement that “having a job often interferes with life!”

Don’t get me wrong: We did enjoy our teaching careers, but were often very tired. Teaching six or seven classes a day (often with theee or four different courses or levels) in high school, supervising student extracurricular activities, teacher meetings and conferences, etc. Plus, our two daughters were very active in choir, handbells, band, plus sports! They both played softball, volleyball, and basketball—and being four years apart, that meant two sets of practiced and two sets of games. We kinda miss those busy dates sometimes. But not always! We often wonder how we did it all back then, but the answer is clear: we were younger!

Have a great Monday, FURiends! ♥️

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

 🔲🔹🔲🔸🔲♦️🔲▪️🔲🔹🔲🔸🔲

Something for everyone and all ages! (8+):

🔲🔹🔲🔸🔲♦️🔲▪️🔲🔹🔲🔸🔲

THE DACHSHUND ESCAPADES by Sarge the family dog has these exciting experiences in his adventures:

🐟FISHING: Sarge relates “A Fishing Story” he witnessed, involving Grandpa “Papa” Duke and his old Army buddy Sellars—an unbelievable story that rivals any fishing tale out there!

🚐TRAVEL: How about a cross country RV trip (from North Carolina to Arizona) with another doxie and two humans? They experience a wide variety of local cultures, sights, smells (and food), narrated by Sarge, who lived to tell about it!

🎄HOLIDAYS: Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, Thanksgiving, July 4, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, etc., birthday parties—all through Sarge’s eyes: but he does go kinda heavy on describing the yummy FOOD (forgive him—he’s a dog and a chow hound extraordinaire!).
