Stop and Smell The Green Stuff Dad!

Hey!  Gracie here.  

You know what day it is, right?

I just wanted to tell you about the gift I gave my Dad.  Today while Dad was walking me I pulled him over to my usual place, the telephone pole by the electric station place (oh, the good smells on that pole!)  

Now, if you think Mom is a nag...  you should hear Dad on our walks.  

"Gracie, keep moving!"  "Stop sniffing!"  "Hurry up!" "It's called a walk Gracie...  let's go!"

Yea, I know.  He can be a real pain on the road.  

So anyhooo...  today as I'm yanking him over to my regular, wonderful spot by the pole, first he starts with one of his famous lines "C'mon Gracie, I haven't got all day!"  Then he stopped, let me have my way, and leaned down and picked up something that was green     (and it wasn't doggie doo)...  

To Dad:  Take the time to stop and smell the roses, Dad.  Or at least allow your Dog to stop and smell the telephone poles. 

 Ya never know what you might run into...  

Saying Goodbye

 I'm tired of dying my hair.  I have been seriously considering letting it go gray.  Picture below is 2 months worth of no dye. I know, I know.  You say you don't notice any gray, right?

Ummm...  Take a closer look.

 I am sure I will have a weak moment and then it will be darker again...  and probably sooner than later.  I did pick up some 'sale Preference by LoReal' at Rite Aid on Sunday.  LOL.  

Another thing.  Today I had a 'revelation'.    Well, maybe it was a thought that just hit me.  Or maybe God was speaking to me in His ever-so-mysterious way.  Whatever the case, I made a decision.

You see, I have an addiction to sugar.  I used to think it was chocolate that I was addicted to, but I'm pretty sure it is sugar. 

I have been doing some research.  Coming from a family of diabetes and heart disease, I believe it would serve me well to be more careful about how much sugar goes into my body.  

Do you have any idea how much sugar I eat in a day!  A lot!  

So I am kicking my sugar addiction once and for all.  

Bye-Bye Sugar!

I want to be young and vibrant like my husband:

He reminds me more of his late father every day ;-)

We are really enjoying our summer...

And Gracie hasn't had one single flea yet
