LOVE

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I hope that you are able to share the day with someone that you absolutely adore! I will be heading out for breakfast with my guy this morning.

I am really excited because no longer will I be wracking my brain trying to figure out what earth shattering, deep and awe inspiring topic to write about. Nope, no more. See on Friday I wrote about dishwashers....and I just have to laugh! Twenty people commented on that post....the most I've ever had. So, from here on out, I am only writing about appliances. We will cover them all...washers, dryers, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves....you name it...we are going to talk about it. I'm just kidding of course, but I did think that was pretty darn funny!

Just thought I would share some LOVE with you today.

Here is a new tote bag I just finished. I hope to get it listed in my etsy shop, FourDogDay some time today. It will be a great one for the beach or a trip to the library or to the store. I LOVE this fabric. I had made a vendor apron out of it and had some left, so I thought I would use it up!

This is our little Sparky. Sparks will be 13 years old next month. I can't believe we have had her that long. Sparky LOVES to be warm and she LOVES the sun. As you can see, we flip the cushions on the chairs up to keep hairy dogs off of them, but when she saw that sun shining on that chair, she just jumped right up and made herself comfy. She didn't need the cushion. I let her bask in the warmth....she's a little old lady and she sometimes gets to do what she wants.

Here is Maggie looking out the front window. She is waiting patiently for the LOVE of her life to come back from running his errands yesterday. I just LOVE the way she hangs her paws over the back of the couch!

Have a really wonderful day today. Do something nice for yourself and for those you LOVE. Happy Valentine's Day Irv! I LOVE you!

My Wish For You

Happy New Year to you! May this be the year that dreams are made of for you and your family. May 2010 bring you good health, happiness and peace.

Normally, I am ready to slam the door shut on the old year...and even though it has been a terrible year in many respects....for me it has been a year of personal discovery. I have learned to live in the present and that has changed my life. I no longer fret over what has already happened and I no longer stress over what might or might not be.

I am enjoying each and every day for exactly what it is, and every day brings me a feeling of joy that I have never felt before. I wish the very same for you in 2010.

Even though we have never met, I consider you, my blog friends, to be some of my dearest. So many times I have written "Love You" at the end of my blog post, only to go back and remove it lest someone think I'm a wee bit "strange" telling people I don't even know that I love them....but in all honesty...I do love all of you. I love you for who you are and for the tears and laughter each of you have brought me this past year through your writing. For that, I thank you!

Here is to another whole year filled with love and laughter my friends! Happy New Year!
