MILO WATCHING TRAFFIC GO BY! NOTE: PLEASE EXCUSE THE SYSTEM FONT  PROBLEMS My family has always owned medium-sized dogs. There  was Mario, the male black Lab, Missy, the female  Chow Chow, and Raja, the female Shepherd mix.    Missy, the female Chow Chow, and Raja, the female Shepherd mix.  My husband and I were also the parents of two delightful boys. Our household couldn't contain dogs and two high-strung boys.  We struggled to maintain our sanity.  We fenced in our yard and put the dogs and the boys outside to play. Whew,  this was a great solution when the boys were growing up. Our dogs had a large custom made dog house and a huge yard  to wrestle with my boys. Raja with her smart self, lived to be 21 years old.  Raja was still living when my grown children left home. The Good Lord  and Raja bought me comfort when my husband passed away.  I moved her into the house  with me. She adjusted  to being my guard dog! I was very sad when Raja  died  due t

My goodness, I just found out that the Senior Valentine Party  that I want to attend requires people to wear business casual attire!  My wardrobe has become mighty tired-looking  since I retired.  I don't go out looking like a hag. But,  I  haven't updated anything in years.  I go to the same places  most of the  time so I didn't see the need.  Well, I feel  the need to at least look for a new blouse or tunic for this  party.  I'll look online for ideas, then go to  the nearby  department stores to  shop.  I like red clothes is they have a classic style. I loathe  flashy  gaudy  looking clothes. I realize what seems  flashy/gaudy to me, might look alright to someone else.  I'll admit that  I have "old school" style taste. I don't wear grandma jeans. But I don't wear the skin-tight  jeans like I see worn by young ladies at the mall! I have finished my research online.  Here are some  nice-looking red blouses and tunics I

NOTE: PLEASE EXCUSE SYSTEM PROBLEM  WITH THE FONTS!  I am retired and have plenty of time on my hands. I hate to admit that I didn't I pay attention to the needs of others when I was a young mother and wife.  I  devoted most of my time on caring  for  my husband and children.   The Bible tells  me to show love to my brethen. This year, I'm  am trying to be more obedient. I plan to show more compassion to others . I had noticed  that my Senior Lady friends  who had lost their husbands might have been dealing  with loneliness. Some of them had grown children that didn't  have the time to visit very often. I decided to treat my widowed friends and mother on Valentine's Day this year. My plan is to give them Valentine Day gift bags. It will be just a little  token to show them that they are my Valentine!! I may include the following in the gift bags:   Candy kisses, flavored swizzle sticks,  giant chocolate chip cookie, giant ca

I fell in love with the color purple  last year.  I didn't have a lot of luck finding purple clothes  that I liked. Apparently,  I wasn't in a shopping mood. There are a  lot of purple lovers in the world!  I'll try again during the new year.  But, I had lots of luck finding purple ornaments  and bows for my Christmas Tree. My green fir  tree looked beautiful!  Now, I'm looking to break tradition and  use the color purple for my Valentine's  Day decor and gifts. Here are some ideas I might use for  my  purple Valentine's Day wreath for my doors: https://www.trendytree.com https://www.thebridesbouquet.com https://www.amazon.com I'll start looking for heart-shaped wreaths at  my local dollar stores.  I may have to settle for  marked down round wreaths.  I'll hot glue mini hearts and cherubs on my wreaths if heart- shaped wreaths are not available.
