Wet Pause for Fitz
Pause. It's not often that Fitz slows down...after her dip with Daisy she seems to be considering more water play. I love to see them play at the beach....even though they take most of the sand home with us.
Hello. My name is....
Earlier today I had some stops to make...places to go...people to see....and a nametag to wear.
After my people and places and nametags...there were more things to do. Walk the dogs and more random stops.
When I stopped to say hello to a friendly neighbor....we chatted about the snow, the dogs and happy color...that's when Lisa informed me that there was something in my hair..."Hello. My Name is...." crumpled and stuck. THAT'S where it went!
Can You Spare A Square?
Stranded. If I didn't know better, I would be. But I plan for this. It's the little things. Is a mom the ONLY ONE to think about others....leaving others high and dry? Well maybe that wasn't the best choice of words....
But really.....another poor choice of words. Leaving a paper trail....sorry.
Not only does the paper need to be replaced...I'm proud that someone remembered the proper way to place the roll so it will unroll properly....wait a minute..... I think it was me. I know they'll learn...eventually. One roll at a time.
Beach Days Will Come Again
Walking The Trails
Daisy always happy to stay by me...off leash. Fitzy always "at the end of her rope"....if only she wouldn't run off to the nearest garbage can, dumpster or toddler with Cheerios.
Trail Mix
Remember "Highlights For Children" in the dentist office? Can you find 2 Golden Retrievers in this picture?

#5. Makes me happy...Magical colored stones.
#6. Makes me happy...Found bricks washed up on the beach.
STOP?
Dog walks..I like different venues...trails, boardwalks, along the shoreline, farms and the road. Variety is good. So is routine.
Today this sign didn't deter me. After all, this is MY place, OUR place to walk. Daisy, Fitzy and me. I drove right through the half open gate.
That's when I noticed the "Animal Control" van....in my rearview mirror. I had 2 dogs in the car.
We all jumped out of the car for our walk. Animal Control Woman stopped me to inform me the gate was closed. But it was HALF open. She considered that for a minute....and let us go on our way. I guess she's a glass is half full kinda gal.
Scrub a Dub Dub
Finally...I had the energy for a shower. Happy to have a leisurely shower, I was less than thrilled to realize that the soap dish was almost BARE! So was I. Spare yourself the visual. It was a challenge with the soap slip sliding away (this is where you hum the Paul Simon song)......I made the best of it and sang "Tiny Bubbles"....and believe me, they were TINY bubbles.
Maybe Just Another Minute....
Soon. I Will Get Up. I Will Get Up.
Wait! The million dollar coffee machine isn't working. I won't get up.
Same Cold, Different Couch
Must get up. Must get up. Woke up Grace and T.J. Made lunches. Waved goodbye as they plodded onto the bus. Daisy and I...alone.....ooh my head is stuffy.....I'll just rest here a minute.
Must get up. Must get up. Must get OOPS! There's a kitten on my chest. One more being who needs lovin'. Maybe I'll get up in a minute.
