Delilah's Favorite New Spot.

Well look at this. I was looking for Delilah yesterday....and I heard this faint meow when I called her. There she was up on the cabinets. I have now seen her there often, so I guess its official.  Just so funny I had to snap this photo. The next one his her getting ready to launch down to the counter. My kitchen is now a jungle gym..*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨

How can we not love animals.

This is Joey when he was little. I love this picture and was reminded of it with my sisters phone call last night. My sister is an animal control officer in NJ. She loves animals too and often brings them home to foster and find a home, or keep. I'd have to say she isnt as bad as me as wanting them all, but if she was at home more, I think she would be. Well, she called and told me she had to put her cat Alley to sleep. She had adopted Alley even tho Alley had feline Aids. She loved that cat and was so upset, she said no more animals. Well that was yesterday. She called today and told me she adopted another cat. I was not surprised, often we get another animal when one passes. So she is feeling better and I am glad. My sister has a gigantic heart and any animal she gives a home is very lucky. That is what made me think of this picture. She was with me when I got Joey and she also let me know there was one at her shelter that looked excactly like him. She is driving the kitty to my home next weekend. lol. I have time to soften hubby...hehehe.*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨

What is your favorite Halloween candy?

OK. I know. We are older and we aren't supposed to like candy anymore. We are watching our figure and setting a good example for the kids and eating right. Well, I have to say it. Candy corn is the best! I don't eat much of it anymore, but I can remember eating it until my stomache felt sick. There is a certain way candy corn has to be eaten too. You can't gobble it down at one time, or even suck on it for minutes. You must nibble off every color, one by one. That is how you know a true and dedicated candy corn eater! LOL What is your favorite?*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨

This photo Says it all

Four-year old Paige didn't want to say goodbye to her daddy before he was shipped off to Iraq
A family photo that shows a little girl beside her father and his fellow soldiers in uniform as they prepare to go to war has resonated well beyond the tight knit Bennethum clan.

Four-year-old Paige Bennethum really, really didn't want her daddy to go to Iraq.
So much so, that when Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum lined up in formation at his deployment this July, she couldn't let go.
No one had the heart to pull her away.

Thanks to a friend for sending this to me.*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨

BOO!

Well it's almost here, Halloween! This is my husbands favorite holiday. He loves setting up the haunted house, the whole nine yards. For me it is Christmas for my favorite, but Halloween is very special because I know how much he loves it. The kids are grown, but yes, we still decorate...the pumpkins sit on the porch and the entire porch is covered in web.  I buy the candy to hand out even though they don't usually come, oh for the old days when we would walk for miles just for that bit-o-honey. Do they even still have those? Now it is mom driving the kids around in a mini van, I just laugh at the thought. I do understand the safety issues but...like I said...oh for the good ole days! Have a Happy Halloween!.*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨¨*♥ ♥*¨
