He hung around for dinner ..having dog food, strawberry poptarts and a big bowl of water before heading back out into the winter weather. Thanks Sammy. Coon.

Every year when February comes around... I pull out this picture of my sweet dear friend Diane and post it on Facebook for the world to see how darn cute she is. This year she celebrates  her 61st birthday , she's still looking good and is as sweet as ever and can cook a mean skillet of biscuits. Happy birthday Diane I will never forget this trip that we took together to Belize, Central America and I will forever protect this photo so that I might bring it out once a year to remind you of the body you used to have..... lol  happy 61st birthday.

It's been a long time since I put on a pair of roller skates. We celebrated Jackson's friend Molly's birthday last week at the roller skating rink. It was jackson first time to give roller skating a try, he did a great job and had a blast. I am also happy to report that I can still skate!!! Happy birthday Molly.
