A boy and his dogs relationship is like no other in the world. As soon as Andy and i got rosie he and rosie were in love. Andy is the "fun guy" in our parenting with her and im "the hammer." On this day in particulare he and Rosie were running threw the tall wet grass for as long as Andy could keep up. Rosie has lots and lots of energy. There bond is a sweet thing to witness.  Rosie and i we have our own moments of quiet and calm book reading. I do take her to the dog park everyday and she is the happiest when around other dogs. I love seeing how smart she is and how she always comes when i call her, for the most part. Owning a dog has changed our world drastically but in a good way. We have gone from a clean calm cat house to a busy dirty dog house. Its been good for us to throw a mix into our otherwise orderly world. Yes there have been a few trying times, like when Rosie ate a bowl of chocolate covered almonds, or when one of our cats chases her and smacks her but all in all things are good. We have gotten into our rhythm with her and she is fitting in very well.  I do have to say the "dog" world is such a new experience for me all i do at the dog park is talk to other people about there dog and there personalities im still getting used to figuring out my limits of politeness with her and what the etiquette is at the dog park and around other dogs. thank goodness rosie is so sweet and submissive i dont know what id do with a bully dog. I have to constantly remind myself she is only a 8 month old puppy i cant expect her to do everything i want on the first try.

After writing about summer days and swimming with my grandma linda i called my mother and asked her where the picture of my sister and i in our suits was. so after digging in all the hundreds of pictures here they are. i have to say we are so cute in our little swim caps. I find it funny that my sister doesn't have a cap on in the photo of us in the pool. I love my sisters feet in that photo its the only time in her life that her feet look huge she wears kids size shoes and to all of you thinking it must be hard for her to find shoes no it is not she has just as many if not more shoes than anyone else.  ahh the good old days of bikinis and bellies. wish i had the nerve to just let is all hang out like that in my adult life. but when your an adult and your in a bikini with a big ol belly hanging out its just not cute like when your 4 so no bikinis for me. you'll all thank me later for that. 

until next time wishing you all memories of summer days at the pool letting it all hang out.

Lately i have been really unmotivated. im not sure what it is all about. is it the warm weather? usually that motivates people. Is it that im knitting a blanket and am so over it, i wish it would be done. i haven't even been in the garden. i want to buy some new plants but we must pay bills first so its not a high priority. is it that we got a new dog and my whole routine is out of whack? im not sure if its only one of these things, a combination of these things ,or none of these things. the last couple days i have been trying to think about what motivates me? what inspires me? usually ill find inspirations when i just get out and about in town. go to shops see what is out there. but im not even feeling that. or ill i get inspired when i travel to a new place. no trips in the near future. how can i break this? am i ok with it? should i just "let it be." today i spent the day with a dear friend and we had breakfast and coffee together than knit for a while than lunch. than i took her up to my craft room and showed her some of my collections of old shit that i have lots of. im like a crow that is drawn to shiny things. alot of times i walk with my head down because im looking for treasures. This dear friend started to get so inspired in a direction i never thought she would go but she kept talking about felting. granted i love to felt i love all things felted. But my friend she has  very different taste than i and yet she was inspired by my old shit to felt something. I loved how excited she got. i look at my stuff all the time its not new to me but to her it was treasure and inspiring.  Maybe thats what im supposed to be doing right now is inspiring others. who knows all i now is im in a pit of a non motivate,non inspiring slump. i know it will turn i know ive got lots of ideas in me. it will just take a little time. until than ill just lay around and eat bonbons. 

Imagine, Create, Inspire, Understand, Love, Share, Live, Learn, BE.

The last few days it seems as though something electric is in the air. I know you know what im talking about.  Think about it for a second. My neighbors car wouldn't start on the one day she really needed it to start. Someone called in sick on the one day that it was so busy. People have been feeling just a little bit edgy lately myself included.  I don't know what it is maybe the heat, maybe a new moon is coming, maybe the change of seasons. who know's all i know is something is in the air. I don't think any lessons "need" to be learned but it never hurts when one is learned. Take a few minutes and stop and think about the conversations you've been having with people anything off about their day. Well it could just be me and the people surrounding me. Maybe im the electric thing happing in the world?
