Lillie made us smile when she was with us, LK, and made me appreciate more the little things in life and just how precious they are.

Spent a couple hours mowing, just how you want to spend a gorgeous Saturday morning, then played fetch with the new girl, and had cuddle and play time with the kitties. Then it was back to work cleaning out more clutter. The back of my Explorer is almost full again for a second trip to Goodwill. Seperating Goodwill from yard sale from trash. One of our neighbors brought us a few veggies from his garden yesterday and we decided then to hold another community yard sale over Labor Day week-end. This time I mean it, whatever doesn't sell is being donated, no more packing and unpacking.

We haven't named the new girl yet, happ, but are leaning toward Wiggles Dixie Rose...sort of a twist on "whistling Dixie". When I whistle and call Dixie, she comes running...lol I don't grow Roses so that may be for Confederate Rose since I grew up in SC and my Mom grew both. Funny how different regions of the Country call those nasty hitchhikers stick tights. Around here, they're called "beggar lice", I have no idea why since they aren't related to lice...lol. You must have had your hands full with Sam. What a mental pic you painted :) OH, Dixie totally destroyed one of our screen doors on the back porch yesterday and DH moved her lead out by the White Pines.

Get this, we made the last payment on DH's truck last month, always paid online, and today received a $0.31 refund check! My wheels are turning...31 whole cents...lol I'm an ex-bean counter and understand the in's and out's of accounting but geez, that check probably cost $25 to process.

How was your trip, Debra?
