Flash Friday 55 (Profound) Yep I am late lol

Somedays you smell
the roses

On most days
you don't

Somedays are great
others not so good

Sometimes someone
or something makes
a profound statement

These are the days that
consume us

They're thought provoking
Many what if's come into
our minds

Do we ever get
the answers to
those what if's?

If so when?

Sorry I was late posting this but its up.

Help Please

Can anyone tell me how can I add someone else as part of my blogging team to add stuff to a blog? Thanks

We have a Match








I am so excited and pleased to announce that after last nights meeting with the "potential" service/therapy dog for my son we have a match. All the kids my three daughters and my son really enjoyed looking at the pups. We all fell in love with one little guy who is a chunky monkey lol. He is absolutely adorable. His name that we decided on will be Dodger. He will be ten weeks old when we bring him home on July 3rd. He is a black AKC registered lab. Both mom and dad were on premise last night absolutely gorgeous loving dogs. So gentle the mom and pop were. Thank you all for crossing your fingers and wishing us luck. We have seen many and have enjoyed this experience but this one is meant to be. In the posted pics you will see the larger dark lab is the mother of Dodger. The white lab is the father of Dodger I fell in love with him he was such a sweety. You will see my oldest daughter holding the pup then you will see our pup with his dad then with his mom then with me.

A prayer answered?

The call has come. Does this mean my prayer for a service/therapy dog for my son has been answered? Well I am not sure it has been but,I will let you know after the meeting of the puppy tonight. I am so excited. It is a lab. So this is what I have been holding out for. I have gone to see several dogs and have turned them down either cause it wasn't the right dog or wasn't a match. I want the dog and my son to have a connection. So hopefully tonight we will have a match. I plan on taking pics and will post them later. To all you dads out there I hope you are having a great Father's Day.

Strawberries, Streaks, Squeals


Hey there just me with one of those random thought moments. I will try and touchdown on all three of the above mentioned things, strawberries, streaks and squeals.

First is strawberries. I have never ever been overly fond of anything strawberry flavored or the real things themselves. They do smell nice, and it is fun to pick them. This year I must of been having a very therapeutic and relaxing time while picking cause I estimated I picked maybe 6 pounds worth but when I weighed the two flats that I had picked, the first flat had 6 pounds, and the second flat had 8 pounds. Holy toledo that is 14 pounds of strawberries!!! Anyone for a daiquiri? I took these bad boys home washed them up put them in a ziplock freezer baggie okay multiple baggies. I gave some away and kept some. I have to say these buggers are big, juicy, and well sweet. So despite the fact that I normally don't like them they are actually very tasty. My middle daughter loves strawberries. Tonight it is going to be hashbrowns and some strawberry pancakes yumalicious.

Next topic is streaks. Okay no I am not streaking the neighbors or anything like that, this involves the oldest daughter. She is not streaking either by the way. She is an honor roll student every year, this year she has not done that for every semester she has done it for two. However, the grades are still good. The deal was if she maintained her grades she could streak it blue. So the other night after picking strawberries which she dislikes very much but, was a great help this year at picking, she asked, "hey mom you know how you said if I got good grades I could get my hair colored blue?" I said,"yep" she said,"can I still do that?" I said, "you bet". So now we will be visiting our great and long time hairdresser for some streaks to see how she likes it. I at first had suggested doing just the tips but then at dinner we decided on a few streaks.

Okay Squeals, well you see we are still in school here until the 24th of the month. So the squeals comes in the form of excitement. One school is almost out, two is today is field day, third omg school is almost out lol. Okay so last night I got each kid prepared with proper team colors. Oldest daughter has a shirt that was made by her teacher for todays event and her teams colors are blue green and white, middle daughter is red team, youngest daughter is green team. So I did everyone's nails in the color of team colors. Yes oldest daughter has every other nail done in green and blue not the white, middle is blazing red with some sparkles, youngest is a limey green very cool. LOL. Can't wait to hear which teams won what.

Wow what a Weekend
















This weekend was busy busy busy. My niece graduated on Friday. Saturday kicked off with everyone wanting to do different things. The two oldest kids went off with friends, and the two youngest and I went on some cool little outings. First outing was to the mall, first stop was Build a Bear gotta love it. My youngest daughter wanted to make springtime bear which is a totally beautiful bear. Her fur is a bright pink and there is flowers all throughout. She got a cute outfit to boot. My son who is the baby of the family, he is also Autistic, well he did not feel like making one of the animals he just had fun looking at everything and seeing how it all worked. So then off to The Childrens Place for a couple of new summer outfits then to Target so little man could pick out something since he didn't want a build a bear. He picked out some finger paints, and a mini bowling set and it seems like he picked out a game that both he and the little princess my youngest daughter can play together. So then we hustle to one other store cause I needed to get something that I just couldn't find anywhere. So then it was homeword bound. Everyone into pj's get a drink put on a funny show and crash. Sunday morning rise and shine early stop off at my all time fave farmstand, get veggies for my garden. I go 6 red bell pepper plants, 6 hungarian style hot pepper plants, 3 pickling cuke plants, 2 zucchini plants, 6 dill plants. I got flowers for my grandparents grave site and a high towering shade loving Lily for myself absolutely gorgeous. I had to stop back home drop off my plants and grab my camera. I like to send my mom pics of what I plant up at the cemetary. Then it was to the cemetary where I planted and little princess watered the plants. From there we headed home to grab a drink and a potty break, then to the Classic Car Show. Wonderful cars. One of my faves was a Biscayne, there was a few that looked like the ZZ top car, a lot of GTO's there was a cool band that was playing. Two clowns Beeper and Poppy. A huge retro VW hippie bus that was for the band but they didn't stay in it to play they were right down on the hard top jammin. So after the car show homeward bound to plant my veggies and clean up the yard some. Then I stank so off to the shower then all kids were home so it was a moment of we all scream for ice cream yahoo. I was craving pistachio but couldn't resist the kahlua so there you have it a fun filled action packed workout of a wonderful weekend enjoy the pics. Some are from the car show, some are of the build a bear some are of the veggie garden some of the lily, some of the pretty flowers on the cemetary. Oh yes an there is a couple of pics of my rose bushes, and by the way my 55 is just below this post. Ejoy!

Flash Friday 55(TGIF)


A little bit of this
A little bit of that

Shake Shake Shake

A spring of mint for garnish
A beautiful red sunset colored
beverage was poured into the
cocktail glasses.

With a smile on their faces
and a glass in hand
they raise their glasses for a toast.

To friendship. And finally TGIF!
