So projects are a constant here, how about at your home?

 


It has been noted that during the PANDEMIC homes have been refreshed redone and reborn as often as they can be!

Here on our own homefront, now that the pool is finished, the regulating of salt, pH, and chlorine has begun.

Plus Hubby has created an eating station for our pups that unfortunately, he did not film.

It is simply genius!

When completed I will explain how and what he did.

I even have a small or larger project today for myself.

It depends on how energetic I am.

After this blog writing, my hopeful project will be touching up the blue paint on Hubby's bathroom vanity.  

Although, the bigger project would be also painting his medicine cabinet as well.

I noticed the oak veneer is ripping off!

After all, that medicine cabinet might be the oldest bathroom piece we own. 

The cabinet is from 2004, and after Hurricane Charley, we had redone the small bathroom for the very first time; the tile and fixtures had been green and black!

To this day, I kid, that we only remodel after hurricanes!

Recently, I have proved that this not to be the case.

It's my way of handling the devastation that hurricanes can cause.

That is why none of us should get attached to inanimate items!

Pictures, memories should be carefully preserved though.

As well, and it goes without saying human beings and pets!

But they are animate, ha!

No matter what it is always reassuring that pictured below is what starts our days from anywhere in our world! Our morning sunrise!




And so we must go, for now ...

Please be smart, as well as safe.
Have a very pleasant day.

Count those blessings, and we will too!
Next time, please be here or be square, ya hear!

Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not being from Australia, but American-made, I will comply anyway, for the fun of it,... so I will say good day!

I am called Aussie because my Mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl, who had been looking at me, in the crate at the adoption site, that day, what she thought I should be named. And without hesitation, the teenager had said, Aussie! She was just looking, by the way,... so Mom did not steal me from her.
We never did find out the girl's name, and Mom liked the name Aussie too. We have since found out that it is a very common name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon though,... some might say even unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd. Here is an interesting factoid about me, I was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but... as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now three years old, so I am the baby, though I tip the scales at around seventy pounds, HA! I must admit, a very big one!
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. Below is my new PIC that had been taken on the birthday that I share with my Dad, but Dad is much, much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, February 16, 2018, his brother's birthday.
3 months................................................ 3 years

No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018. (Although, the actual date this blog started was June 25, 2008.) 
Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           
Hello, I am Bella in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie, and I might be five years old. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with all that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as difficulties... We are all rescues, so no one knows for sure our ages. I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog, they had said I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18, on clear out the shelters' day!Oh, by the way, my record's called me Belle, and so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!


Please don't forget me, I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am six years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with Mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps in with Dad, till after seven most days, even later! I enjoy a good tug-of-war on the ropes that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted, on January 23, 2020. 

I was wandering the neighborhood for days and then saw Aussie and Bella in their living room window, so I hung out there... The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening? 

The animal control lady was called and came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason being, that if no one claimed me, I want to give him a second chance! So that is how I got the name Chance!

Easy as Aussie, Bella, Chance, now you got it!
