FLOWERS And MY FRIEND:GRAY

Today I'm joining my long time gal pal Dory from

Dory's Backyard

Happy Friday one and all...

TAKEN AT THE ORCHID HOUSE AT LOUIS GINTER BOTANICAL GARDENS IN RICHMOND, VA

The next two pictures were taken in Mom's friend's

yard. Stargazer Lilies in full bloom and the fragrance was amazing

Morning glory with dew

SURPRISE VISITOR TO OUR BLOG

PLEASE WELCOME

GRAYSON....aka GRAY

GRAY LIVES WITH ANGEL REMINGTON'S
BETH AND MIKE.

He was one of my very first blogging friends back in June 2009.

Remington went to the Bridge on March 4, 2013, he was 4.

Ironically, Gray was born 11 days later on
March 15, 2013.

When Mom and Beth spoke last week, Mom asked

Beth for some recent pictures of Gray.

All of these were taken on July 26, 2014.

Gray is just 16 months old and already weights
145 lbs. He has a gentle soul and loves his kitties
and family.

Beth said Gray wasn't

interested in getting in the water at all. OMDs
he must not know he is a Newfie! MOL MOL

He passed his puppy courses and he visits the rehab centers and nursing homes.
OF COURSE ALL THE RESIDENTS LOVE HIM.

We thank Beth for sending these gorgeous photos of her
handsome boy
and giving us permission to post them.

Thursday Things and Mayoral Nominee Reminder

Just seconds before this photo session

Dad was ~~frantically searching~~ rummaging through these drawers

for what I know not.....

But it was my duty to sit here to offer moral support

(evidently his search turned up nothing)

Mom and I decided to introduce you to Zip

the Original Beanie Baby Cat.
If you remember Beanie

Babies, raise your hand!! Ahh I see a lot of hands.
You guys are telling your age! MOL

They were quite collectible for many years. They all had
official birth dates, Zip's is March 28, 1994

We only have this one because:

1)Mom thought Zip's

pink nose was adorable....little did she know one day

she would have a Diva with a pink nose. He was

a member of the family long before I arrived!

2) Mom loved the little verse that is on Zip's ear tag

"Keep Zip by your side all the day through

Zip is good luck, you'll see it is true

When you have something you need to do

Zip will always believe in you"

In this life it is very important to surround yourself by

those who have faith and believe in you!!
