A Lot of Work.....

This last week has been so busy. First cleaning up after that terrible storm.....some of my friends had flooded houses....and we were really close ourselves. I have been getting my dads house ready for an estate sale and then house sale and planning his 90th birthday party for next week. But when those things weren't happening we did manage to get some dogs out to a show or two.
We have been taking Onyx, Liesl and Adam out....they get along pretty well together. We have gone to two shows with these guys and they sure had a lot of fun and so enjoyed all the human interaction....but pictures speak louder than words!!

Dogs make good pillows too!!!

Adam on the way home....

Such a cute pic of Onyx I couldn't resist!!!

I'm hoping we will get in some applications for these sweet kids.....they all deserve wonderful forever homes!!!!
Keep us in your thoughts , seems we are going round 2 with Mother Nature this weekend....just what we need more rain!!!
Have a wonderful evening.......

A New Definition of Crazy....

I figure everyone now knows that Houston is screwed. 16 inches of rain in some parts of the city....where I am in the northwest part of the city I have about two square miles I can drive , everything is completely covered. I can't get to my rescue dogs to help and worse I can't even get to my Dad to visit him. The pictures I have are from my general area....the sad part is it's supposed to rain again today and the creeks around me are continuing to rise...after more rain I don't know what will happen.

The street my Dad just moved from....

From the driveway....

Grant Road.....

There has never been water on the streets of my Dad's old subdivision.....that's with about 5 hurricanes and tropical storm Allison......
The worst for me personally is that my son came to visit on Thursday from Michigan. We had a great evening and he left to visit some friends in Austin Friday but was coming home for the next few days yesterday. Of course he couldn't make it and there might be a chance that he will just have to go straight to Michigan without coming home again.......damn rain.......
Please keep a good thought for all of us stuck in this mess.......

Bittersweet......

I've been MIA the past couple of weeks......very busy. About 3 weeks ago my Dad decided to move into an independent senior home. He's been living in that house for 42 years....but in the last few days since he's moved he seems very happy. I know he hated living in that big house by himself....since my Mom died ten years ago he had the place to himself. We spent the last two weeks packing and getting ready to move and now I get to figure out how to get all the furniture and other things out of it and then sell it. I was happy he had no problem just walking away.....thought I was going to be ok too.....till yesterday. I realized I have spent every Christmas there for those 42 years as well as birthdays, thanksgivings and every other holiday and fun time imaginable. It was strange to think that all we will have now are the memories. I know change is good....this one for my Dad especially...we will all move on to a new phase in life.....
I wanted to post a pic I found just last week when I was cleaning out some drawers.....

This is a pic of my grandma, me , my son and my dad about 25 years ago. Those blinds and wallpaper are still there!!!
Here's to moving forward.......
