Happy March!

Hello hello-- happy March to all! This is an even crazier weather month than usual - and it's only March 5th! We had a record high of 81 earlier in the week. The Rickster wanted to turn on the AC!! Coming up this week, the temps will be in the teens and some snow forecast. OY!! Finally, we had some welcome rain last night and thunder! Thunder always make me think of our dear little Scottie, Muffy! She was terrified of thunder and I spent many a night sitting with her in the basement on the sofa with the tv on loud. Sweet baby! She was the best little terrier! Rest in Peace sweet Muffy.

Of course, Frannie the goofy doodle is a good dog too and thunder does not bother her in the least. Wearing a raincoat, however, bothered her a LOT! HA HA HA!

Last weekend when it was sunny and almost 70, Maddie was home. We spent Saturday afternoon at nearby outdoor mall in Omaha called Village Pointe. The place was hopping due to the lovely weather! So many stores there that we don't have in Lincoln. She found an adorable spring/summer dress at a store called Altar'd State. Bonus - it was on sale!

And we even stopped at the outlet mall on the way home. A little bit of retail therapy always does a person good, am I right??

What can I say about the Ukraine and Russia? My heart and prayers go out to their brave leader and all the people there. Every day I wake up hoping the situation has improved. And I have two very special friends with some dire medical issues and have been praying for them nonstop. I know there is power in prayer. We may not get the results we hope and pray for, but I know our prayers are heard. Sending love and prayers to all.

Who's Afraid of a Little Thunder??

Thunder!

The month of June has been filled with lightning, thunder and rain!

Guess who is afraid of thunder???

Miss Muffy!

Muffy had a recent visit to the spa -- she loves her new Scottish look!

It started last year around the 4th of July -

actually -- before the 4th -- too many loud booms!

Ever since, she has had her own little 

doggie Valium prescription to deal with fireworks

and thunder!

Looking a little shaggy before her grooming appt!

The past week I was up at least 3 times in the middle 

of the night (1 AM, 2:30 AM and 4:40 AM)

due to more thunderstorms!

It's like having a baby in the house!

She and I move to the basement and turn on

the TV for a little background noise

while I try to catch a few more zzzzz's!

I don't know how many episodes

of House Hunters she's watched on HGTV . . . 

but a LOT!

Hoping for fewer storms and a quiet

4th of July -- but in our neighborhood --

quiet on the 4th just doesn't happen!

Better get the doggie Valium prescription refilled!
