Dixie showing mia who is boss

I mean really. I needed another dog like I needed a hole in my head, but how could I resist that face?
And this big ball of fur is my new puppy Mia. I think she is trying to hide my house slipper in the grass...I've been wondering where it disappeared to.
An updated picture of a grown up Dixie. She sure did turn out to be a pretty dog. I swear she is the sweetest thing in the world.
Mother's day dinner at the Japanese restaurant. Okay...I think our chef was trying to tell my dear hubby something. Can you guess what those are? LOL
Thank heavens for Huggles and Patches the clown. They totally saved me a couple of weeks ago. I decided that I would do free face painting for children at an arts festival. While I am not half bad (add a bit of glitteer to any design and kids love it) I was a bit overwhelmed. I probably had as many as 20 kids waiting on me from 9-1. I don't think I've ever been so happy to see clowns. They totally saved me by taking over and helping me face paint. I will forever be grateful to these clowns. Huggles...you will always be in my heart!

I haven't been posting much this last week. I've been trying to do something useful--get organized.
I have to work on that. Really.
Let's see. What have I been up to. Hired a new sales person, talking to a writer and a photographer that will make my life so much better. Last night we had a Cinco De Mayo party that I went to. The rain kept a lot of people home. However had some new friends show up and that was nice.
My friend Gail, also my charity director came home from the hospital last night. I'm so glad she is doing better. The woman never stops. She amazes me.
And I have written. I know, don't fall out of your chairs, but since May 1st I have written a minimum of two pages per day. They are crap but then I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. For so long I wasn't sure I wanted to write anymore. I wasn't sure that my skill was good enough to do justice to the pictures in my head but you have to push those thoughts out of your head and move on.
I also have another new puppy. Last week I lost Nikki. God, I miss her. She was with me for sixteen years. That's a long time to walk in the door and be greeted, a long time to have a warm fuzzy body curled up beside you on the couch. I had her before I had my daughter and I've not taken it very well.
I'll post some pictures...I still miss her. Everyday. Every minute it seems.
