Early yesterday evening I was on the deck watering the flowers and tending to the flower pots.  The house next door has 4 young children, ages 5, 3, 2, & 1.

Well did you think I wasn’t coming back or lost the way to my blog? Nah not a chance. Where to start? The flight down was not the best but I got there safely so that’s all that really matters. I’m on the plane and they close the doors for take off and we sit [...]

Just like I said on Monday it will go from AC to heat all in the same week. Well that sure was right on the mark! Switched over yesterday. Poor little Poco does not know what to do! Open the door for him to go out and he tries to dart back  inside the house.  Only if [...]
