Little Abbey really has it bad right now and I'm sure I'm due mine here sometime end of this week or early next week. I'm guessing the brunt will happen on Saturday so it deprives me the pleasure of enjoying a weekend.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-45527157202275250012008-09-22T21:16:00.000-04:002008-09-22T21:16:00.000-04:00Looks like a place I would enjoy visiting. :)Looks like a place I would enjoy visiting. :)Tim Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305530681191503858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-66773610333749779902008-09-22T17:37:00.000-04:002008-09-22T17:37:00.000-04:00I'd be a much better Christian if I lived where yo...I'd be a much better Christian if I lived where you live. :)Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560614073319109150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-16205869803571502982008-09-22T14:55:00.000-04:002008-09-22T14:55:00.000-04:00Sorry about the sinus pressure: I too, have been s...Sorry about the sinus pressure: I too, have been suffering.

The dog shook one day when I unknowingly brought over a newspaper, sat down and started reading it. Once I learned why the dog was trembling, I immediately ditched the paper and came back to offer a doggie food treat. It took about 15 inutes for the poor dog to quiet down. <BR/><BR/>Have a good week, Sage!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-44553206553920126642008-09-21T23:01:00.000-04:002008-09-21T23:01:00.000-04:00Keep doggy's hair for the birdies in the spring, t...Keep doggy's hair for the birdies in the spring, they love it for their nests!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583773305351498372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-18942677823157957972008-09-21T15:07:00.000-04:002008-09-21T15:07:00.000-04:00That is so wierd.
