Waking up next to Stacy & getting to spend another day in love with her

Realizing that today is Mom and Pop's 49th wedding anniversary. Good grief I can't imagine having lived with either of them for 49 years.

*Smoking my pipe;

*Being home with my furkids to love on them;

*Watching Sons of Anarachy again. I just love this movie.

My little gang of frogs are sheer, pure joy!!!

Late last night, Tootsie finally ventured down to the big frog water bowl where Miss Myra was having herself a leisurely midnight soak. Myra dwarfs little Tootsie and when she's in the bowl, she's even bigger because she sprawls out in order to absorb more water. Well, little Tootsie sat on the rim of the big water bowl for about 15 minutes, looking at Myra (who was looking at her) and trying to decide if she really wanted to venture in.

Finally, Tootsie gingerly climbed in beside Myra and I got a little antsy watching all this, because I always wonder if I've filled the bowl a little too much and it might be too deep for little Tootsie with her missing right back foot. I have always held a little fear in my heart that she wouldn't be able to get enough traction to get out, if it was too deep. So, I pulled up a chair and waited to see the result of all of this. Tootsie snuggled in next to Myra and then the both proceeded to stare AT ME!!! Four little black eyes fixed on me as if to say, "Whatchu lookin' at??"!!

Tootsie sat with Myra for almost 2 hours in the big water bowl. Oh, and all during this time, Ivan was sitting on top of the new big waterfall watching all of this. So, make that 3 sets of little black eyes on me. Finally, I guess little Tootsie had had enough soaking and was ready to climb out. I held my breath. At first she clamored around a bit, trying to get traction, but then I saw a little hand fly up and land squarely on the top of Myra's head. Tootsie climbed right on top of Myra's back and head (she's a BIG girl) and hoisted herself out of the water. Myra just sat patiently and allowed her to use her as a "step stool". It was the cutest thing you could imagine.....one big girl helping the little "sister". Myra is so sweet, gentle and accommodating. She's really been the heart and soul of The Big Frog House. She is my "First Frog", in every sense of the word. They simply don't get any better than her. She HAS to have a Femme soul.

So ya.....Frogs. Pure Joy.

Took a brisk walk to the bank at lunch...not a long walk about 300 years each way but quite an accomplishment since I've been somewhat under the weather lately.

Andrew, Jr. · 03-09-2011, 03:48 PM

*Talking with my adopted sister on the phone for 2 hours;

*Having my neighbor fix my brakes really cheap;

*Smoking my pipe while talking with my furkids;

*Going to Mass today since it's Ash Wed. (or the 1st day of Lent);

*Dropping off the dry cleaning & getting the 2 for 3 price - woohoo!

sylvie · 03-09-2011, 06:39 PM

- getting a brand new washer i bought delivered today...its a beauty, i've been washing everything in sight! LOL..

- hearing the laughter of my daughter and her friends over the loud music and constant chatter.. music to my ears, most days.. small things i'm really appreciating as they grow older, especially.. for soon, my children will be out on their own on life journeys of their own!

- a day in conversation, real time gazing, many smiles, being tucked in..& then watched over as i sleep...

- fresh pineapple & strawberries & melon - yumm'ish!

Miss Scarlett · 03-10-2011, 08:42 PM

Arwen · 03-10-2011, 11:42 PM

Today I found joy:

While watching my dogs play with a toy
While pushing my dogs off the couch so they could jump back on and tackle me
While dreaming about my D
While simply breathing

I'm truly so full of joy that I cried today just for the sheer beauty of being alive.

Finding an old dear friend and ex-lover on Facebook, today. I think we started dating when I was 20. Maybe I was 19...I know we were together when I turned 21:-) Mutually lost phone numbers, unlisted phones, new addresses...Thank goodness for FB.

I am a happy Femme to be able to have solid friend connections now, with three of my exes.

*I built a blue bird house 12 years ago, and today I was just glancing out the back window, and I caught a glimpse of a little head peeking out of the house!
