TUFF'S EXCITING LIFE

I have a very talented dog. Tuff is one strange dog. He is such a roamer that he has to be on a chain most of his day. He loves to go down to the chicken house and get into stuff. The people that help with the egg house get very excited when he comes for a visit. Especially since their fluffy little Sasha came up with four little ones.

I have another problem with Tuff. He loves to take his bedding out of his house. Since his house has a wooden floor I nail the bedding down so he can’t do this. I do have a pillow that I put on top so he will have a fluffy bed to do his relaxing and he insists on taking it out. As you can see from the pictures he loves his pillow and will play with it, never tearing out the stuffing, and does all of his major naps on the pillow.

JR. LADY OUTLAWS COME IN SECOND IN LOCKESBURG TOURNEY

Madasan's team came in second in the Lockesburg tournament last Saturday night. They have had a great season but failed to play well in the final game of the tournament. Kirby beat them quite soundly. You can tell by the expressions on their faces just how excited they were over their loss.

GIRL'S NIGHT OUT IN NEW YEAR

All Smiles...

We had our first Girl’s Night Out for the new year. (I don’t know how much longer we are going to be able to call it Girl’s Night Out with this old broad along. It has been a few since I was classified as a girl…oh well!) Anyway, we did have a ball.

We left the elementary parking lot around 4:45, arrived at the Texas Roadhouse at 6:00 and enjoyed a great meal. Finally we left for the movie. We went to see It’s Complicated. Funny!

A CONTRIBUTION FROM A SMART LADY

Maya Angelou said this:

'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'

'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'

'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'

'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'

'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'

'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back....'


'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'


'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one..'

'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.'

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn..'


'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'

(I have read these many times and find them so full of wisdom that I thought I needed to add them to my blog. I am not one filled with such beautiful words but have always appreciated those that were.)
