Happy 11-11!!

Today is 11-11. Eleven eleven has always been a "thing" for me. A special number. Not necessarily a "lucky" number... just a special number. I can remember seeing 11:11 as a kid on signs or even seeing 1:11 or 111 or 1111... on signs, a digital clock is the most common sighting.. It has been a "thing" of, well a positive feeling... or a "sign" that all is well. Psalms 91:11 says that angels are watching over us and protecting us... My friends Cindy and Dale both have a "thing" with 11:11 and 1:11 (1111 & 111, etc...). Cindy is my best friend. Second only to my husband, a given that he is truly my bestest friend in the whole universe, and any universes beyond... Cindy called me tonight to wish me "happy 11-11".... and of course we had a wonderful chat!!

If there is anyone out there who reads this blog and has a special "thing" with 11-11 or 1-11, 11:11/1:11... please leave me a comment and let me know. I met a girl at Wal-Mart; she was scanning my items... my amount due came to $11.11. I told her that was my special number, and she said it was for her too... and we had a lovely chat... about our number thing and how weird that is.... Anyway... if any of you have a "thing" with these numbers, just let me know. I think it is weird, cool, uncanny... etc...

Happy 11-11!!!

Livin' the Dream...

I have thoroughly enjoyed the fall weather. I can tell such a huuuge difference between here, down South, and up north in Warsaw. Today was November the 4th and we were grilling outside, and I was wearing flip flops!! The sun was soooo warm, and the breeze was cool. A GORGEOUS day!!!

We got a call from a GRFT representative today. I sent out the application this week. She was following up on a reference, who she could not get a hold of... I gave another reference. Yes, these folks call references to make sure we are good people... before we can get a dog. They will also do a home visit before we get a dog...before they will approve our application. I don't think this is strict... I think it is good. When people get animals, sometimes they don't realize what kind of animal they are getting.... Such as, dogs have different breed types that are bred for different reasons, purposes... Greyhounds are naturally lounge dogs.... but, do need a bit of exercise. Kinda like me... Other dogs, such as Jack Russell Terriers, need a lot of exercise. Caesar Milan says that every dog need exercise, which is the key to a mentally and physically healthy dog. I am excited that GRFT is checking up on us, and our application is up for review. Not much longer until we get a new family member!! I know our cats are looking forward to that... Ha!!

We will be heading up to Warsaw for Thanks-Christmas-Giving with the Wilhites. I am looking forward to our trip. We haven't been up there since we moved down in May. I miss our friends and family and most of all, I miss our church! We plan to stay long enough to catch the morning service the weekend of Thanksgiving. Whooo Hoo!

Blessings to all!!
