My goodness!! We are finally moved in and YES! we are indeed home. How do I know this??
I know because I can find a place to take a nap in every room! I have birds to chase in the backyard. My food has gotten better-I now have lamb liver in my plate!! It is cool when it is supposed to be and the porch is warm when it gets too cold for me inside. I have three canine neighbors next door-there is Chloe, Shiloh and Bear. We all sniff our welcomes through the fence and Carol gives them dog biscuits almost every day-that way they don't say hello (bark, bark, bark!!) every time she comes outside.
Our backyard contains a plethora of rocks from the previous owner-Bob. Another way to know this is home, as Carol and Barney fell in love, walking across the rocky bed of the Paluxy river, eyeing more stones than each other (I hear the conversation went something like "You like rocks?" "Yeah! sure do!" "Cool......look at the picture on this one...." and the rest is history.) So this is the perfect place for them too. There are rocks all over the front yard, the side yard and all IN the yard-crystals, agates, sandstones and petrified wood-every shovel full reveals perfectly selected nuggets-all one of a kind.
There is also a metal canopy, supported by cedar tree trunks with several shelves that carefully display Barney's delicate collection of stones from EVERYWHERE!! and beside the canopy is of all things-a FORGE-hand built, from stone by- you guessed it -BOB! He was an iron worker as well.
So, just when I was wondering if this was really HOME-the new treadmill arrived yesterday. It filled up the last bit of space in the living room (I was so glad to see that MY chair wasn't sacrificed for the new arrival-whew!!).
Speaking of new arrival-seems I am supposed to be excited about this new kid coming to town pretty soon-they all call him Bryce-hear he is so special-we'll see......but for now...a nap is truly in order.
later
here at home-finally
jackson-texas dog, once again-YES!!!!
