We will be looking for a book . Misadventures of Ladee in Montana. Followed by Ladee learns to ski. Then Ladee raises a bear cub. Ladee arrested for hatching an eagle egg in her bra. Skiboarding was not for Ladee. Then you will become famous for your art with exhibitions all over the US and Europe. Even Queen Elizabeth may buy a few pieces for her collection and you will be invited to tea on the palace lawn. You will have to squeeze those poor old feet into some decent shoes for that. Love ya

Book, it won't be anytime soon..... so I get to spend at least one more summer in this awful heat.....maybe that's what I'll do spend summer in Montana and winters in Texas..... ya, that sounds good..

And yes this young lady is a treasure in my life...... we have some very deep and philosophical conversations and I miss that with her..... and laugh.... OMG.... we both have a very twisted sense of humor..... we'll see how the hubby adjusts to that !!! LOL.....

But I just live in today.... have today to deal with..... my oldest granddaughter will be here tomorrow for two weeks.....can't wait to see her and get and give hugs and kisses...... I miss her a lot.....

And Book, I'm pretty sure my life will not take a magic turn around... so if this comes to pass, it will probably be 'misadventures......love ya

Red, sorry about MIL's dog. I figured it wiggled into your heart when you were determined to "straighten" him up. And how happy you were when you saw him improving. If you hadn't truly cared for that dog, you wouldn't have done so many things for him.

LadeeM - now that is one very touching, heartwarming gesture - to invite you into their lives. It shows how much she loves you, too. And her hubby, too. Montana and Texas are two drastic living conditions. You can tell us all your adventures And Misadventures in Montana - if that is where the shoe falls.

LadeeM - Wow is right. That would be a major change for you. We all know that you will make the right decision. How nice to be taken care of for once instead of the other way around. Hugs and milk chocolate!! Take care of YOU!!!

MIL dog Red died today...he has been a constant pain in the neck and I spent more time irritated at him than happy so it surprised me when I broke down and cried like a baby...very grateful that MIL didn't have to watch his last days. The little rat managed to wiggle his way into our hearts without me even realizing it. Not as hard as when we lost our dogs but it is still a sad day.

A&A, I hate watching the new with Mom as well. She has no comprehension of time or space. With fires here last year that were 60 miles away she was trying to turn on the sprinklers to keep the fire away. Then, starts worrying about the safety of her little girls! GRRR!

Shilo... they are young..... no health problems.... it would be ME being taken care of..... and no, I completely trust her...... and home has always been where ever I am at the time..... it wouldn't matter to me... but she knows me better than anyone.... and would not put me in a situation that wasn't good....but the way I live now...... in the Grapes of Wrath wagon...... hell, a tent would be a step up... she sent me pics of the view and she knows I love the mountains.... so I wouldn't care..... I trust her completely.....

No Assa, they are young... in their 40's.....LOL and yes, a lot to think about.... but I love this young woman and have had the blessing of being a part of her life for many years.... to watch her overcome obstacles that would have put me in the dirt.....for the first time in my life... I would be the one not having to worry or stress about the day to day things..... so who knows what God's plan is..... Even if I had this place to vacation at, it would be awesome...... we'll just have to see what happens.... at least I am not on this journey alone... I have all ya'll to do this with me.... love ya Assa...

LadeeM - What is with this little "wow"? I mean "WOW"! That is so wonderful to hear! Is there anyway you could work in a visit to see them and their new place? You could get an idea of what it is like there in Montana, etc. Give the idea some real consideration during and after your visit. Oh that is so exciting!
p.s. How is this couple's health now?

I was presented with a proposal today that has my head spinning.....no, not THAT kind of proposal.... that would be an immediate NO F'n WAY...... this one is awesome....
Years ago I had the blessing of being able to mentor a young woman that had more tragedy in her life than most anyone has in a lifetime... She was a ballerina for the New York City Ballet.... while she was there her mother was killed by a boyfriend and he then killed himself...... a few years later her sister was murdered..... and this woman amazes me....... certainly puts my little whines into prospective.....

The proposal.... her husband and she are getting a place in Montana..... and she wants me to come there and live...... and 'be taken care of'........ wowwww !!! How do I even put words on this.....we have a very deep connection and what a blessing this would be for me...... if it is meant to be, it will happen.... I would even leave my beloved Texas for this.....still trying to take it all in...... but wanted to share this with my AC family.... we don't get to share good news often..... and this is better than good news..... I am too cynical and jaded to get my hopes up.... but what a dream come true this would be..... thanks for letting me share..... love ya'll

Good for you Texarkana! And you might try giving the dogs coconut oil, it seems to help their skin...
Good luck!

Well folks , there might be some fireworks at the housetoday. Took mother's dogs to the groomers and this time I am having them cut the way I think they should be. It's a yorkie and a shih-Tzu. She can't or won't brush them, their hair is to long for this heat and they both love being outside. I live on like a minifarm and the things that yorkie can get into, oh god. I know they weren't bred to be outside dogs but they just love being outside with my dogs. The shih-Tzu has skin problems and it is hard for me to doctor him with all that thick hair. She will just have to be upset. I am not letting those little dogs suffer because she has some unrealistic idea of how they should look. They are not show dogs nor or they breeding stock, both are spayed and neutered.I pick up after them, I am the one that takes them to the vet. All she does is pet them sometimes and throw dog food on the floor for them.Good thing I am going to my therapist this afternoon because I should be picking the dogs up and bringing them home before I leave.I don't care, I am not letting her let these dogs be miserable in this heat. It's hard to clean stuff out of their hair for me after they have been outside and she certainly isn't going to do it. So god forgive me, I did it my way.Will update on how much trouble I am in when she sees them. Wish me luck.
