Interesting...

Received in an email:

At a meeting of the AARP (American Association of Retired People) they showed a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20 year old. The contest was Titled 'u @ 50'.

This video won second place. When they showed it , everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause.

So simple and yet so brilliant. Take a minute and watch it.






Enjoy!

My thoughts:)

If I Didn't Have Pets......

I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.

My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.

When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel.

When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there.
I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space
several fur bodies would need to get comfortable.

I would have money...and no guilt to go on a real vacation.
I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians,as I put their yet unborn grand kids through college.
The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE.

My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.
My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.

My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash.
I would no longer have to Spell the words B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E- E, W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, B-I-K-E, G-O,
R-I-D-E

I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.
I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog/cat ties them down too much.

I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading 'mud' season.

I would not have to answer the question 'Why do you have so many
animals?' from people who will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an angel as they will ever get.

How EMPTY my life would be!

Thanks Jill for posting this to Windsor Loving Homes....

Baby It's Cold Outside:)

Mike took this picture Yesterday Morning Around 9AM or so. (-16F = -31C) It had actually warmed up from -25F (-31C) when I went to work..... Oh and this is Fahrenheit btw...

So here's some new Snow Pictures from early on this week, before the -25 degree weather, and the dumping of snow we received today. The snow is officially higher than my front porch AGAIN. *Sigh* So grab a cup of java and enjoy the pictures:)
