Tuesdays with Tucker™ {The Westie}…Really?? Back to work…for me, too???

I am most certain that the “It’s a new year…back to work…holiday is over” mantra really does not apply to me…just yet.  I’m just sayin’…I mean I did have to get my rabies vaccination yesterday, and that makes my muscle oh, so sore.  I could think of a thousand other paw~si~tive~ly awesome reasons that it...

  • Hello Ann Margaret…I know I’m too late for your give away, but wanted to stop by and say hello. What a beautiful blog post with the perfect seagull pictures to accompany your words. Something as small as a smile really can make a difference. You’re right, sometimes it can seem so rare, so it makes those unexpected smiles even that much sweeter. Merry Christmas to you and your family!ReplyCancel

I usually want to do it the weekend after Thanksgiving but didn’t get it done…hoping for this weekend! 🙂 Gotta have time to enjoy it, and I so love having the lights on each night!ReplyCancel
