dogs...or dog

It's been a long two weeks without Curt and he comes home today. He's been in Williston, ND working. I've been glad that I have Piney, little 9 lb dog that has been my walking friend. We got her about a year ago and I wondered if she would be able to keep up with the walking but it's me that is needing to keep up with her. She loves to walk and we can walk up the hills and she can just run. It's a fun time walking with her.

The smell of rain.

I know a lot of people like the smell of rain. I also heard one time that it's actually the dust that smells and not the rain. Anyway, I like the smell of it. We have had a lot of rain this spring.
Right now it is snowing but that's OK. One time I was reading in a Women's magazine a little article each month on the question...When do you know when you're living the good life? People answered it with things like, a ride in a limousine, a butler to serve my food, things like that. I would answer it with... I'm living the good life when I can sit and smell the rain.

HUGS

Hugs are such a little thing but can mean so much. There's nothing better than to have a hug from Curt or one of my grandchildren. Can't you just feel this hug? Lucky Hello Kitty.

Snowflakes

I love snowflakes, because snowmen come from them. I often wonder how many snowflakes to make one snowman. I wouldn't want to count, but look how cool snowmen are. No two are alike, just like the snowflakes.

Rides in the back of the pickup truck.

Even when I was a little kid I liked to take a ride in the back of the pickup truck. I don't really know why I like it now but it's just kind of adventureous. Sounds silly, but dust in your hair and teeth aren't as much fun these days but I still like the ride.

Birds...

I love birds...anykind, I love watching them, they are always busy sustaining life. They are always watching out for something to eat or something that might eat them. I like watching them pick up a worm or float in the breeze. In Big Piney in the spring and summer we would watch a Sandhill Crane on her nest and the devoted father with them, what a family!

Holding hands...

Holding someone's hand is so simple. Curt always holds my hand, it feels so good to have him reach for my hand. I was reading in a Women's World magazine, that clasping someone's hand can slow your heart rate, and relieve stress.

baby toes

I love babies toes. They are so cute and little. I'm not quite like one of my friends, Nancy. She would see a new born baby and undress it just to see the toes.

Eternal Companion

I've been thinking for a long time about all the little things that I have been bless with. There have and are so many. The first thing is a wonderful husband, friend and eternal companion.

He brings so much joy to my life and I love the little things he does for me.
