“Zzz…BEEP! …Zzz-OH!...BEEP!...Zzz-UGH!...BEEP!...Zzz-Nooo!”
That is the sound of me, Cookie,
and my dog, Krumbs,
snoring and screaming
as we are shaken from the
depths of a really
great sleep by the nasty beeping of our alarm clock—yep, I admit it, the idea
of being thankful just drifted away because we were so, so tired!
Was
it the same way at your house this morning?
We’re up now…we’re up!
We’re ready to go to school—sort of, ready, anyway. We just had such a great five days. We
celebrated THANKSGIVING and then we had such
a long vacation…great food, tons of fun with family, followed by amazing lazy days. We felt like we were
“Living the Late Life” of summer all over again!
One of the best parts of the whole
week was that I had the chance to go horseback riding twice! It was so awesome to see the horses again…and
Krumbs had the chance to hang out with the other barn dogs. They raced around, chasing mice in the barn
and racing across the polo fields—the whole experience was truly just puppy paradise for Krumbs! We loved visiting with our friends from the
barn and we couldn’t believe how much fun we had. Krumbs says he would definitely switch to mouse menacing instead of chipmunk chasing, except there are no mice
hanging around our yard. I think they’re
on to Krumbs—they know to stay hidden!
Have you checked out the Café
recently?
We did!
I found a terrific new poem by Laura Wolfe called “A Horse for AnnieMae”. It is perfect for me because I was feeling a
lot like Annie Mae after I left the barn yesterday. I wanted,
needed, "had to have" a horse of my own. Annie Mae wants a
horse too…until she finds out way too much about keeping horses! Does this sound a
little like you, too? Check out the story by clicking here.
Krumbs and I hope your holiday
weekend was wonderful and we hope it was easier
for you to get up today than it was for us!
Enjoy your week and check back again soon…
