LIFE AT NIGHT IN THE BIG CITY?!!!

Tonight when Steve & I were leaving the church after prayer, I looked across the street and saw something that I would never think that I would see walking down the street in a big city! I saw what I first thought was two big cats, but another look I realized that it was two raccoons!! Raccoons right in the middle of Torrance, the southbay area of the 2nd largest city in America. . . .Los Angeles!! A few times I have seen a skunk out on that same street and ever so often at night, we have a possum that goes along our side wall of our house. Of course Dexter and Chaquita go wild going after him! The other night I was taking Dexter out on a walk around 8 p.m. and a couple of men from down the street were trying to catch a raccoon. . .right in our neighborhood! We are not on my parent's ranch in Louisiana but right in the middle of the city where there are no big fields or woody areas, but lots of concrete and buildings!! One thing I have learned is that Raccoons, Possums, & Skunks are all a part of life at night in the big city!!

Monday Morning Breakfast at Home!

There is nothing like the smell of bacon coming from the kitchen on a cozy morning! I thought I would make some bacon and eggs with toast today. Nothing like the creature comforts of home before heading out on a busy week! Hoping you all are having a great day!

Dexter the Landscaper!

I came home today to find that Dexter, our boxer, had rearranged the palms we had around the pool. Notice Dexter's way of watering the palms! LOL! You notice he is no where to be found in this picture, but let Chiquita (poodle) be photographed with the evidence. Just wait till his Momma comes home.....LOL!

He will be safe because this is the only proof that we will have at his effort at landscaping. It will be our secret!

Hope you all are having a great day!

Getting Old Is Different When It's You!

Getting older is so much different when it's you that's moving up in the age bracket. I was talking to a friend recently and asked him if he had turned 50 yet, he responded, "No, not until next year! But I just had an epiphany of growing older. My daughter had some music on that was "rocky", Gospel, but rocky and caught myself banging on her door telling her to turn that noise down. I stopped myself there in the hallway and said, I've just turned into my Dad!"

Those of us born in 1959 are very quickly approaching the half century mark, but it doesn't feel like 50. I am still young inside. Perhaps I am young ONLY in my mind. My body reminds me that it is well aware that 50 is very near. When my Dad turned 50 he was very old....but the 50 I am facing in about 14 months surely is not the same 50! I am so young! Ha! This comic strip is the epitome of the way I feel.....dumb mirror!!!!!
