Y’all know that we’ve been on the road

a bit these last few weeks ---

Lots of work travel for me, along with some fun travel with family and friends… 

And then MORE work travel for me and my sweetheart… 

[We love the early morning streets of New Orleans - ]

So we tucked a little beach time in between some of it…

[A very windy time at The Gulf.]

When we got home early Tuesday afternoon we found this one 

believing she was the queen of the house. 

[And, while she is, really, we don’t always want her believing THAT. Ha.] 

Seems our house / kitty checker didn’t quite get the door closed to her area, 

and in their defense, KittyLou has become quite adapt at opening doors... – lol -- > 

No problem since she could still get to her litter box[es] – whew!

We went by to pick up the tiny dog on our way into town… 

and this has been the longest we’ve left her in ages…

It was sooo fun to watch [and listen!] to her yip and yap as she ran smiling through the house when she got home! She was truly happy to be home with us once again.

Everyone who's had a dog knows they can smile, right?

 We were so happy that we got on the road early enough to have time at home to get the car unpacked [really wish I’d gotten a photo of our packed car – HA],  laundry done, mail picked up, AND yard work completed!! 

 

YES! Double lawn mowers!!

We even had time to go to the local Farmer’s Market 

and catch up on a couple of our recorded TV shows.

  Having the afternoon to re-group helped us be ready to start another busy work week.

I know I say this over and over – we love our busy lives, yes we do. 

But we also try [our best] to be very INTENTIONAL about 

seeking out the good things in each day. 

 Look for it!

There’s always something to be grateful for – 

We just need to slow down enough to see the gifts given to us each day!
