time flies

Seems like forever since I've set here and let you in on my day.
So much has happened the past few weeks. The most heart breaking was losing my uncle...my hero (besides my Daddy). There is not enough time or pages to tell you just how special and proud I was of Uncle Boyd. In a nut shell--he gave the Marine Corp 32+ years of his life, wonderful husband and father of four. He is an example of what a Marine is and should be. I miss him and even though I didn't get to spend enough time with him a piece of my heart feels like it has been broken off. When I would phone him he would always answer, "is this my punkin?" Camp Lejeune has to be a lonely place now.
I salute you... Sgt. Major Boyd Brummett, USMC Retired

The Red White and Blue Festival has come and gone. Things went well, better than I thought they would. I had more jobs dumped in my lap but----I am woman....did you hear me roar??? This was my 25th year to be part of the festival and when it comes to the festival there is not much that I can't get done. Most of the time I can do it blind folded. Your thinking--well, is she bragging--No, I have done it so long that I can do it in my sleep.

Miss Lily's puppies are growing. They are six weeks old and fun to play with. Miss Lily was at the vet yesterday (Monday) for surgery...it was determined that there will be no more puppies for her little body. Lo and behold she is a hell of a lady....seems her and Bristol was doing the nasty while she was nursing the puppies. The vet just scratched his head and said that's not normal. But Bristol being the stud that he is..... The vet said she was about 3 weeks along. It was determined that Miss Lily might not live thru another pregnancy so we decided to abort the litter. Lily is a very precious little girl.
Lets see has there been anything else......well if you count the folks who toss aside responsibility, kids who have no ideal of what respect is, drama queens, grown adults who try to stir up trouble and make up stories just to start trouble, folks who don't pay their bills on time and the normal idiots who try to sell you stuff on the phone. Other than that I think that brings you all up to date.
I need to water the flowers outside the shop and take Miss Lily home. Her and I are going to kick back in the swing on the back porch and let the world pass us by for a few hours........
