Be careful what you name your dog!!!!!
Okay, this is going to look boring--not up to my normal standards--but my computer is acting up and I'm on a stand-by computer--so the graphics aren't up to my normal standards--but read on......................................................
In the mid-seventies to mid-eighties--we were living in our first house--loved the house--not the best of neighborhoods!
I've always had dogs--and finally we weren't renting--and we could have a dog!
We lived on Carson road--a small two lane road--and then we found out why we got the house so cheap--they made it a 4 lane road with a turn-lane--we lived on the corner--so luckily--our garage was on the side street!
They took a lot of our front yard and add to it by putting in a sidewalk (there was an elemetary school across the street) I'm not saying they ran out of room, but there was a phone-pole right in the middle of the sidewalk---glad I wasn't blind!
I'm not saying they took all our front-yard--but we did have to push the cross-walk button to go out and get the mail!
Okay....now to the fun stuff!!
We rescued this dog from the Humane Society! We named her Brown Sugar--because her color was the color of brown sugar when it got old!! We just called her Sugar!!!
Most of our gatherings were at my older sisters--she had small kids and a bigger house, so Sugar wasn't use to being around anyone but us!
One day when they where moving some of the gas line around (because they where taking all of our yard) a man knocked on the door and asked if I had any gas appliances--they were shutting of the gas for about 4-6 hours!! Great--my sick day and no hot baths-no doing laundry--amazing what you suddenly miss!! Anyway--he went downstairs, shut of the furnace, checked the dryer and then the hot water tank and upstairs to shut off the stove and oven!!
No grilled cheese sandwich--my favorite when I'm sick!
I had brought Sugar inside, because all she was doing was barking at the guys working.
She sat with me on the couch. When I was in the kitchen, she would curl up in a ball under the kitchen table.
Well, the guy came back and went downstairs to light all the pilot lights and then back upstairs. I was in the kitchen, preparing things for dinner--needing the stove--so I was very glad to see the dude!
He opened the ovendoor and was on his knees with his head inside the oven and out of the side of my eyes I see Sugar--stand soo close to his hind quarters, with her upper lip peeled back and I see nothing but TEETH!!!
I yelled out, 'LAY DOWN SUGAR!!!', and with that the guy looked up at me and said, 'what did you say, ma'am?'
I realized he didn't see the dog--and with me shouting her name, her tail was wagging wildly!
It had rained a little that day and the guy went outside and down into the muddy hole and I could hear them laughing wildly and pointing to the house!
Needless to say, I avoided going past the 'muddy hole' and took the long way around the block to do so!
I guess the moral to the story--be very careful what you name your dog!
Terry knew a gal that named her dog Dee-oh-gee or D-O-G! LOL--good one! I've spell that one out many times!

What life?!?
Okay, I have a 15 year old daughter very active in church and church activities, music and Christian concerts, wants to be involve in 'drama' (like she already isn't!) and now has made the Bob Jones High School Color Guard. I didn't realize that there was soooo much involve. These kids have like 3 weeks of intensive drilling and practice in Alabama heat in JULY! You REALLY have to want to do this for that kind of torture!
2008 SCGC Scholastic B Bronze Medalists and Alabama State Champions!
Great job Winter Guard!
Just a touch of what we will see this year! Games fall on hubby's birthday and Laura's 16th birthday--hope we win!
And if you've got time--this is last years--the theme was the Pirates of the Carribean!

The truth hurts............
I've always been fearful of comparing myself to others. My dad said we should walk like Jesus, not like the neighbors. This guy tells it like it is!
Read the Bible. If you have the Holy Spirit......He will speak to you and you will feel it!
