“As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder, Writings to Young Women from Laura Ingalls Wilder - Volume One: On Wisdom and Virtues

I am having a Christmas in July auction on my Facebook this weekend if anyone is interested.
You can find it here~ CHRISTMAS IN JULY AUCTION .Try to stay cool this weekend. The temperature here will be at 112 and we will have our sons dog Kimber~ a beautiful gray pit-bull.
They are going away for the weekend and were going to leave her in the kennel in the yard, but being so hot we decided to take her. We are not dog people so if you have any advice, please share. (we have a cat lol long haired Maine Coon Cat)
That should work out just great!!! Blessings~Sara
I love your pictures and love Laura Ingalls Wilder. I will have to blog about my bus trip to visit all of her home sites one day. Oh my, what an experience. I did love her homesites though. Kimber is gorgeous. Dogs cannot stand the heat. I board Dasko in an ac/heated kennel where he can run and enjoy. Right now he is lying close to an air vent.lol You are good grand puppy parents! Just love him
