some times there are things you have to do...

that you don't really want to do...

we had to talk to the police again tonight...

with a neighbor who has lost items also this last week...

this child is only 11...

his sister 6...

we are hoping for some kind of intervention...

help that we cannot give...

I have prayed for guidance with this...

we could have let it go...

but that's what everyone has done the last 2 years...

it's only getting worse...

and who knows where it could end...

I am praying that this turns these little ones around...

that it's not too late...

that it will make a difference...

that their parents will wake up...

and that they are not lost in the system...

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.

-James Barrie, Peter Pan

fall images...

a freshly tilled field...

winds blew a pot over...

and my son's floral arrangement fell out...

hanging ghostie guy...

the leaves are fewer...

the leaves on the persimon tree are about gone...

and we still haven't had a good frost...

these are bitter until it does

so- that's about this for the week...

just a tiny glimpse of things to come...

Doug and his friend came yesterday and added to my collection...

2 more friendly faces...

I have a thing for these, too...

the boys did show up as I was getting up to go take my nap...

but I did get it in...

the dog is groomed again and bathed...

but not much else got done...

they ate...

we talked...

and then they were gone...

but it was time for DH to get home...

and Craig had gotten home...

and then I got sick...

and that lasted several hours...

came out of no where...

and then it was gone...

DH got me a new juice last weekend...

Mango...

and is it good!...

but, I can't do it...

he is going to drink it for me...

so it's back to apple and grape for me...

boring but I need my vitamin C...

and it doesn't go from 0 to 90 in less than 10 seconds!...

BF and I had a terrible time getting on the WW link last night!...

I finally got in and she still couldn't...

so I got us both on...

when I went down...

I made a call to her from bed...

and she was going to get us both on...

but when I got up...

I checked real quick and called her...

while we were talking...

we both tried many times...

and as you can see...

I changed my background and header again...

and I so love this one!...

I may not change it again!...

so, need to do lunch now and may lay down awhile...

Bebe is ready for a nap...

Hugs!

She's mine!

Some of you out there want my designated shopper...

well...

you can't have her...

she's mine!...

bwaaaaahahhahha...

she does a really good job...

and I couldn't live without her!...
