You all have to watch CMT on Saturday night:

This is Meghan Linsey and Josh Jones- Steel Magnolia.

They are finalist in the CMT show Can You Duet

Josh is Doug's age and was in scouts with him.

I started at Littelfuse with his mom, Chris, 15 years ago and we worked together there.

They lived here in Oakland and then moved to Charleston.

Raymond and Steve grew up with Chris and her brother, Larry, who just passed away.

My sister in law- Susan- told me that Larry was her first serious boyfriend.

Isn't it a small world sometimes?

Anyway- just watch!

They are really, really, really good!

Rainy day fun...

planning ahead a little here...won't be long though...making tags...
I really like this one...put a hole at the top and ribbon through it...then set it in a floral arrangement...or in a group of other things...or in a wreath...

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend ... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present-love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure-the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth.

Rain moving in this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow:

so Craig and I sat outside for awhile today...
we got the beans pulled last night and it all mowed off...

some of the things we moved around yesterday...

redneck windchimes...proto- type...if they work I will paint them...

and sadly..Bebe had a hair cut appointment...

we could make another dog out of this...

he just lays there and takes it...

and the end result...an hour and a hotdog later...

I left his ears long this time...as long as he doesn't get ear infections...he looks cuter...but if he has problems its back to bobbing the ears short again...
