Monday Mischief

 of the river!

 We're watchin' you........

 That's it!  Get back to your own

FRONT YARD!

Throw-back Thursday...Our Friend Millie

Some of you may remember our friend Millie.
SHE came to live with her mum when her mum first became ill.
From the start, a  crazy girl, full of character.  She was there when her mum went through numerous painful tests to finally get a diagnosis (POEMS), then Chemo, stem-cell harvesting and transplants.

She'd  welcome the Home Care people who came to help shower her mum and clean the house;  nurses, and therapists.
With Bella, both puppies.
 She was always ready for a game when we came to visit.


Dui and Millie--was Dui ever that small?

She rode on the mobility scooter and wheelchair, when her mum needed them.

Well, her mum is much, much better at the moment, able to enjoy shopping and sewing and her new granddaughter.

Millie and her beloved ball.

But, Millie had to go to the Bridge the other morning quite unexpectedly.
We are a very sad bunch.

Garden Time...

SHE planted a small garden in our sun lounger.

 Last year SHE only had one tomato plant.  It was pitiful-- produced only 3 tomatoes and there was something wrong with each one.
 
 This year the little garden is back, and there is a NO SIBE fence around it.

 Like the one Lightning and Ciara have in their garden.

 But we don't have any Sibes....

Hmmmmmmmmm, it's a puzzle.

Note:  It's been one week and it is growing beautifully.
('Cute' cumbers--a small Lebanese type, Bok Choy, 3 kinds of tomatoes, red onions
and Marigolds to keep bugs away.)

It's Taco Day, Everyone!

Today is InterNational Taco Day!
Invented by Jazzi that taco-swiping scottie and
continued by Oreo, her little brother.
Jazzi                                                      Oreo
Thank you both!  
It's the ONLY day of the year we get tacos.


This year we had our traditional meat and cheese--we don't waste space with green stuff-- tacos this morning
as our after-river treat.
This official photo is sooooooooo hard.
Luckily, it was a one-take official photo and we were into them.
That huge scottie on the right is not all camera angle, Dui is a big boy.
This was our FOURTH Taco Day.  We just love it. 
Back in 2012, we won this little taco ornament.

We keep it on our special 'dog' shelf to remember our friend Jazzi--and tacos!
Hope you enjoyed taco treats, too!
