off we go to bring Tara home!!


tonight we travel to Bandera Texas, Cowboy Capital of the World (I kid you not) to go adopt a lovely friend for our grandpuppy!! We are so excited. She was 'tutored' this week and will be ready to come to her new home tomorrow.
Tara was found as a stray. She appears about 2 years old and weighs in at a healthy 60 lbs. She is very sweet girl and loves to wag her butt for attention like boxers do. She is a Boxer-pit mix, which should go well with our mastiff-pit mix.

Sad Part now... CCPAL has lost their grant and will be closing the end of this year, allowing a "Kill Shelter" (how do those two words even GO together?!?) to take over the space. At last count there were still 46 cats & a dozen or so dogs needing homes... Please help if you can! Adopt, Foster, donate to your local shelter...something!! Otherwise, these & many more around the state will face the needle....

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
