Sister Cee Gets Her New Furniture.....

I held my tongue and kept her secret but now I can talk about it.  Sister Cee got her new furniture for her living room yesterday.  I went over this afternoon to see it and it's perfect!  She bought a wicker set (white).  It's a love seat, two chairs and a coffee table.  It's the perfect size and colors for her living room.  Her living room is on the small size so she had to be careful what she bought for it but this turned out absolutely perfect.  It makes it look like the area is a cottage in many ways.  The cushions on it are a dark shade of pink and her throw pillows carry the pink and grey that she wanted because of the big painting she has on the wall.  I wish I had taken a picture of it but I may have the Beast take one for me when we go to dinner at her house.

I was so pleased and happy for her that it was delivered sooner than she expected it but it gave the throw pillows that she ordered time to get there.  She had to search online for them and it wasn't easy to find.  But Cee has always seemed to find the perfect things and accessories for her environment.  Congrats, Sis!

The Beast went to the campgrounds today to take some pictures of the kids with the Princess.  She even took a couple of the Beast holding Gunner.  I'm going to share a couple of the best ones with you.  Here they are:







Yes, Gunner is getting brave and standing up without holding onto anything.  He'll be walking like a pro in no time!  You can see how old the Beast looks these days but he's not down and out yet.  Chewlee has her hair tied back (mostly because of swimming) and you can see her *elf ears* (as I told her that she has when she feels bad about them).  I hope she grows into them as she gets older but I suspect she will probably hide them....sigh.  But I love them both.  I think Chewlee is beautiful and Gunner is adorable.  I haven't shown you the pictures (a lot of them) where Gunner was crying.  His teeth are really painful for him and I hope they come in.....soon.  It will be another week before I see them both but I am patient.  It should be a nice day....I hope.  I just want the weather to be good for Chewlee's birthday party.  Sister Cee and I will be going together.

I was happily surprised that the Beast didn't give me a problem about driving over to Cee's without him.  He was already busy looking at the pictures that he had taken and I think it was the last thing on his mind at that point.  But it allowed me some time with Cee at her place and a time to totally relax and chat.  

Dennis and Di invited us over for dinner tomorrow and, of course, this time we are going.  The Beast can't beg off because of his leg and I am feeling good.  Besides, we have already turned down two other invitations.  They ARE good friends of ours and I don't want to offend them.  I enjoy their company and Di is a good cook.  It will be nice to visit them and catch up on anything new.  They have some friends that will be coming down soon and will be building their home on a lot adjoining theirs but in back of them (so they will be on the other side of the circle).  We met them a few months ago and they seem really nice.  We will probably be doing some socializing with them once they are here whenever Dennis and Di have dinner or a barbeque.  The two of them will be staying in the *barn* according to Dennis.  It has most of the amenities they will need while waiting for their house to be built.  Dennis and his buddy put in a loft for them when they were here so that will be their sleeping area.  It even has the hookups for a washer and dryer so that's taken care of....and it has both a shower and a toilet.  What more do you need?  LOL

It wasn't hot out today but it was pleasant.  It was 75 when I went over to Cee's but the temp had dropped to 67 on my way home two hours later (funny but it didn't really seem that long to me but then I was enjoying myself).  It was chilly enough that I kept the windows up to keep the *warm* in the car.  But I had to turn my heater on in my computer room when I started shivering.  I also put a light jacket on until the room warmed up.

The Beast is talking about finding a good home for Lady other than ours.  He says he thought he had it in him to train another dog, especially one that seemed so easy as Lady.  But she is proving herself to be a bit more than he can handle because she runs off into the fields when the Beast takes her and Baron for a run....and Baron follows her.  I don't know if he will actually go through with it because she has learned a lot already about proper house behavior.  She's just young.  A lot younger than we thought she was when the vet put her age at around 6 months to a year old.  I would put it closer to the 6 month area just because she hasn't had her first heat yet.  I think she's close because Baron keeps sniffing her private area with interest.  But he's neutered so we don't have to worry about puppies at least.  But there ARE other dogs around, which is why her running off bothers the Beast so much.    Oh well.  Time will tell.

Love you all.  Have a great weekend.  Do something different if you can.  Smile a lot.  Life is short so enjoy it while you can.  ***Hugs***
