Baby It's Cold Outside!

It has been unusually cold here in the Metro Atlanta area.  I keep our thermostat on a crisp 69 degrees-cause my mom feels the need to blast her basement heat on 84-and so I am sure we get some of that upstairs too!  Anywho-my puppies are always cold-and wanting to snuggle.  Peet (my dog) is a tough one. He's survived the swift kick of a protective mama deer a couple summers ago, then that same year, in the fall, he narrowly survived a bite from  a Copperhead snake.  He likes to act tough-but he's really a softie-and will snuggle with anyone when he's searching for warmth.  Evidenced by the photos below-

He doesn't like to admit that he even really LIKES Penny-but he was searching for some body heat.  His ears are back-he knew I was coming with the camera. But he's a bit bored by my fascination of his secret love for the Pennster.



But he needn't feel embarrassed, or humiliated -everyone is searching for heat.


Lady is just more "laid" back about it!


And there's Peaches-the grump we all know and love. I am really offended that she stuck her tongue out at me. I'm planning a retaliation.........

Hope you are all staying warm! The snow and ice are still on the ground in places-and a lot of streets are still impassable due to the fact they are being used as ice skating rinks right now.  School is out in our county again-and if I'm not mistaken, I heard the frenzied cries of mothers everywhere last night when they learned their 4 and 1/2 day weekend is not over yet!
Warm hug~
Rhonda

Terrific Tuesday!

Today- Tuesday-October 12, 2010- (1 Corinthians 13:1-3) we will hold another medical clinic, where we will see and treat over 200 patients with the help of some doctors and nurses from Haiti. Patients will also receive food, and hear the Gospel. Many are saved through this ministry, which is totally a God thing-because Voodoo is very big in Haiti.  But through our team voodoo priests have been saved!! Isn't that amazing?  I think it is-so I hope I get to witness God working to make that happen! Please pray specifically for- ·      That every action, word, and thought will be done in love~ ·     For God to multiply their resources so that all needs will be met, both spiritual and physical        Miraculous healings and salvations     Talk to you Wednesday!!     Be Blessed~      Rhonda

The Way We Were~

Image
Mem'ries light the corners of my mind Misty water-colored mem'ries of the way we were Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were Can it be that it was all so simple then Or has time rewritten every line If we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we, could we Mem'ries may be beautiful and yet What's too painful to remember We simply choose to forget So it's the laughter we will remember Whenever we remember the way we were The way we were You remember this song, right? There was also a movie with Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford. A love story. Well, I've had a love story of sorts with my mom all my life. That's how it should be between a mom and her daughter(s), right?  I am so blessed that's how it was with me. My mom is an incredible person, and even though Alzheimer's disease has stolen her memories from her, they are still etched in my mind and hear...

Animal tales..........

I am back, did you miss me?  It's been a busy, weird, stressful but still good 4 months. I am sorry- I PROMISE never to be away that long again. My name is Rhonda, and I am an animalholic.  I know, I don't think that's a real word either-but it fits.  It's really mostly dogs, but I love all animals-some more than others (spiders are NOT considered an animal, right??). I could blame it on my mom, but I really think my father is to blame. After all, it is he who used to raise Beagles, for rabbit hunting. Sometimes we had 30 dogs (including puppies) at once. My sister Kellie and I quickly became addicted to puppy breath. They should really just go ahead and make a body spray out of that ever-lovin stuff! Anyway-my Dad would leave for work, and tell us "Now don't ya'll go and ruin those pups." What he really meant was this, "Don't go in the pen and love on 'em, and pet 'em, let them crawl over and lick you, and make them pets instead of wo...
