Look What I've Got.....

 

I'd like to thank my good friend Erin from Slice o' Heaven for so generously offering to help me with my very own custom signature for my blog.  She made this wonderful graphic for me today for which I am eternally grateful. I have met some of the BEST people while blogging and am awed by the generosity and love that has been shown to me and my family over and over again.

Please head on over to Erin's blog to let her know how fabulous I think she is and see her absolutely terrific blog and her terrific family, including the most beautiful daughter, Charlie.

Thank you so much, Erin... I really appreciate all your hard work and love you lots!!!

My Emails Have Disappeared... AGH!!!

I have NO idea what happened and I have no idea how to fix it, but I had fallen asleep around 5:30pm today {courtesy of some Yorkies waking me up at 2:15, 4:38 and 6:37 this morning} and woke up around 7:00 and started to make dinner.  Bill asked me what happened to all my emails, I must have been working really hard this afternoon.  When I asked him how many I had, he said 22, which I knew was totally impossible because when I fell asleep, I had over 400 ~ yes, you read that right, FOUR HUNDRED!!!

So after dinner, I tried looking for them everywhere on AOL and I couldn't find them anywhere... not in the recently deleted file, not in the old file, nowhere.... I searched the AOL Help database (what a waste THAT was) and I cannot find them anywhere. I don't know if this has anything to do with the problems I had last week with the person who hacked my emails and did some spoofing, but I don't think so because I have changed my password and don't see anymore evidence of spoofing, but who knows anymore.

Of course, while I was sleeping, one of my "minions" could have done something that I don't know how to undo:

So, if you sent me an email and I do not reply, PLEASE resend it to me so I can respond to you. I am not ignoring you, I love to talk to people and hear how everyone is and I try to respond to everyone who comments on my blog. I'm sorry if I don't get to you and please don't take it personal. Thanks for your patience.

Until next time..... Lorie

Fun with Five Yorkies

Do you know how hard it is to get 5 dogs to to look at a camera at the same time?

Why I'm finding it hard to get any work done.....

The Perfect End to a Day

There is no better way to end the day than sitting on the porch with the people, and puppies, you love enjoying a gorgeous sunset.  I just had to share it with you.....

Hope you had a great day, too.

Please Forgive the Look of My Blog

I'm working on redesigning my blog... all on my own, so please forgive any snafus over the next couple of days (at least I hope that's all it takes) as I rework the layout. I'm not super proficient at computer work, so I'm just winging it... any advice anyone has will be greatly appreciated.  Also, if you notice something isn't working or if there is something missing, please let me know. 

I know that some of the older posts are going to overlap on the layout and I haven't quite figured out how to fix that without going back and redoing that, which I don't really have the time for, so... I guess... live with it. TeeHee.  Thanks for your patience and again, if you have any suggestions or advice, feel free to let me know.  Have a great week.

Until next time..... Lorie  {That reminds me, does anyone know how to do a custome signature????}

Where Do Five Yorkies Sleep?

Right with mommy, of course!

This can make for some really cramped quarters because Bill and I only have a queen size bed.  We are lucky that they all don't want to stay in the bed all night, but Maila (the littlest one) stays there all night.  The rest tend to get up and down all through the night - it can make for a very fitful evening.

But if you look at these faces, you can understand why I cannot get upset with them.....

Not sure how much longer the extra three will be with us, but I am definitely in love with each and everyone of them (not so much picking up the little "presents" they are leaving on my carpet) and I don't mind having them here and doing my friend the favor.  So there will be more photos... wait for the ones of the BATH!!

Until next time..... Lorie

Orphaned Manatee Cared for at SeaWorld Orlando

I saw a story on the news the other day about a 3½-foot, 41-pound orphaned manatee who washed up on the shores of Daytona Beach who is now being taken care of by the wonderful people at SeaWorld Orland.  I then found this adorable photograph on Cute Overload that I just had to share with you:

Cowboy Lil' Man is Four Years Old

I got the latest photo from my daughter-in-law of our grandson Lil' Man taken on his 4th birthday.  Isn't he just the cutest little ham?  I think he has really taken to living in Texas quite well, wouldn't you agree?  Boy do we miss him and his parents SO much.

Until next time..... Lorie

I'm SO Happy - Today is National Milk Chocolate Day

I have NO idea who proclaimed July 28th as National Milk Chocolate Day, but you know what, I DON'T CARE!!  I discovered it while reading the news on the web today and saw an obscure article.  So, I just think we all need to celebrate in a HUGE way.  We can indulge because according to candyusa.com 1.4 ounces of milk chocolate has only 210 calories -- that's not much at all, hey, we can make a whole day of it:

• 
  
  Breakfast: Special-K chocolate cereal
• 
  
  Lunch: Peanut butter & Nutella sandwich
• 
  
  Dinner: Hot Fudge Sundae with Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

(Don't forget to have some M&Ms as a snack in between meals)

I'm set for the day... how about y'all???  Have a great day before we all pass out when the sugar high wears off... TeeHee

Until next time..... Lorie
