Rainy Days and Mondays :(

It has rained here all day...i guess it is better than snow...which is what the rest of our state is to get over the next two days...i just do not like snow anymore..i hate to drive on ice and snow since we have moved to kansas...they just do not clear roads out here...i really think that they do not know how...

this year i will post pictures of our roads during the snow and ice we get...and i will also say...they rarely ever cancel school...it is really tough on parents...since most kids here are driven to school by their parents...

journey really wants a white christmas...since she believes that santa coming means snow...i do hope we get a little around christmas...but i have a lot going on and really do not want the icy roads...i think i have something planned everyday starting the 21st through the first of the year...between alan..michelle and myself...seems we have appts. everyday and we want to get some after christmas shopping in...of course...we need to stock up aunt mimi's morsels for cookie tins for sure...

it was funny to see maxi today in all of the rain...i have had her for a little over two weeks and it seems she has been here forever...in a good way...when she first came here she loved it outside...did not want to come in..but now she runs out and does her business and comes right back in...she does not like it outside anymore...i love that...she should have never been an outside dog...my heart breaks when i look at what conditions she had in the prior 4 1/2 months before coming to live in her forever home...she has completed our home and we all feel that way...even our other dogs love her...her sweetness really can not be explained...sometimes i am afraid she is scared to be a puppy...and then i see her finally playing with michelles dog...they love to play...does a person good to see her so happy...no puppy should be as good as she is...ok and she can not bark...she looks at our other dogs like they are stupid when they bark...i have read that some are barkers and others never bark...she lives with barkers...it will be interesting to see if she ever barks...she has added a very silent spark to our home and our hearts :) night all...
