{the above... tune, reminds me... of my Dad... and my Beloved... 'Hounds'. <3 I've been so Blessed to have been...

Loved...

by....

throughout...my life. 

When the Storm...hit... last week, I was working outside.

Polly was with me, for a bit.

It brought back memories... from a Christmas Eve.... decades ago.

I was 16.

I'd went to feed the Horses a 'Special' ration... for Christmas, then... the Old Chevy Truck... I was driving... wouldn't start.

It was sleeting... like... the other day.

Dolsey... my Beloved Great Dane... who was with me Always.......

 and I...

walked 5 miles...to Home.

The Sleet, felt like needles... in my face.... the entire walk.

{like... the other day... }

Dolsey.... shivered.

but... we kept walkin'.

A Drunk... pulled over... and offered us....a ride.

I 'Thankfully' : )... declined.

pointed to a house....in sight...

said...

"That's we're headed... : ) but, Thank You."

: )

She and I... walked another 3 miles.

then...

were Mighty Thankful.. to Snuggle... in our Warm Bed!!!!

<3

yes...

Old Dogs...

Children...

and...

Wine...

of Any Kind!!! }

: )

<3

Got this Old Chandelier... Lit Up...and Cleaned... today!

This little area.... has been a Fun... Transformation! 

Polly came with... down the rabbit hole, yesterday.... before Sunrise.
{Lord Knows... I had Mountains... to get through.. before the doors opened. }

The rabbit hole... is warm... but... not the floor.
so...
threw down another hooked rug...for My Girl...: )
then...
I thought... maybe... she needed a 'cover'...
: )
Vintage Pillowcase.
{that's headed to the house... I bought several... recently, at an Estate Sale...
and was unpacking...as I was working.
I LOVE VINTAGE PILLOWCASES!!}
then...
thought...
she needed a Pillow... to rest her head.
{after all... in our bed... she has her Own... Pillow. : ) }
oh my...
Best Friend.
: )
I had to work.... in the area, she rested.
If...
I was beyond her sight... she'd 'have' to follow.
<3
I can't Move... without her... being Right There!!!
she Loves her Mama. <3
I... Love Her... too. <3 : )

3 feet.
That's as far... as I can get, before Polly comes Lookin'.
I just took this image.
Stood up...
so did she.
: )
Mama doesn't get far...away. : )
Best... Friend. <3

I took this image....
when I found my seat.
: )
oh my.
Our Presidents...
haven't had This... Kind... of Security. <3
