We just returned from a quick trip down to FLORIDA see my brother and his family before
THE BIG DAY – TOMORROW
when ….my niece Haley heads to college..leaving them with an empty nest.
***************************
About a month ago…my sister-in-law Malena and her eldest, my niece Nina went to a HUMANE SOCIETY fundraiser ….on their street…complete with Puppies and kittens and wine.
The fundraiser was a roaring success! Malena and Nina came home with not only a puppy but also a kitten!!!!
Nina plans to take the kitten named PENNY, the sweetest and most affectionate kitten I have ever met…(and I have met MANY kittens)……to college. Tate fell in love with Penny.

THE PUPPY NAMED “SAMMY” STOLE EVERYONES HEART!!!! HE IS A HALF LAB AND HALF GREAT PYRENEES!!! A WOOLY SNUGGLE BUDDY WHO IS ALL ACTION UNTIL HE FALLS ASLEEP….MUCH LIKE HIS PUPPY COUSIN BEAN!
SHORTLY AFTER THEY BRUGHT HOME THE PUPPY, MY SISTER IN LAW SENT ME A PHOTO Of HALEY WITH SAMMY.
I PAINTED IT FOR HER GRADUATION GIFT!
