I'm back and ready to post

    Well it's been a hectic 4 months which is why I haven't done any posting here on the blog. I've made a few scrapbook pages and posted them on FB but even FaceBook is different now.  I took down the one FB page I had under my real name. And I won't go into the reasons for the long delay. Just know that I am in a little cottage like apartment. I'm on one half  of a duplex with 2 bedrooms, (1 of which is my storage of my Christmas boxes) and the other larger bedroom is for me and my Companion Dog. She's such a joy. She goes every where I go and when I'm driving she has jammed herself behind my neck. It doesn't interfere with my driving so I just leave her alone. It makes me sit up straight which is a good thing any way. And here's a picture of my little Fur Baby, named Phoebe.
   She's been pretty Mopy since I moved here. She's never been away from her mother since birth Sept 16 of 2016. And I can't run around in circles while she chases me so she just does a little backflip and scoots herself through the grass on her back. It's really funny to watch. This new house isn't fenced so she has to be on a chain. There's a back yard but it's so overgrown she can't play out there. She's a 'Hy-breed Chihuahua who is from 2 purebred parents. Mama is a Apple head Chihuahua and Daddy is a Deer Head Chihuahua. She got Daddy's coloring and markings but Mama's longer hair. She nestles over my head on the new Hospital bed from the VA which doesn't bother me any, once I'm asleep, I'm out.

    Anyway, I'm alone here in South Eastern corner of Washington State but my sister and one brother live just up the road about 50 miles and our youngest brother is going to be moving back to the Yakima area soon. He has a really neat dog name Bing Crosby who goes hunting with him and really loves to play in the snow. Maybe Phoebe can have a play date with him. Brother is moving from Northern Minnesota where 5 ft of snow in the winter is normal. He'll enjoy this area again. He and the other two siblings all graduated from Sunnyside High School and he's looking forward to rekindling school friendships.

     I'm missing my two ladies that I've lived with the last 5 years. Grand daughter, Bridgit got married last October and they are finally getting the chance to be a family in the Calif. area where Grandson-in-law works in the movie/TV industry building props and he also does some really wild makeup artistry for the movies. Great Grand daughter Olivia, is probably going to get into modeling again. She did it for awhile when they lived in Denver and was very good at it. She has grown into a beautiful young lady and I'm sure she'll be getting calls for some modeling again and one of her mentors in Calif. thinks she has a shot at the movies also. I really miss those two ladies. But they needed to be with the husband and father to make the family complete.

     I guess I've rambled on enough so I'll add in a few of the latest scrapbook pictures I've made.

 My cousin Shyanne Shirley and her daughter.
 My cousin Debbie and her daughter Natasha.
 This is Elijah, who calls me Nana and gives great hugs.

Time to check on Phoebe out in the front yard. Barking at people she doesn't even know. This town is a college town so there is a lot of bicycles going up the street and I've noticed that a lot of people just walk for the fun of it. Wish I could. My right knee doesn't take to walking. And the lungs that are polluted don't either.

Hope every one had a great 4th of July and no accidents with the fireworks.
