Good Bye My Precious Pomeranian 1997 - 2010

My precious little 4 pound Pom died yesterday. She was 12 years old and a little ball of fur. I got her before I found out I was pregnant with Clifton. She was so little. Brookley and I went to a lady's house to see her. She was six months old and had broken her leg. The cast was off and she was running around everywhere. We took her home and she has been with me ever since.

She was really my friend. All the long hours I sit and work on school work, she was there. When I go to bed, she would follow. I even had to move her bed beside mine because she was trying to make a bed on the floor to be near me. When I would get up in the mornings, she would be ready to go outside. When back inside, she would stay with me in whatever room I was in, no matter what. She loved going to the mountains. Durning the long drive, she would sit in my lap.

I think she loved me a lot. I am going to miss her so much. I told my son today "don't forget to let Foxy out" before I realized what I had said. He looked back at me and said, "it's okay Mom, I know what you mean."

This is going to take some getting used to. Tears come when I think about her, but it is okay. I will forever miss my loyal pomeranian.

Beautiful Day

Ah, the beauty of the mountains. I am sitting watching a butterfly flutter around a beautiful pink azalea bush. The sun is shinning down on white pebbles lying quietly on the ground while the trees are making shadows all around. The American Flag floats in the wind across the road on a weather beaten porch. The creek is rushing down the winding path. The sound is music to my ears. The girls are passing the football and Clifton is fishing. He has caught six already today. I love being in the mountains on this beautiful spring day. These pictures were taken while walking along a path in the woods. Just beautiful!!!

Prom '10

Today has been a fun day. My daughter has been getting ready for the prom. Of course it reminds me of my proms. Going out to eat then to the dance. It was fun. I remember picking out the dresses. The one I remember the most was a red dress I loved in the store but it was missing something. I took it to the dressmakers shop and had rhinestones placed on it. It was perfect then. Proms are fun. It has been 24 years for me, but I still remember it well. Now I have a beautiful daughter going to her first prom. It is amazing how fast times goes by. It is true that we must enjoy every day, minute and second of our time together. Good memories are a treasure, to be sure!
