I don't have a pic for this but I thought I'd share anyway.. On my way to work this morning I saw two of the sweetest examples of animal love...
The first.. There is a black & white dog that lives at the end of our road, some sort of pit or bulldog mix. Anyway, not sure he really belongs ot anyone but someone is feeding him. He has been around for atleast a year now, never seen him chase a car or cross the road without looking. This one particular house near the end of the road has 2 new puppies that like to chase cars. I know any day I'm going to come through and one will gotten run over. But this morning I passed this house and the black and white dog was standing between the road and the puppies. Facing the puppies almost like he was telling them to not chase the truck. I watched in my mirror as I passed and as the puppies started toward my truck the black and white dog jumped at them almost as if to get on to them. Like he was protecting them or trying to teach them not to chase cars. It was really awesome.
Then I passed by a pasture on Hwy. 9 where a mini horse was laying on the ground while a cow rubbed it's back with her nose. Scratching her itch.
I love animals.

AfTeR thE sTOrM!
Today's weather was AWFUL! Storms & tornado's pounded the entire state of Mississippi... not to mention all surrounding states. Me and Molly ventured to Grandma Baldwin's house twice! (she has a basement)! This afternoon I was glad I went. A funnel cloud was spotted over Randolph supposedly headed toward Springville... our area. SOO scarey! But we were lucky this time. 10 Years ago we weren't so lucky. I will never forget that day or the days that followed. That memory is why I am so scared of bad weather now.
Coming home after the second round of storms, this was the view over the field across Salmon Rd. The sky was sooo blue one way & sooo dark the other. It was almost like sunshine and blue skies were chasing away the black clouds! It was beautiful! My thoughts and prayers go out to the families affected by this weather all over the south.

Mr. McCullough's Store
Today I was on my way to a wedding in Verona when I passed by an old familiar site. Mr. McCullough's store over off of Black Zion Road. Although it looks kind of sad now, all closed down, with yard sale remnants laying out in front. The gas pumps have been long gone. It used to be a very nice little country store. Mr. McCullough ran this store for years. He was a very nice older gentleman who I remember always wore overalls, and always wanted Daddy to "buy that girl some candy or an ice cream." I remember we used to go over to Mr. McCullough's when we needed a few things at home.. bread, milk, sugar.. Not really enough to go ALL THE WAY TO TOWN. It's kind of sad that the day of the small general store is fading. Now days we have Wal-Mart and the Dollar Store. But there's nothing like walking in a business where they call you by name when you come in the door, and ask how your family is doing (and really care). Sure there is a greeter at Wal-Mart, but we all know it isn't the same...
SN: It was a beautiful day!

My favorite lunch! If you have not tried the Candy Bar in downtown Pontotoc, you should! They make some of the most fabulous candy & sandwiches! My favorite to date: Chicken salad on a croissiant, Lays, & one of their pickle slices. I don't know what they do to their pickles but they are sooooo good!!

Welcome Catherine Alyvia!
Today was a wonderful day! We welcomed a new addition to the family. My new baby niece! Catherine Alyvia was 7lbs 8oz and 19inches long. With a head full of dark hair. She's precious! She was welcomed into the world by SEVERAL family members! Which makes me think of the young girl we saw being wheeled into surgery for a c-seciton as we arrived this morning. The only person with her to welcome her baby into the world was her mother. That made me sad. Where was the father (or sperm donor)? Did she have any other family? Why was her mother the only person standing in that hall waiting to see the precious angel that God had blessed her with today? I'm hoping they all had to work and were coming later. As we stood in the hall waiting for Catherine to make her appearance, I realized once more what a wonderful family I have. All families are a little dysfunctional. LOL. But I was definately blessed with a good family. And I'm very thankful for them. ALL of them.
