a seriously intense:: Chain of Events

TWO WEEKS full of life in one teeny tiny post!


We tagged along with J on a business trip and travelled to San Diego for four days...
it was a beautiful drive down along the coast and an amazing few days in heaven- within 5 minutes of a Allergy Free bakery!


We adopted TWO rescue dogs.... And one got very very sick with parvo.

The home treatment for Parvo was intensive....

So we occupied time by:

Looking up raccoons on the iPad...




Making a permanent address for the healthy dog!



And Keira drew a picture of the two dogs running together...



Keira made a BUNCH of candles!



And solved a mystery using fingerprints...



Gears...



Sun!



Writing...



Digging...



Rain!











Princess crafts...




Very Very small post... :D

Sweet Osiris

It is with a heavy heart that I must write that Osiris passed away on Friday evening.

We feel so blessed to have known him, even for this short time.

Thank you everyone for your help, prayers and generosity.

Save The Puppies!

Save A PUPPY!

Here is the deal:
3 puppies are up for euthanasia. I'm trying to save all 3.

I can only afford one- $80.

I'm asking for pledges to help save the other two and put them in a safe foster home until adopted out!

It's really easy- I have 125 friends- if you all gave 64CENTS- that's ONE whole puppy!!!! If you all give $1.28? All three puppies get to LIVE!

Seriously, I'll start by adding my $80 plus another 5 to the pot!

240

But WAIT! There's more!

If we get money back from taxes, I will reimburse EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

And there's MORE!

Every person that pledges

$5 will get a handmade card.

$25 will get you a hand knitted by ME hat! (with colors I have avail)

Solstice in the Redwoods!

It was a BEAUTIFUL day in the city!



We have had plans for over a month to head to Marin to spend solstice caroling in Muir Woods.



We walked up as a shadow
Puppet show was taking place.


Then, we had the unique, and QUITE magical experience that is walking through a redwood forest in the deep black of night, lit
Only by paper lanterns on the ground.

The trees and the smells and the sounds of groups of carolers....

Enchanting.
