We have been horribly busy for a solid three weeks. I was really looked forward to last weekend…a long weekend at last! But I ended up spending Friday and Saturday helping my sister with her yard sale, then I had a out of town wedding to go to and it rained the whole rest of the weekend. Boy did those weather guys have it wrong! I went to bed at 9:00, but I still wasn’t a bit ready to go back to work.

I need a vacation at home, just me and my pups. A nice long one.

And now this; are you or your Shar-pei searching for the very best anti wrinkle cream?

I often worry about my dogs safety when we’re away. I worry someone will stop by and unknowingly forget to latch the gate and my babies will get out and be run over, stolen…or worse. So I was thrilled when I was recently given the opportunity to receive one of these great dog in yard signs. These attractive metal signs come in three great shades; chocolate brown and cobalt blue and my personal favorite, grass green. They even provided the brass screws or cable ties to attach my sign to the gate. The company doesn’t accept credit cards, but has a good Karma policy–they ship your sign out fast and expect pay later. All they ask of their customers is that they send in their check just as quickly.

I have to say I feel a lot better now when I have to leave the house!

It’s been a grueling couple of weeks! We just finished National Nursing Home Week today and after five days of big events, I’m exhausted. My youngest daughter also graduated college last Saturday and we had a house full of guests, which meant I had a full house to clean and tons of food to prepare. But in all, it worked out pretty well, my daughter was thrilled with her party and the guests all had a great time. Our nursing home residents seemed to really enjoy themselves as well. Now I’m ready for some R&R!

Before I hit the hay, this question; are you looking for travel deals? If so, here you go!
