    You have a busy July planned! I have a very large laundry room/studio. My July plan is to get it totally organized, which I successfully put off doing in June.

      Several of these things were on my Junes list too. Good luck to both of us.

    Sounds like a good and productive list for July. I didn't make a list, but have several things in mind I would like to accomplish in July. I have auto insurance due at the end of the month, which will be my biggest bill this month. I hope you meet all of your goals this month, Marybeth and that you have a great weekend.

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild.

Oreo Got Hurt

She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder.

I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
