Finished a book, a Christmas ornament and a sweet face.

Last night I finished reading The Angels Of Morgan Hill, I loved this book! I have already passed it on to my mom because it was so good and because of Henry, a character in the story that reminded me of my grandpa. This was a story of overcoming bad to be a family, which is what
this world needs more of.

Now for the sweet face, This is Harper-Lee, she is a special dog indeed, when she was a tiny pup someone dumped her on a road out in the middle of nowhere. She was standing in the middle of the road wagging her tiny tail when I come along, with no homes in site AND being in the middle of the road I knew she would last no time out there so I scooped her up, posted ads on my Facebook and a couple of other places. We could not find her a home so here is is at approximately 5 to 6 months old
and spoiled rotten, I can't believe how smart she is and she has our Great Dane wrapped around her little tri-colored paw!

Last, Bailey wanted me to find her an ornament to make for Kristen in our
family ornament exchange and while looking I found this pattern for a little crochet tree. Super fast project and I think it looks pretty cute on our tree!

November Heat and a good book.

Today it was hot, around 75 or 80. I wore shorts to work, we have the air conditioning on. Next week its supposed to be in the 30's. The weather is crazy! Last week we were wearing coats and freezing. So strange.
Also I am reading The Angels of Morgan Hill, a very good book by Donna VanLeere about a family in a small town in Tennessee that has taken in young black boy who family dies in a fire learning to overcome others hate.

Not much happening

Not a whole lot going on, we are planning a move in about 2 years, it looks like Oklahoma this time, we are ready to go now but have to tie up some loose ends here, Tim's youngest daughter will finish high school here and hopefully we will have sold off the livestock and be ready to downsize as we plan on buying a smaller home since it will just be Tim, Bailey and I. We are all very excited.
