I was having a great day or was I?

This is Maisy ~ doesn't look like she could be trouble, does she? And below, is her treat I left for her to chew on...

Early this morning, very early this morning (5:45 am), my husband is awake and I know he tries to be quiet and he is...

REALLY!

Alot better these days than when we first married.

Back to 5:45, no it's now 6:30 am and yes, I laid away the whole time but now it's time to hit the road. Cliffton starts his shift at 7 am and the hospital is about 15-20 mins away and all that depends on Tim Hortons! Well, away we go and I get mine and we share it and Cliffton gets to save his for shift report! I don't mind, I can go home and make a huge pot (after pot, if I choose).

Anyway, I finally get home and put the coffee pot on and do a number of other things as Aunt Sheila is coming for a visit. Oh, I remember I should be sitting down to do my devotions but I don't and have no excuses...

Soon it's time for me to run off to the grocery store to pick up something to munch on when Aunt Sheila comes. I get myself together and run to the car, jump in and turn the key....

Only to hear...

~RRR~RRR~RRR~

Man, I left the lights on ~ oh, why does HE put them on anyway??? HE, meaning Cliffton, who started the car. We just had this conversation...

Needless to say, I wasn't going anyway and now had a new delima. I needed to find a neighbor to help and the only neighbors I have, are out for the first time this week! :s

I get a few other things done while waiting but still considering the nonchalant walk to the neighbors house. Why the indifferent walk? They have 2 good sized dogs, the newest is Towzer and he the biggest, meanest, rottie I ever laid my eyes on. He's not but he doesn't know me and all he will do when he sees me is bark! But as I walk to the door, I can only see Princess and she's lovely and what's more, she likes me ~ well, I do give her a treats...

After beeping the horn, calling out, and continuously running back to my porch and then giving in and asking Kash to come with me (and 2 treats in my hand), we ventured over. This time, Towzer surfaced and started to bark and I literally started to run home! Yep, I did...

Cora, my neighbor heard Towzer and came to the door this time. Ahhh, all I could get out was "I need help!"

Kash just looked at me!

"you don't say"

Cora and Dustin helped and I was on my way after thanking them. Kash and I enjoyed company, garlic fingers, and pop. Around 2:40, I had to take Kasha to work for 3 pm. Any other time, I'd take the dog but it's been warm and I had a free tanning session and didn't want to leave her in the car... Here's the wonderful surprise I had when I got home.

Just yesterday, my devotions was a reminder to start the day with the Lord...

~sigh~

Despite my putting my devotions off, the Lord gave me an opportunity to give a tract out! ;)

He's always good!
