Unconditional Love ???

We have heard of "Unconditional Love"

from out pets.....well my Mika

is living proof !!! Oh what have I done...

my thoughts were... To keep her Little feet dry...

Mika humored me by walking around

house wondering what her Mommy did

to her.....I didn't think dogs I mean

my little girl could put on a sad face...

as you can tell SHE HAS A SAD FACE....

...I am happy to say

I returned the shoes today !!!!!!

I'm sorry Mika...

Mommy loves you very much ...

I just lost my mind for a moment !!!

Hugs,

Mo :-)

Romantic Brick Work

"Amazing Brick Work"

I was in Napa, CA not to long ago and

fell in love with this amazing brick work....

If you are ever in Napa take a look....

it is through out the "Harvest Inn" grounds....

The brick reminds me of a dream cottage in the woods...

Very Romantic......

Have a wonderful day...

**********************************

Life has so many changes...some good some bad.....but the loss of my Mom for me was life changing... I miss her everyday.....I wish I could say my Mom had a easy life....My father died at the age of 37 and my Mom had to raise 3 children on her own.....and that was no easy job.....my Mom was a very strong willed woman and we did butt heads on many occasions through out my life.....but bottom line she was my Mom and I loved her with all my heart....my Mom and I had some great talks over a nice cup of tea over the years.....shared a few secrets here and there.....I am very proud to say a lot of who I am today is because of my Mom......Mom, I miss you and my heart feels your loss everyday.

Mom and her very loved great grandchildren

I miss you Mom !!!!

Me my Mom and my beautiful girls....

A chapter of my life is now closed...the loss of my Mom has left me with memories that will make me laugh and cry....but a piece of my heart will feel her loss forever!!!!

"I love you Mom"

Thank You for letting me share a little bit of my life today with you.

Hugs,

Mo :-)

My New Bed

Hi !!!! My Mom said I could do a post today about my new bed...

My Mom bought it for me at Home Goods last week....(she really likes

that store).....and I really like my new bed...it is very comfy too !!!!!!

I sit in the front window during the day and let my Mom and Dad know

when someone is passing by or coming to the front door....I kinda get excited

and bark....I'm glad I have something comfy to sit on....

My Mom is really nice...she made this spot for me right in the front

window..she had some really cute stuff here but she moved it just for me...

I really love my Mom.....(and I know she really loves me too)

I think I hear someone coming...just a second and let me look.....

no... it was a false alarm..just the mailman..he is really nice...

well anyway I'm so glad my Mom let my show you my
new bed..I also love the color PINK just like my Mom...
I'm going to take a little nap now so have a wonderful
day and Mom said I can do another post sometime soon..
Hugs,
Mika Bella
