My house guest

My sister has been in the hospital since last Wednesday so her dog Lilly is staying with us. They both get to go home tomorrow. They are always so sad to be apart. She is an old sweetie and I will miss her.

Your house must be the second best place for Lily, just after home. Lucky pooch doesn't have to stay home alone or be boarded. I hope your sister returns to good health.

I'm so sorry! Of all the ones to be mislabeled, wouldn't you know it, the red one. How frustrating! I have been getting lots of emails of late for Rogue Valley's sales. Go look there and see what you can find.

totallyblessed, *blushing* thank you for your kind words! We're building in the San Francisco East Bay. Oh, and don't worry, the photos in my last post are the exact same photos as what was supposed to appear in my first post, you're not missing anything. I'm going to our homesite again tomorrow and I'd like to get more photos taken, as long as the house looks likes it's somewhat progressed from last time! :) krislrob, oh yes, I was SOOO excited to see the roof tiles loaded and very, very happy with the colors (I think there are 10+ different colors/textures total) after all. It was hard putting colors together using the little sample tiles, but I couldn't be happier now that I see it all together! Anyway, yes, our lot backs to a winery that's been there since 1980. A couple of acres is manageable to DIY and viticulture is quite interesting to learn, so best of luck to you both with your future grapes!

Thank you straitlover for the compliment. Yes I did take that photo. I haven't ever sold any pics before. But in this instance, I will grant you permission to use the photo to frame in your home, provided that you make a donation to the Newtown Youth and Family Services in support of the families affected by this recent shooting tragedy. I'll leave it up to you how much you want to donate. Does that sound fair? Here is a link that might be useful: Newtown Youth and Family Services

I think that there are many colors that would go well. What color is the furniture? Any fabrics?

Aw, how sweet! We took care of some friends' beautiful Golden Retriever whenever they traveled.....we adored that dog! He loved staying with us and would start whining in excitement whenever they turned onto our street. Once the car door was opened, he made a beeline to our front door, wagging his whole body with happiness.

He was happiest when we went over to 'his' house for the evening and he had all of us together.

Your sister will be so glad to be home and reunited with her Lily. Good for you for helping both of them.

How nice of you. Lily looks like a doll. I'm glad you could comfort each other while your sister and Lily's mama is ill. Hope your sis is feeling better.

Oh, I love these win/win situations!

There's a volunteer group in our area that provides temporary care for pets whose owners can't care for them due to some hardship. Volunteer aregivers have kept animals for months when someone is ill, can't find a job, can't find an apartment that accepts pets -- lots of reasons.
