I am BEYOND Thankful!


 

This year Thanksgiving is particularly special to me and I am BEYOND thankful!

A handful of you knew that last January I was diagnosed (EXTREMELY EARLY) with Stage One breast cancer. To say that this past year was a challenge is an understatement. 

Now you know why I was blogging even less than I normally do and why I might not have been coming around to your blogs as often.

I am beyond grateful for the support I received during my ordeal from my family, friends and medical team. I don't take lightly just how lucky I was (and am).

So, this year, while I hold everyone just a little closer, I am hoping you will do the same.

Thank you for being a part of my life for soooo many years. You all mean the world to me.

Hopefully 2026 won't bring anymore crappy "surprises" and I can go back to visiting you all more often!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! MAY YOU ALL BE BLESSED!!!

Happy 5th Gotcha Day Levi!!!!!


 Happy 5th Gotcha Day to the boy who made my hair completely white!!!!! (Nooooo, that isn't entirely true), but Levi sure has given Lenny and I a run for our money the past 5 years!!

He is barky, VERY, VERY "bossy" (to quote our friend Mark who happens to have Levi's brother Stormy. Stormy just celebrated HIS Gotcha Day 2 days ago). Mark describes Stormy as being "bossy" and that is a great way to put it! Levi is "bossy", bold, determined, and over the top in reference to his size AND his personality.

That being said, he is the MOST LOVING and AFFECTIONATE dog I have ever known. He is near us like velcro and is fiercely protective and loyal.

Levi definitely marches to his own drummer and we wouldn't want it any other way!!

Happy 5th Gotcha Day to our crazy and loving Levi!!

xoxo
