HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY & New Listings

I want to take this time to wish evreyone A VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!  I hope your day is filled with love and happiness!  And I have new listings in my Etsy shop.
When I made the liquid soap dispensers, I fell in love with it.  But I wanted a toothbrush holder and cup dispenser to match and couldn't find the right rusty rings to match.  Well I found them and I now have the toothbrush holder and the disposable cup holder  to blend in with the soap dispenser listed in my Etsy shop.

I have several different labels for the soap dispensers to match different tastes.  Until next time...

Man's Best Friend

I have heard that dogs are man's best friend but I have never seen a dog show it's affection like Jeeter does to my grandson, Jacob.
I was outside the other day while Jacob was feeding Jeeter and all of a sudden Jeeter jumped up and put his paws on Jacob's shoulder and buried his head in his neck to give him a hug!  I think this picture says it all.

Isn't this the sweetest thing you have ever seen?

And then there is our dog, Pepper.   Chester got Pepper when she was 6 months old.  She had been abused and would not let us touch her for about a year.  And now you can't separate the two of them!  As soon as he comes out the door Pepper jumps up and runs to him.

And she is the most loyal member in our church! LOL  We attend church behind our house and she follows him every service.  Much to everyone's dismay she doesn't let anyone touch her because of her fear of people.  

But while church is going on she lays beside Chester's car and about every 15 minutes she gets up and walks around the church parking lot to make sure every thing is ok and then goes and lays back down beside his car.  You can't ask for a better watch dog than Pepper.  And here she goes...

Do You Believe In Santa?

When I was in my 30's, I started playing the fiddle.  Well the fiddle I had wasn't working any more so I told Chester I needed a new on and my fiddle teacher  said it would cost around $2,000.00!  Well he told me to dream on so I told him Santa would bring me one.  Well he laughed and told me to dream on.

Then the week after Christmas a man came into the office where we worked with a fiddle.  It had a beautiful tone and he only wanted $150.00 so I told Chester I wanted it and he bought it.  When the man left I told him, "I told you Santa would bring me one.  I just had to be patient"LOL  He told me that he didn't see Santa's signature on that check and I told him that no but Santa brought it so he could pay for it.LOLOLOL

Well my fiddle teacher told me the fiddle was worth about $2,500.00 and it was a great buy.

Then my grandson Daniel was born and he had a fascination and belief in Santa that I have never seen in a child.  His eyes would just sparkle.  And then he started school and the kids made fun on him and told him there was no Santa.  So Daniel asked me if I believed in Santa and I told him yes.  Well if I believed so did he!

He went home and told his Mom that he knew there was a Santa because Gram believed in him.  She called me and chewed me out telling me that I said I would never lie to my grandkids.  Well I told her I didn't lie.  Then she goes on to say that I don't really believe there is a REAL Santa and I told her yes I do, he brought me a fiddle!!!  She just told me that I had to grow up.  Yeah right, as if that is going to happen!!!!!

So do you believe in Santa?
