So, this is the most recent tag-along in the Hughes family...but don't worry, we aren't going to keep this one :) But we would really like to find a home for this little kitty. She is so sweet and loves people AND dogs ! Mom asked me to put up a picture...so here it is! Isn't she so cute, mom?? I think she would love the house on Orn road :) Hmmm, we shall see what Dad says, right?? :)
Mom, Libby and I met a few weeks ago in Richmond, IN for an all-girls weekend getaway !!! It was so much fun to be together! We enjoyed dinner at Chipotle...it was mom's first time, and she loved it! We laughed alot. Shopping, talking, and munching on chocolate chip cookies was enjoyed by all. We also loved touring the historic district of Richmond, where we oohhh and ahhhed over beautiful homes built in the 1800's. Finally we took a stroll through the charming Hayes Arboretum, where mom took this picture of Lib and I. What a blessing that weekend was. I am so thankful to have my family!!!!
The colors seem to be so brilliant this fall. We enjoyed at least 4 whole weeks of vibrant colors coming from the maples and other trees in our surrounding woods. This is just one of the most amazing times of the year. When I think about the colors, I smile, knowing that God created the color show just for our wonderment. I mean, He could have easily made the leaves fall right off the tree as the cool season approached. However, I feel His love every time I notice the gold, auburn, and deep red colors stand out beneath the bright blue sky!
Took a "creek stompin'" hike with a few kids during Fallen Timbers Outdoor Education week. We put our rubber boots on and took off through the wilds of Heartland. During the hike, we found fish and crayfish and "uncharted territory". Ok, well, to the kids, it seemed like we were hiking up streams that had never been explored before. I loved it.
Boy, are we glad these animals love each other! The first picture was taken a few weeks ago as I was lounging in the chair...I got adventurous and called Molly to see if she would jump up into the chair with me. Silly me...why did i even think she wouldn't! So as she made herself comfortable, the cat (now officially Sam) hopped on up and settled in. So funny! And then the other week, we caught this second shot, of Sam sleeping with Molly in her kennel. I don't know how Molly felt about the whole situation, but she tolerated it. Since then, we have often looked over and found the two laying together on the floor, in the kitchen on the rug (especially when i am cooking...they love to be right there with me) or back in Molly's kennel. Companions?? For sure! Entertaining for us?? You bet!
