Rest in Peace, Lilly

Lilly was hit by a car last week & died instantly.

We miss her so much.

Easter Sunday in my City

We had a great Easter. We went to church and then to my parents' house.

It was a nice, relaxing day, just what we all wanted - and needed.

And there was lots of delicious comfort food. Soooo good.

Here are a few pictures of the fun.

Me & John

Shelbie, Ace, and Me

This is what happens when Big Sister plays Easter Bunny.

Lilly even got in on the fun.

and this Lily just made things prettier.

Fall in Florida

Well I just so happened to find myself at the library on Wednesday again, so it looks like it's time for another Wordful Wednesday post!

It's all about fall here.

We don't get much fall foliage in Florida, so we have to make the most of what we do have.

and now for some outside deco....

...and Lilly, who followed me around and got in my way
and generally made a nuisance of herself until I took her picture!

and now some inside deco....pumpkins courtesy of the Littles.

True blue Gator fans, in all kinds of weather....
{even the storms we've been battling lately...sigh.}
(this was at the Homecoming Parade.)

doing the Soccer Mom thing.

The End!

All is well here, and I hope you all are well too.

WordFUL Wednesday - because I'm just not a Wordless Kinda Girl

It's time for WordFUL Wednesday, courtesy of Angie's 7 Clown Circus.

As you all know, we just moved. Again. I swear, if I have to move again any time soon, please send help. Like, the men in white coats with the straitjackets. Because I will need them.
Anyway, while we were moving, I guess our beautiful, evil cat Lilly became concerned. Perhaps she was remembering her evil ways and our empty threats. I think she was worried that we were going to move without her! So...she climbed into a half-packed box.

Lilly says: "I'm not getting left behind! I know, I'll sit right here."

Although wherever we live, it will always be the "DysFUNctional" Home, our last home was truly dysfunctional. The plumbing, heat & AC weren't working, the carport flooded with every rain, and that's just the beginning. As much as I loved it when we found it, I was SO glad to move out by the time we found....

The New DysFUNctional Home.

Phriday Photo Phinish Phiesta ~ Phur Phriends

It's Phriday and I'm joining the party at Candid Carrie's!

Today I'm sharing two photos of our phurry friends.

This phirst photo pheatures the newest member of our phamily, Wall-E, and the ruler of the house, Lilly.

Wall-E is getting comfortable in his new home and now comes out and explores and hangs out with the phamily. In this picture, he is lounging on the love seat. Lilly still pheels the need to remind him that she is the Queen of the world House. I love this picture because of the way the are keeping a very close eye on one another. Phunny!

This second picture is total cuteness. It's an extreme close-up because the subjects were in MY lap, and I took the picture! But I just had to capture this sweet moment. Charley, our kitten, adores Suzie, our 15 year old dachshund. I truly think they've adopted one another as mommy and child. In this shot, Suzie was lounging on my lap, and Charley jumped up, laid down beside Suzie, put his arm around her and his face against her face. He was literally hugging her! It was so.freaking.cute.!!

Hope y'all have a great weekend, and hug your phurry phriends phor me!

Join the fun at Candid Carrie's! Today is also the big countdown reveal at her place - check it out!

Wordful Wednesday ~ Friends

Remember last week, when I told you that I thought our cat, Lilly, and the new kitten, Charley, would soon be friends?
I was right!

When I woke up this afternoon, they were snoozing together in the computer chair.
From enemies to snuggle-buddies in less than three weeks!
Oh, the cuteness.

Angie at Seven Clown Circus hosts WordFUL Wednesday every week, for those of us who like to showcase a photo but can't keep our mouths shut about it! It's a growing phenomenon and you should play, too!
