My 3 Dogs

My three DOGS! Tommy, Lexi and Dave. It's no wonder they listen to Dave and not me, because he just lets them lay on him like a dog bed or something. I can't believe how much Tommy and Lexi act like brother and sister! Tommy is constantly biting Lexi's ankles trying to get her to play with him. It seems like he doesn't even know that he is just this small thing compared to Lexi. It's very entertaining to watch them two try to jump on each other, or I love it when one just sits on top of the other!

Happy New Year

Half of Billy, John, Mom and Dave. Taking a break from dominoes to play the air guitar to some AC/DC. We had so much fun bringing in the new year. I'm confident this year will be ten times better than the last! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year

Julio, Nancy, Billy and John. Dancing to great music and playing dominoes waiting for the clock to strike 12 for the new year! We had a blast and yes, the drunkest one was the one who won dominoes.

WHEN I LOOK TO THE SKY

When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

[Chorus:]
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

[Verse 2]
And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

[Chorus:]
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

[Verse 3]
Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by

And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here [X2]

I am thankful for...

My family. We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. It was...well, civilized is how I have been putting it. No one got into any arguments and everyone, I think, enjoyed themselves. This is what the family has dwindled too. Everyone in my family is in this picture except for those who are dead or incarcerated. It's quite sad, now that I am really thinking about it. Thank goodness for love and marriage! Back Row L to R: Dave, John, Vivian, Floyd and Billy. Front Row L to R: April, Mom, Tiffney and Jaclyn. Not pictured: Jerry and Angie.

Tommy

Tommy is the newest addition to the family. We rescued him from a shelter just north of us. We adopted him November 17th and was able to bring him home November 20th. He is a cocker spaniel with possibly some poodle. They say he is about 4 years old. Tommy has got to be the cutest dog there is! He loves to get all the attention and is quite the cuddler. He loves to give lots and lots of kisses. I named him Tommy after a long week of trying to find the right one.
