Suzi Blu & Unity ~ ...and then there was a Boy

I was so excited to get home from a weekend away with "the man in the uniform" and play with some stamps that I have not gotten a chance to play with. I went directly to a "Suzi Blu" stamp that I purchased through "Unity Stamp Co.".

I designed this card with the stamp called ....and then there was a Boy. I love this little guy. So many possibilities. He is a fun loving little guy.

Is this not precious or what? Love him!!!


Time to meet my snuggly, warm pillow and snuggle up with my luscious canine, who absoulutly missed us this weekend, who I am sure at this point is snuggling up on "MY" bed right now and in "MY" spot and smiling like no other. She is in bliss. I missed her this weekend and love her. Muuuaaawwwww!!!


Just look at her. Like she thinks she is important or something. Being all humble and that. What's up with that? I love her!!! BTW, the little guy in the background hiding his little face is one of my grand-rugrats. Love him too!!!

Loves, hugs & kisses,

A picture - Day 30 of the 30 day challenge

A picture

This last day of the 30 day challenge I am to post a picture. As we all know, I have made up my own rules to this blogging thingy. I am going to post a collage of pictures. These pictures have occurred at different times from the last few days. The man in the uniform and I took a long weekend trip to our friends home. These weekends away, we have come to treasure. They are fun loving, relaxing and at times down right hilarious.


Take a look at this turn table. Most kids do not even know what this is!!!
You should hear the crackle of the music drifting off this piece of electronic genius!!

Other than spending an AWESOME, relaxing weekend with the best friends ever, what is better than listening to some good ol' vinyl albums? How about some Eagles, Joe Walsh, Guess Who, some Stones, Fleet Wood Mac and the list goes on and on and on.

 My love muffin, "the man in the uniform". Just a chillen' in front of a wood burning fire!!! Absolute bliss.


While the music is drifting into the evening aura...the pool balls are banging together as "the man in the uniform" and I get our hiney's whooped in one of many games played throughout the evening. That's OK though, as the old saying goes, "pay backs are hell to pay". And believe me they are scareded!!!

See this white little furry creature? He is the happiest, yappiest, tiniest, little, itty bitty, brute of a canine that I have ever seen. He thinks he is a 180 pound mastiff and he is scary!!!


I love these people here, period. Here is what our friendship is and my thoughts on it:

Loving without conditions, trusting without hesitation, Friendship.
Forever loyal, kindred Spirits, sharing intimate moments, laughter and tears, Friendship.
More precious than gold, as luminous as the moon, everlasting, beyond description, Friendship.
A gift from God, giving and receiving, compassion and love, Friendship.
Heart to heart, soul connection, Friendship.

Good night all, until we meet again.

Loves, hugs & kisses,

Day 29 of the 30 day challenge

Three wishes

The first of my three wishes are health, happiness and prosperity for my children and grandchildren. I love each and every one of them.

My second wish is wealth for myself. Just sayin'. I don't mean like an Oprah type of wealth. I think a mere one-half of her wealth would do. That really isn't asking for too much, I don't believe. With that wealth the peace and happiness I feel in my life has to remain with me. Well, the wish people can throw in a little more of that too. That is, if I'm not asking for too much!!!

My third wish is world peace. Seriously, it is so easy to smile and be nice!!!! It is ok to have different opinions, beliefs, thoughts and Gods. It is ok to disagree. But in the end wouldn't it be nice if we all just agreed to disagree and/or be different. What a peaceful place this world would be!!!!

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

Day 28 of the 30 day challenge

Something that stresses me out

There probably is a lot of things that could stress me out. I have learned in my 'old' age that it is all in the way that I deal with the stress that helps me through it. It is a choice. You can choose to be peaceful at any given time. The choice is yours. You can choose stress or you can choose peace. I work very hard to choose peace and envelope myself in a silken wrap of whiteness. My greatest weapon against stress is my ability to choose one thought over another. Do I have to work on this? ABSOLUTELY. But I do know it does work. Again, the choice is yours. And I choose peace over stress. Do you want to join me?

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

Day 27 of the 30 day challenge

My pet

Abby
Today I get to share with you my luscious human canine. She is a black lab. Her name is Abby. She is actually a human in disguise or so she thinks. If you are ever lonely, have no fear, Abby will converse with you for hours. All you have to do is talk to her and she talks back. Speaking of talking back, she is a smarty britches too. If you raise your voice at her or tell her no she actually talks back. It is not a bark either. She talks back. I don't know who she thinks she is. She is a freak too. She is the most excitable canine ever!!! She gets so excited around my youngest rugrat that all he has to do is look at her and she wiggles her hind end and piddles everywhere. What's up with that? Now, when she gets around the middle rugrat she freaks because my middle one freaks. They are two dancing freaks!!!! Now my oldest rugrat just ignores her and she ignores him. He's allergic, you know.

Abby's best friend in the whole big world is in dispute. I say it is me. The man in the uniform 'thinks' it's him. We all know, deep down in those milk chocolate doggy eyes that she loves me the most.



She, along with me, is the biggest Brown's fan ever. She, loyally, every Sunday when a game is on,  obediently sits by my side and watches the game, until I start screaming, yelling and acting hysterical, which we all know doesn't happen too often since the Brown's are such a dominate team, at which time she reverts to the bedroom. Speaking of the bedroom. This 75 pound hunk of love actually believes that our bed is her bed. She spreads herself out like she owns it. If you think I can get in bed at night and stretch out in my own soft, dreamy puff of blankeys, think again. It is a tug-of-war like no other. What is sad, Abby usually wins. So I just lay there and try to relax by rubbing her oh so soft, silky, luscious ears and my lights are out. 

 Just look at her all snuggled in. She even has her own fan blowing directly on her for the best of comforts.

 

Now take a look at this. The man in the uniform and blacky here are dancing. That is why he thinks she loves him the most. How special is that. I love them both!!!




As you can see, blacky absolutely loves, loves, loves the snow!!! She is so precious!!!

And as you can see here, she loves to stop and smell the roses. Whoops, I mean the pansies. Love her!!!

Loves, hugs & kisses,

ML Brown

Day 26 of the 30 day challenge

A picture of my family

“FAMILY” is the most eternal part of every human’s life. It is a social unit who my or may not be living together, which comprises of parents and children, sharing common traits and features. It is an association of people who share common beliefs or activities, usually. A family is a group of very different people that have been meshed together from birth, marriage and/or friendship. Family is about love, dispute, anger and respect. In every dispute between a family member, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is in this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.

My "FAMILY" is my life. My "FAMILY" is:
