Thursday June 19th~

Life is full of challenges. Life is full of blessings...

 I finally saw a few deers.  So happy for that.  So far we 
have also seen a few turtles.  The other day when we were 
coming out of a restaurant, I saw a turtle roaming around
 in the parking lot.  It was hot as hell and cars were just
 taking off.  I would like to think I rescued the little dude
 by putting him on the grass and away from harm's way.


There is also a grey kitty roaming around.  He/she has 
a collar so I believe it has a home, even so when he's out 
and if I see him I would give him food.  There is also another
 kitty who lives next door to us.  His name is Pipsqueak, but 
his mom said she calls him PiP.  That's PiP under the chair.


Everyday we have a cardinal (daisy) and a squirrel
 that show up.  Daisy comes in the morning and the squirrel 
comes around lunch time.  To say Sniff is exhausted is putting 
it mildly.  Now all he does is watch, wait and try to get them. 
 Yes, I leave food for them against Arvid's wishes of course.


The other day Arvid and I had a good outing at Big Cedar 
Lodge.  We had good food and good drinks.  Becoming a 
favorite as well.  Boy we sure have lots of favorites.


 We are enjoying our time here in Branson,
 but I do look forward to going back home soon.


I try to enjoy everyday, even when there is
 so much going on.  I never take for granted life.


Wishing everyone a very good day.  Sniff is happy because
 he's being kept busy all day long with the birds and so far one 
squirrel that shows up like clock work for his peanuts.


Bird watching and being on squirrel lookout is not easy.  
Sniff is completely exhausted after a few hours.


Everyday I try to remember all the ways I am 
blessed, beyond the chaos and bad things that happen...
