The movie is mine~
I have my own copy now, I like the movie,
but, not quite as much as I liked the book!
Reading this type of novel conjures up the most
wonderful visions of a
young sexy vampire/man who is totally in lust
with this young woman! He is protective, actually,
overly protective of her in every way, mentally and
physically. I look forward to the movie sequel coming out
in November.

And, now on to another train of thought...............
We went to a coffee cafe last night called "REV" to see a group of
people trying to break into the comedy world.
Tracy, my friends daughter, was one of these comedian wanna-be's.
She was very funny. We also liked two guys. The first one and
winner of the night was Chelsie Rice and another by the name of
Landry. We decided it was a cheap and very enjoyable date night and
will probably do it again!

My Lucky Charm..............

This is Fuzz, the day we brought her home from the shelter.
Freckles and sweetness
and about 6 weeks old. Early in
2002. She is just as sweet today, only
she lost the freckles!

"The Reveal"

If you have been following the life and times of Aunt Debbie.........then

you know that my creative challenges have no end! A week ago yesterday, I started a painting project. The most unusual one,

that I have encountered to date. Not hard, mind you, but, more entailed than I had thought!

H.'s "racing themed" garage, to house his two pretties in and I don't mean

women, but, Porsches!

Picture #1 is a nice and tidy "very blue" garage..............

Picture #2,3,4, are after I finished my handy painting................

Thanks N. I enjoyed the experience! "Happy Birthday H."

Laid Back.........ain't the word!

Rachel and I went to our first Greyhound Volunteer night, last night.
There were ten dogs to tend to. Two other ladies were there, to guide us.
When these dogs come to this particular rescue, they are not spayed or
neutered. So, that is the first thing done by Lakeside (Acworth) Animal
Hospital. But, before that, each dog is checked out by a vet tech to see where it would be the most well placed in a new home . All of these animals have been touched by humans,
they don't mind that. Sadly, they have lived their lives in crates, only to be out, when racing. So, being part of a family unit is a very large change for
them.
They must be checked out in other ways too, to go to the right homes.
Do they mind being around children?
Are they aggressive with food?
Can they handle being around cats? Or other dogs?
Are they escape artist?
Most do not stay at rescue for more than a couple of weeks before
they are adopted by their new families.
I was shown how to put on the special collar and then
take each for a walk outside. If these dogs were were any more laid
back, they would not be alive! Very easy to be around.............
Changing their water and bedding if they have chewed it or soiled it.
Brushing them and just giving them loving attention for a while.
Probably, the next time we go, these dogs will have been adopted. And
another group will be there. I will take pictures to show you these beautiful dogs in retirement.

P.S.
One week from now, I will have Edward and Bella in my hands!
For all of you Twilight lovers.....................be patient.

Racing Paint and Racing Dogs~

Well, I am back to the garage today, to get one step closer to finishing my
"racing theme" paint project........
I am getting excited to reveal the pictures of before and after. Stay posted!

Rachel, my bud, has a rescued Greyhound, "Mya". She and I are going to
volunteer at least one night a month, which begins tonight, to go and feed, exercise and play with these beautiful ex-racing dogs that are waiting to go to loving new homes.
It will be a new and good experience. I am looking foward to it.

The Race Begins~

My weekend was spent at N.'s house. Her husband is a Porsche lover and she wanted to surprise him.

My mission was to take a totally blue garage space and make it black and
white and red themed, while they were away for his birthday weekend.
Painting, checking and a red chair rail............piece of cake, I thought!
It did not get entirely done, but, it is almost there! My back and neck were screaming for mercy by last night!!!!
And when they got home, H. was surprised..........whew.
I will reveal the project in the next week, when I finish it.
Now, comes the best part of the two days!! They have the greatest big dogs. Gus, Lucy and Brody.
I left the door open and from time to time they came to check out my progress!Check them out below............
