Never get discouraged at difficulties… When you get into a tight place, and everything goes against you till it seems as if you couldn’t hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that’s just the place and time that the tide’ll turn. ~Harriet Beecher Stowe
Hope rises like a phoenix from the ashes of shattered dreams. ~S. A. Sachs
Well hello, boys and girls, how was your July 4th experience? I hope you had a safe one, and that your critters survived without too much trauma. My Cocoa dog just hugged the corner of the couch like it was the Titanic going down, panting her poor brains out. Luckily, she was her usual perky self this morning. Now unless you’ve been living with several perfect strangers in the latest Biodome, then you’re probably aware of all the wacky weather Mother Nature has been throwing at us lately. It’s like she put on her uniform, stepped up to the pitcher’s mound, and said “these people have no clue what’s coming at them.” And even with our finest Louisville Sluggers and good intentions, she still managed to make us swing and miss while the flooding, forest fires, and terrifying tornados flew right past us. C’mon ref!
Your own property is concerned when your neighbor’s house is on fire. ~Horace…
