Hello Chris and Holly......beautiful dog Blue!!! your garden sprouts man .....looking really good!! SO GLAD that your insurance is coming through and soon your home will be repaired. Yeah!! Wishing you all the best Keep on Keeping on friend ♥blessingsgreeenies♥
Wow! I hope Jenn and Mike have a wonderful wedding day :) I'm looking forward to some photos! Best wishes to them for a wonderful life together. It's certainly eventful around your place - sorry to hear about the fire at the Micelli's place, but glad no-one was hurt. I guess once repairs start on your place things will be a bit noisy for a while, but woohoo! computer room! new mattresses! Nice. Hey, I'd love to see a photo of all your pets, I tend to loose track - I didn't know about Blue, he's gorgeous :) Good to see garden friend cat, and how's sunny pumpkin cat? My Misty is still here with me, hanging out and being cute :) Sending our love and best wishes to you all xxoo
Great news about the contractor & that the work starts Monday. Do you know how long it will take? Plants look great. Blue is adorable! I love his markings. Congratulations to Jenn & Mike on their special day! Hugs!
