Thunder, Rain & Rainbows

One day late here - but yesterday was so cool. Woke up to a foggy day then as the morning went by started hearing thunder. Now understand that here in San Diego we don't experience the same weather through out the rest of the country. So when we hear thunder and see lightening it's really fun. It started raining I guess mid morning, not hard but just enough. After I got off work I went to the grocery store and when I came out there was an amazing double rainbow. It was so cool watching everyone standing in the parking lot just oohing and ahhing (sp) the show. The light was such a great color with the sun trying to come through the clouds - classic stormy light that we just don't get that often.

Driving home I was sitting at a light and a couple of people coming through the intersection had their phones out their windows trying to take pictures while driving. My camera was as home with a full memory card...dog gone it.  Oh well I was smiling anyway and absolutely loving it!!

Smiles!

Today is my daughter's birthday!

What's not to smile about when it's your daughter's birthday? Not sure there is anything better - except that she's here in town and we could wish her Happy Birthday this morning in person. It was the best day of my life 23 years ago when she came into this world and I can't wait to see where then next 23 years take her.

I love you so much - Zara too!

Big Smiles!!

The pumpkins are here!

It's that time of year....the pumpkins have shown up outside the grocery story. I just love fall and to see all the pumpkins out just makes me smile.

Time to light the candles at night for that warm up your home glow, start a fire in the fireplace and curl up under a warm throw and read a good book or watch a good show on tv.

Now for the leaves to really start turning colors - I can't wait!

Amazing restraint

Yesterday at work our hospital cat "Mylean" was sooo cute just kicking back on top of the credit card machine watching this little cockatiel we call "Boomerang". She was amazing to watch - you could just see on her face that she so wanted to just give the bird a little swat with her paw but she didn't. Just sat there watching as Boomerang was walking back and forth, going in circles, hitting Mylean with her tail, and she just sat there...eyes as big as saucers. She is such a cool cat and we just love her!


Mylean makes me smile everday at work - it is such a pleasure being able to have these great creatures to spend time with while working!

Smiles!!

5 Goldens

Today at work we had 5 different Golden Retrievers with appointments in a row. Now I just love them - our last dog was a Golden - actually my daughters puppy under the tree one year - he's been gone about 5 years now but anytime one comes into the hospital I just have to spend some time with them. Some were young and some were just as white faced as Buddy had been. So many memories & such love from all of them. So wish I had a photo of Buddy that I could post but unfortunately all my photos of Buddy are on negatives.

Anyway - big Golden Retriever smiles - you know they all do...
