2001-2008 Chloe Jane Campbell

You were only with us for a short time, but were loved like no other. We'll miss you Booger.

Where's the cold air?!

Chloe update

Thank you to everyone who inquired about Chloe. She is doing very well. They think it was just an intestnal bug or she got into Fire Ant Killer. They say it is not toxic in the fact it could kill her, but enough to give her and upset stomach.

She's on 2 meds, got her ears MEGA cleaned, which we found out was a yeast infection AND a bacterial infection. Doggie good bugs for her food when everything is back to normal and some weight loss food which will help her lose weight, plus eat more. Chloe tidbit: her nicknames are Booger Bear, Ms. Beauregard, Butterbean, Chloer, and Stinky.

So we delayed our trip to Waco and instead went to Craft-O-Rama. Hubby is a good sport, but he thought it was like Hobby Lobby: ie. model cars, trains, etc. Nooooooooooooo. They have a large selection of Amy Butler Fabric and patterns, a Craft Lounge, among other things.

I got Amy Butler's In Stiches and 2 Sublime Stitching embroider patterns. Then we took a little tour through downtown Austin so hubby could see.

Went through a bunch of cllothes and I have decided to make a T-shirt quilt. I have a plastic bin and a 1/2 of t-shirts from places I have been and fromplaces friends have traveled to. I was going to send them off to Goodwill and Hubby said, but wait...? So, as they are all too small, I will make a toasty quilt for those cold Texas evenings (40's) LOL!

We were both able to sleep in after a long Thursday night/Friday morn.

I am thinking dinner at the Sushi place tomorrow to celebrate the ol' birthday, but unsure if Hubby will go for it!!

Pond

Our "pond" near our apartment held wonders today. As I walked Chloe early this morning I saw a huge Blue Heron take flight. Almost as if in slow motion, graceful.

This afternoon a frog skipped about 3-4 times across the water then took a dive in the, I'm sure, cool water.

Summer

The deep swell off to the side of our apartments is once again filled with rain water. the insects dapple in the water causing the sun to reflect upon them and glitter like diamonds. Purlple thistle and Queens Anne Lace surround the pond. Dragonflys flit about in the sunshine.

I saw an unusual dragonfly today while I was walking Chloe. Deep brown with soft blue wings. I haven ever seen on that color before.

To me, the unusual and the eclectic IS the norm.

Blessed Be
