She finally has a name!

Just a quick post today to let you know that our

little furball finally has a name! This is the same photo I used before because she is a little skittish and it is hard

to get photos of her that aren't a blur, but she is adapting

to us more each day. She will actually come out from

hiding and run around the deck and flowers now so I

guess she is making progress. :)

We had over 30 names submitted and I narrowed it down

to Bella, Chloe and Gypsy. I loved them all , but when

it came right down to it, I knew she had to be called

Gypsy

because she was found a *travelin'*. lol. Thank you all

for helping me out and I will be sending a little

something to Julie Marie for submitting this name.

Happy Monday!!

Name the kitty!!

I need some help bloggy friends! I need a name for

this little kitty. Mr. Wayside found her in the middle

of a very busy road on his way home from work a few

weeks ago and brought her home to the *manor*. I was not too happy with Mr. Wayside at that time

because we were getting ready to leave for Indiana in just a few days and I thought oh great here we

go again.

For those of you who don't know we lost our beloved

cat Izzy a year or so ago. She was a long haired black beauty

with a long haired tail as well and very gentle. She had been

with us since 1999 and she was hit by a car out in front

of our house. Didn't want another cat, kitten or anything

else for that matter since that time, but this little ball of

fur is kinda cute.

She stays outside and seems to like it here at Wayside Manor because she is not leaving! ha!! So it is time to name the little furball. Send me your ideas please and you just

might get something in the mail from moi

if I choose your name. :)

She does not have blue eyes as shown in the first

photo...camera angle or something. :)

It is soooooooo hot today in Michigan that I know I could bake cookies in my car! One of these days

I am going to try that...ha ha!!

Momentous Decision ~

Making the decision to have a child ~

it's momentous.

It is to decide forever to have your heart

go walking outside your body.

This is my sweetie grandson

youngest one

born August 5th

our 32nd wedding anniversary

nice gift ...don't you think ?

My daughter and her family made a quick trip

down here last Saturday and this is Joshua

sleeping in grandma's arms.

Isn't he such a little doll? His mommy tells me he is just the

best baby ever. I think God knew she needed a easy going

baby the third time around as her

second one ...also a little guy

is so full of energy. I don't think he

ever slows down.

I just had to share our little bundle of love

with you today.

I would say the saying above applies to grandparents also.

My heart walks outside my body constantly

with my little sweeties. I love them all so much!

Have a truly blessed Sunday~
