I feel sorry for those of you who read these blogs, because you never have any idea where they are going to go. Truth be told, I never know what I am going to write about till half way into them.

I got to talking to Mark the other night and mentioned that my father has a corgi who seems to be under the impression she owns me. All my life I have been around dogs. From the time I was a little kid there were poodles, beagles, dobermans, boxers, miniature pinschers, and now a welch corgi. That seems to be some list. I've been with big dogs and small dogs. They have all been family pets and your biggest fear, especially with the doberman and the boxer, was drowning because these dogs all think they are lap dogs and want to lick the heck out of you

This year I lost my min pin, Fawn. She had been my bed companion, faithful listener, and friendly face when I came home. With her passing I figured I was done with animals but that was not exactly to be. Having moved in with my father because of his health I came into constant contact with his dog, JJ. The little beast has decided I belong to her. I walk in and there she is. She has this obsession with my feet and tries to lick my toes every chance she gets. Just not something you get use to. Oh well.

Deciding I needed to get out for awhile I headed out to the local farm stand. I had been in chat today talking to Mikie and he mentioned he was in the mood for some Zucchini. Well that got me thinking. I picked up a bunch of fresh fruits and vegetables, and one of the ones I made sure to get was Zucchini. Now the next day where I know I will have a little time I plan to turn that squash into Zucchini Bread. I am so grateful that I have my mother's recipe to do that. Just one of those things that once someone mentions it you sort of want it yourself. Besides nothing is as good as fresh fruits, vegetables, or herbs you grow or get fresh. The taste is so much better.

I had been worried about getting my anthology piece done but that is finally complete now. I had been concerned a bit that people weren't enjoying my suggestions for the prompts but then Cia did one that blew me away and Dolores did another prompt. If people aren't reading these short pieces coming out of the prompts you are really missing some wonderful story ideas. Any way, I am off to finish one and then go on to finish chapter 23. Been working on it but wasn't too happy so ripped it apart and starting over. All I can say is sometimes it is great to have something happen behind closed doors. Then you can refer to it and never have to fully show it.
