One in a Million You
(our first day together)
sorry i’ve been an absentee blogger lately, but as you many know i’ve been taking care of my babylove, Daisy dog. well, yesterday was our last day together. she and i went to the beach and she passed away quietly later in the day. i thank her for getting me to florida and staying just long enough to spend one night together in the new place. we’ve seen 3 decades together and she was the most gentle pitbull to walk this earth. this corny Larry Graham song below was ours. of course this blog is a place i feel at home, so thank you all for always being here. so snuggle, smooch and smother your little angels today from us!
love c & d
Love has played its games on me so long.
I started to believe I’d never find anyone,
that could try to convince me to give in.
Said you can’t win.
But one day the sun came shining through.
The rain had stopped, and the skies were blue.
And oh, what a revelation to see…
someone was saying “I love you” to me.
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime.
Then life showed compassion,
and sent to me a stroke of luck called you…
a one in a million you.
I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill.
Until I found a piece of happiness to call my own.
And life is worth living again.
For to love you, to me, is to live…
i told you it was corny! well today i took lots of time to write you all back, thank you so much. having time now to get back to my life and sharing this world with you is a great gift. one blog led to another, so of course i have to pass them on cause they’re so beautiful…
Feeding my soul is Corey’s awe-inspiring blog, Tongue and Cheek
thank you for coming, you know i love and adore you!
i’ve been in the doghouse
hi all! it’s been a gross and grueling couple of days but until i can lay my head on my own pillow, getting the place ready is my singular obsession. i call it the doghouse cause our little cabana is pretty much all for daisy. thank god she’s cute (to me anyway) cause her full time care is taking its toll. the doctor says she’s strong as an ox but she does tip over a lot and gets stuck in odd places. so salvatore (below) and i sanded and painted the floor and took 40 years of contact paper off the shelves (that stuff should be illegal)! anyway it’s been hours of scouring and it’s still not up to par but tomorrow i’ll get a bed and some dishes for daisy, then we’re off the couch at my bud’s and into our little abode! (more than anything i want new light fixtures)
ok, now for the nightshift, paperwork, emails, and revamping my website. does anyone love their e-shopping cart/boutique that you work on yourself? sorry this post isn’t more exciting but mostly i just wanted to say hi and send love!
pss: this is the podcast with kimberly wilson for dailyom
psss: i did get to meet with the FabuLOUS FiFi the other day! it was just as wonderful as i knew it would be albeit, too brief. guess we’ll have to meet again, maybe in paris? her also very fabu sister, Sylvie met with us too, and we’re hoping to rendezvous in the south of france in may. you should come too! this pic is courtesy of Janet of Shabbyfufu who was Fifi’s feature shoot and the reason we were able to meet here in florida. i saw some of the proofs and boy are the pics gorgeous!
also want to thank fifi for hooking me up with Tara Frey of Bella Pink who produced this article for Romantic Country. you’re in it so hope you enjoy it!
