To coin one of Ruby's favorite sayings:

"Just like Momma!"

Ruby's Book Club...

...only has 3 rules*:

1. Book will be chosen by Ruby and/or Bear at all times.

2. Books can and should be read multiple times before switching titles with no complaints from reader and or fellow book club members.

and finally,
3. Everyone MUST BE WEARING A BOW**, NO EXCEPTIONS.

*Ruby's Book Club reserves the right to change any/all of these rules at any time without notice to suit the needs of it's founder & her fuzzy silent friend.

**No bows were harmed during the making of this post.

Peaceful...

Mother's Day...

...a little early!


Thank you to my wonderfully sweet & thoughtful friend Sherry
for these GORGEOUS flowers, that,
not only brightened up my WHOLE HOUSE upon their arrival,
but made me realize just how lucky I am
to have her as my friend!

*hugs*

Finally...

but thanks to a little gift from my beloved fuzzy friend Ebenezer,
It's now time to show you all what you've missed...

One Year Ago Today...

...I said my final goodbye's to my beloved friend Ebenezer.
I just can't believe it's already been a whole year.
I miss him.
SO MUCH, I miss him.
*tears*

(I don't know if this is a gift from my boy or not, but you'll all please notice that his picture is here, posted, without a blogger hitch. Coincidence? Or the power of love?
I'm going with love...
Thanks buddy, I miss you!)
