Hiatus

Sorry I've kind of been on a hiatus as of late. As mentioned previously, my mother has been ill and is still seeing doctors and having tests run. I live 130+ miles away from her, so trips home to check on her and my dad are pretty exhausting, especially when they start and end within about 24 hours. My hubby is currently snoozing on the couch because he's battling a sinus infection and feels terrible. Quite honestly, I don't feel so great myself, so I'm going to grab a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream, wrap up in a blanket and watch what's left of Thursday Night Football.

Happy October, folks! May autumn be kind to you :)

I leave you with this picture of eternal cuteness — one of my dad's 5-week-old puppies lapping milk from a saucer:

This is Betty Jo, named after one of my late aunts. Her momma wasn't feeding her enough, so we gave her some milk, which she LOVED! Cutest, tiniest puppy ever.
