I don’t really care for Valentine’s Day as my sister passed on Valentine’s Day. Most of my family is gone but I do what brings me happiness. Today is Valentine’s Day and I’m going to pick up a rescue dog and her babies and transport her to where she needs to be in her travels of being adopted. I get so much joy helping the rescues. Thank you for sharing your party planning. I learned some good tips from you!

I'm so sorry for your loss Wendy, sisters are such a blessing. All my dogs have been rescue dogs, my collie Angus helped me so much when my husband passed at New Year 3 years ago. I know I'll see my husband again when my time comes and this helps. Take care Wendy

Here's a cat funny. I have 2 cats and had a big denim couch with about an inch clearance from the bottom to the floor. I decided to exchange it for a smaller couch. Gave the big one away and when we moved it I found at least 18 odd and sundry cat toys underneath. One of the cats liked to play with twist ties and crackly bottle tops and the other bottle screw tops. There were a bunch of these along with regular cat toys. I had hard wood floors in my kitchen and we had to move the refrigerator on to the carpet so I could have them refinished. The fridge left a trail of toys on the way to the carpet and back. Pretty funny if you ask me. Your party looked like fun.

I love your home. My sister would say you've got a real home, with real people, living real lives and this is clean. There are different kinds of clean, daily deep clean is not realistic for many, daily surface clean is more manageable then there are weekly clean cleaners who touch up during the week. I was the latter. Dishes were done daily and everyone helped. Your place looks comfortably lived in. Until next time much love. 💖
