Cathy C. Bennett's Blog – November 2013 Archive (10)

In my travels, I haven’t met many people who don’t enjoy birthdays and holidays, have you?

Speaking of birthdays – It is hard to believe that my little Harley Darley is a whopping 5 years old today…

I am in love with this face!

Two weeks ago (seems like) he was just a pup! Scared to go down…

OMD (oh my doodle) this weekend was a weather nightmare for me! As my mother used to say back in the day when we lived in New York: “Jack Frost came this way last night.”

Up until this weekend, I had been “bamboozled“ by this incredible weather. Clear skies, bright sunny days with a mild to moderate breeze every now and then. “Sweater weather” the retailers called it. So when Mr. Jack Frost decided to “pounce” upon us, it caught me…

I have an older brother – actually he’s the oldest, and he lives approx. 9 hours south of me. When I heard his VM Sunday evening, I looked at Harley and said: Guess who’s coming to dinner?…

This is the look I get when we’re having a conversation

His birth name is…

I have difficulty letting go of seasons!

Once all the leaves have fallen off the trees, and they dry up and go crunch under my feet, I must force myself to adjust to yet another change in seasons.

Right after the Autumnal Equinox (September) when the sun is directly over the equator, the sun’s direct rays shift into the southern hemisphere for the next six months as I struggle to accept that my summer is officially OVER.

“Indian Summers” in…

These are the sort of weeks I like, when they start out with Mellow Mondays!

In addition to being a FT Doodle Mom, my weekends can get rather hectic.  I am active with the Senior Ministry in our church, and DH sometimes can be stretched pretty thin with his many social and civic commitments. This past weekend all our projects and activities seemed to collide, having us pulled in different directions for extended periods of time.

Rarely is…

Look at you!

Saw that title “True Confessions” and thought “hummmm” what on earth happened in“Doodleville?”

Curiousity got the best of you so you stopped what you were doing, clicked “read more”, and here you are.

Can’t say I blame you! I would have done the same thing.

Even though I didn’t cancel the NFL package, wreck the car or accidentally throw away a telephone…

This blog post is not so much about Leo & Harley as much as it’s about me! I have a fear of large dogs…

I know exactly how she feels

But here’s the twist – my fear isn’t for myself it’s out of concern for The Boys……

Thursday was a special day for one of our Little Rascals (that’s “doodle talk” for the children on the block that play with The Boys).

Thursday was Taylor’s Birthday…

Taylor and Leo

On the way home, DH stopped by …

Tuesday to me is “the” most insignificant day of the week. It seems to get lost between Monday’s madness and “hump-day” Wednesday.

It just sort of slides by, and rarely carries any lingering fond memories with it. Except for this week. This Tuesday was “an extraordinary day!”

The weather – typical November – overcast, little chill in the air but no “biting” breeze. I loved it. It was not hot nor humid, yet you didn’t need a heavy…

I won’t bore you with the details of my camera woes (the best laid plans).

Suffice to say, there was a happy ending:

• the one I had – Nikon no longer carries
• I did however get a full refund
• the one I found I really like
• and it was only a few dollars more.

Now comes the hard part. I need camera lessons – self taught of course!

Lately we’ve been having simply pawgeous…
