Husbands & Puppies!!!!!!!!!
Hubby's finally home!!!
He arrived home late last night, and it is soooooooooooooo goooooooooood to have him home! It's been about 4 weeks now, since we last rendezvoused *g* in Illinois......hmmmm......loved those rendezvous's!!! *g*
His work took him to Indiana about 3 months ago. Now, he's looking into jobs in Illinois, Texas and Alabama......and making noises if he ends up going, he wants me to be going too. Soooooo, depending on the length of the job, wherever it is, it looks like we'll be going together. If it's a short one, no, but a lot of the jobs are long-6 months and up-so if that's the case, as much as I dislike packing, (un-packing's great-just like Christmas!) I'll go with him.
I hate the thought of quiting my job--I love it, (I drive school bus) but life is about more the work-IF you can swing it, that is!. AND, if he ends up going to Illinois, we'll be able to see the grand-babies all the time!!!!!!!!! (So, you know which one I'll be routing for! Even though we both dislike the cold!!! lol!)
Back in '84, when (Nooooo, NOT 1884! *g*) I moved to Grapevine, Texas (the Dallas/Ft Worth area), I felt like I was coming home--very strange feeling for me, as I'd never been to Texas before. I loved it, and found that there are, mainly, two types of Texans-the ones who'll tell you their life story the first time you meet, and the ones who are like clams---wouldn't tell you a thing if their life depended on it. The only exception to that is if they decided they liked you. I loved Texas. I still do.
While I lived there, I worked for an air freight company. It was a good job, another one I really liked, and since I lived so close to the airport, I heard the noise of the plane when Delta Flight 191 went down. And saw the devastation. It still haunts me now and then. All those lives lost. I didn't realize the impact of this type of disaster until it happened (almost) on my front door-I lived within 8 miles of the airport.
"On the afternoon of August 2, 1985, Delta Air Lines flight 191 crashed while on approach to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, killing 8 of 11 crew members and 126 of the 152 passengers on board and one person on the ground: a total of 135 deaths."
It was so horrible-our trucks (and drivers) were used to store the bodies of the deceased, until other arrangements could be made. For a long time after, you couldn't help remembering--all it took was seeing the ruined water tanks. They said it was caused by wind-shear.
Why have I remembered this now? I don't know for sure, but I think it's because of the vendetta the wicked witch has in regards to a shall not be named successful author.
Life is too short to sweat the petty stuff--live and live well if you can, and enjoy the hell out of it, because you just might not be here to do it later.
Well, this post certain took a meandering path away from hubby & puppies!!!! Right. I'm back on track now. Really.
Last night was the first time my hubby met our new puppy. I've had her now for two weeks. She's 1/2 Pom-1/2 Cairn Terrier, weighing in at 2.24 lbs. She is a cutie!!! And VERY smart and VERY, VERY active!!! Hubby's hoping she stays little bitty--I don't think that's going to be a problem- she has teeny tiny feet. Her name is Little Bit. I thought of the chewy(ish!) candy ' Bit of Honey' (one of my favorites!) when I first saw her and it fits her to a 'T'. She's little and the color of honey.
She is doing wonderful with her training---she's found if she hurrys outside, she gets to hurry back inside!!! LOL!! Plus, she hasn't had any accidents in the past several days in her kennel. Yeah!!! AND, she knows what the word "NO" means! She hopps like a rabbit and it is such a crack-up when she's playing with her toys-yes, she has several!-and spreads them all over. She especially loves the squeaky ones (of course!).
Hubby will be off for a while, maybe even until after New Year's, he's not sure yet. Depends on which job he ends up on. It will be relaxing to have this time together--no 'hurry up and visit' visit's this time. Both are napping now........VERY relaxing!!!! LOL!! He's been sick, too, so the more he sleeps now, the faster he'll get over it. He's had it for over a month, and working in the cold didn't help, either.
I'm going to go cruise (*g* lurk!!!) the net while both are 'napping' and the laundry is washing.....
