~ A Breather ~

I was cleaning out my ever-growing photo files and came upon three that tickled me ~
thought you might get a smile from them too...


Fuzz-bucket Donkeys dressed in their Winter woolies ~~~
(Daisy is much bigger now and has become quite long-legged and elegant)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hannah & Skyler,
always helpful, always smiling & always together...
(we love you both so much!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laughing Kittens
(or more simply, those that really get my sense of humor ...like Iggy)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
remember to take time to enjoy even the tiniest things today...
stop for a second and just breathe ~
drop those shoulders and
...let a smile creep across your face :)

AND in other news...
I have been keeping a secret from all of you.
I have a JOB INTERVIEW today at 10:00
(((...yepper, you read that right)))
~In my 'past life'
(read: before I became a full time arteest),
I was a Dental Assistant in CT
and had a wonderful career in the healthcare field...
I enjoyed it immensely ~ but when I was blessed to become pregnant with Hannah
(after struggling for 7 yrs with infertility treatments)
I vowed to stay home & be a full time Mommy...I must say I think I've done a good job,
but now that she's choosing her path towards college & adulthood,
and since Peter lost his job back in May,
I feel it's time for me to get back to healthcare ~ to contribute to my family just a little bit more.

I am a people-person who loves to help others~
i think i can do this AND still have my beloved career in designing...
I am a positive-thinker and I know that everything always turns out ok...
SO ~
wish me luck at the dental office today,
I'll chime back in later to hopefully fill you in with good news :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
be happy, be productive and be kind.
that's the best we can do!!!


blessings from the farm,
Lori

Lori,
I wish you the very best of luck in your search for employment. The economy has given us all a good kick in the seat. I DO hope that you are able to continue with your designing, as well. Can't tell you how much I LOVE your work.
Those donkeys are waaaay too cute, and the cat just cracks me up. Thanks for sharing. Again, good luck!!

I've got everything crossed for you, Lori! I know you knocked their socks off! Oh, and thanks for letting me know where you got your black tree- my daughter goes to Roanoke College, which is actually right up the street from Charlotte's Web- she went and got me the last 3' one! I guess our trees are sisters, lol!
