I bought a bouquet of roses at the grocery store last night in spite of the fact that I'm experiencing an embarrassment of riches in regards to my blooming bushes. Even though these are spray roses and I don’t have any spray rose bushes (where does one acquire spray rose bushes anyhow?) I feel it was an unjustifiable expense. So flog me.
On to the dog:


The pictures speak for themselves. (BTW, if your dog can read, I will require photographic evidence before buying into such an absurd claim.)
I should really be running around and visiting each of you today but I’m going to watch Grey Gardens instead. Netflix delivered it and if I don’t get it watched and sent back from whence it came, the Big Guy won’t get his next DVD chock full of episodes of Scooby-Doo. The lack there-of could lead to disaster. (For this reason, The Spouse is in the bedroom watching his Netflix delivery all about Winston Churchill. The Spouse and I have similar tastes but it would seem Grey Gardens/Winston Churchill is where we go our separate ways.)
Finally, the reason why I have gathered you all here today: I am guest blogging at Mormonwoman.org (a great site for those who are LDS as well as those who want to hear the truth about being an LDS woman directly from the source) wherein I tell a story about the Big Guy that has heretofore been unblogged about. Click Here for the story (it’s there after the boring bits about moi, I promise!) I hope each and every one of you is having a sunny summer! (Just a reminder, I still have a few copies of Miss D at $18 a pop including shipping--email at write2me@heidiashworth.com if interested.)
