Hello, friends. Maybe you've noticed the sparseness of my posts lately. I'm behind in everything and everywhere I turn there's another job to do, another matter to address. Do not worry, I'm okay, I've made a few cards and will start posting them soon and then I'll be ready to get behind again. Isn't that the way it goes sometimes? As Rich's health grows worse there is more required of me. Just in the last month there has been a big change and I'm still adjusting. I'd hoped it was a temporary setback, but perhaps not. Nevertheless, we keep on enjoying what we can whenever we get a chance to do so.
The photo below was taken the Sunday after Christmas when my son and I took Sophie and Ridley for a fun doggie day in the dunes. My favorite part of the dunes are the woodland trails where we can walk for miles. Here we had stopped for a rest in a mossy patch. You can tell the dogs had been having a good time by how their tongues are hanging. Our Ridley is growing into a fine young man, isn't he? He's 8 months old now.
Pictured below is Christmas day -- Sophie wants ALL the toys!

Oh Leslie. My heart goes out to you. Give my best to Rich. Keep strong Leslie.
That message was from me Leslie. Keep strong. I keep forgetting to make sure my name is on the comment and keep forgetting. Old age…
Good to hear you are okay and sorry to hear Rich's health is getting worse and you do just have to enjoy what you can when you can as you say. Ridley is definitely growing into a handsome young man. Take care both of you.

Oh Leslie I am behind a bit myself as I had no idea Rich is having health issues. My husband had 2 strokes last October and I'm his caregiver too so I know what you're experiencing. Please be sure you get enough rest and take care of yourself. I will add you and Rich to my prayers. Seeing Sophie and Riley make things better for all of us. I still miss Wally and LuLu too. Take care. ♥️
Love seeing the pups. Sending prayers for Rich and you.
Dear Thank you so much for sharing your life with us the good and the bad. I always enjoy reading your letters and appreciate them. I love the pictures of your dogs both during the walk and at Christmas, those are very happy times. Although I enjoy your comments on my blog please don't feel that you have to make them. I enjoy your pictures and your posts and looking forward to seeing them soon. Sending hugs and prayers for you and Rich
You know that you and Rich are in my thoughts and in my prayers. Thanks for sharing the photos. Sending hugs.
Prayers for both you and Rich, Leslie! Sweet pics of your pups <3
Dear Leslie, I am so sorry to hear that Rich is getting worse, I have been wondering if that is the case. I continue to keep you both in my prayers everyday. Praying God gives you strength to take on the extra things and give you time away that you can create and have time away from all that is going on. So Glad you and your son were able to enjoy a good walk together with the furbabies and enjoy some outdoor time. Take care my friend, sending hugs!
My heart goes out to the both of you, I'm sure those two adorable dogs cheer you up every day xx
So sorry to hear that Rich's health is not the best. I fully understand having just gone through a scary health issue with Mike. It's not easy to get everything done that needs to be done. Hang in there my friend. - Loved seeing your gorgeous dogs. They both look so happy.
Lovely photos of Sophie and Ridley, my heart goes out to you, take care xxx
I'm sorry for the setbacks and happy for your inbuilt entertainment. Sending virtual hugs and prayers. XOXO
Sending lots of warm hugs and prayers for both you and Rich...hang in there Leslie! Life sure can throw some curveballs and it's just plain hard to keep up sometimes! I'm glad Sophie and Ridley bring so much joy...give them both a hug for me. :0)
Sending you hugs and prayers from Buffalo, NY! Sorry to hear that your hubby is not doing well. I enjoy all of your blog posts whether it's cards, doggies or family updates, but take your time. You are needed else where right now. Debbie xoxo
I'm so sorry, Leslie! I wish I could help you in some way.
Thinking of you sweet friend. I no longer have to be the caregiver as I am a widow but I have slowed down to barely a crawl over the last year! It seems to take me forever to do the smallest thing and then of course you must sit and rest a spell! LOL...I'm so grateful to be still moving at all and thank God for each day. I don't craft much but am hoping to get back into the swing of things. Lovely photos of those sweet babies!
Oh geesh, I was wondering how he was doing, I'm so sorry, not a way you were expecting to have for retirement, nor he, I surely hope and pray things get better for you, i has to be heartbreaking! At least you have your beautiful fur babies to hug and cry on, what would we do without them!! Beautiful pictures of them both, my Mack got under the tree this year and opened his present, luckily he stopped with his own, HAH! But they sure do bring us joy, daily, hourly, by the minute!! Thinking of you!!
Leslie, I'm so sorry to hear that Rich's health has worsen. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Love seeing the pics of Sophie & Ridley, as I know how much joy they bring to you and Rich every day. Remember take time for yourself and create when time allows. Sending hugs,
Happy to see your wonderful post. We all just need to make the best of things when we can ... and you are doing that. Thanks goodness for Sophie and Riley. You have constant companions to lift your spirits and entertain. I LOVE that Sophie had a mouth FULL of toys, but still managed to challenge Riley in a tug-of-war over the remaining toy. :) Sending love and best wishes for the new year, my friend. Love, Loll
Leslie, thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us. Your darling fur babies reflect all the special love you and Rich give them. I'm sorry to hear of Rich's continued decline. It's a hard thing to experience, both for the caregiver and the cared-for person. Sending you my friendship and empathy.

Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. they look like they had a grand old time. So sorry to hear about Rich. Life can throw some curves. Set backs are always so difficult. I've learned to take one day at a time and enjoy the time we have with our loved ones! I will keep you and Rich in my prayers.
