I believe that once you select a healthy seed, all your Cedar needs to grow big and tall is some good dirt, lots of rain, and of course, some sunshine!
Now that would make a good Cedar, don’t you think?
Here, take a taste and see…
… the bark tastes like chocolate!
Hey guys, it’s me Gabe…
Bailey and I thought it would be fun to play dress-up while mom’s out shopping this morning. Everything was fine til we got to the goat. Who knew that a goat would look so ridiculous in coveralls?
Oh well, at least we look cute! And that was really what our goal was, any how. Why was looking cute such an important goal for us? I’ll tell you why, my friends.
When mom goes to the store, she gets food. When she gets that food, she then brings that food back to the barn. Our cuteness factor has two purposes:
Who knows, we might even get bonus goodies for making her laugh about the goat’s coverall catastrophe.
One can dream…
A warning label is like a band aid… sometimes, you just gotta rip it off! Once that’s done, you’ll feel better!
For example, if a car battery needs a warning label that counsels you NOT to drink the battery acid that’s inside the box… removing said warning label from the battery will most certainly solve that problem!
Just sayin!
Have a cookie…
Sometimes…
Sometimes, it’s the way he looks at me and smiles.
Then there are times where he doesn’t even have to smile or anything… I can see it in his eyes.
Sometimes, it’s the way he laughs at the silly things I say.
But there are still those moments when things aren’t so funny… he won’t laugh or say anything at all, really. He just rests his shoulder against mine to let me know that he’s there.
Sometimes, it’s the little things he does… like bringing me that first cup of coffee in the morning, or surprising me with my favorite candy bar. It’s not even about receiving a gift, it’s about the planning or forethought, if you will. It makes me feel so loved that he was thinking about me, even when I wasn’t with him. You know, sometimes I’ll wake up from the sensation of him tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear… he’d been lying there watching me, as I slept. Isn’t that so adorable!
I could go on and on about all the sometimes that I have felt loved… and these examples are about my husband. I haven’t even gotten to God, yet! If I could share with you all the times that I have felt God’s love, it would fill a book… oh yeah, I already did that!
Let’s just leave it at this:
With enough examples gathered together, one might say that I always feel loved! But, since it was very hard to pick just one time to tell you about, I opted for a handful of my sometimes.
Don’t forget your cookie…
If Eustace and I can help it, wherever we go and whatever adventure’s we take you on this year… we’re going to try filling them with laughter!
Why?
Well…
Why not?
Laughter is good for the soul…
And, the One whom I follow and serve happens to be in the soul business, and He does have a sense of humor… I’m certain of it!
Where do you think I get my sense of humor from?
It runs in my family!
I don’t have a favorite… but I love strawberry or lemon. Perhaps the flavor in the little pink animal cookies comes close to ticking both boxes… I dunno!
I don’t actually have a favorite real life animal, in case you wondered whether or not I fully understood the daily prompt question. I understood it, but there’s just too many choices within the animal kingdom… I don’t wish to pick just one!
Here, have a cookie…
I know they’re not frosted, but their still pretty good.
I’m not really happy with the pictures I used to update Journey With Me’s website for the new year, so I’m sort of on a quest to find a fun theme for this spring. What to do, what to do?
I could go full nautical, with short stories, ditties, and fun seafaring food recipes… stuff like that.
Or, I could head for the hills with a camping, hiking, woodsy theme…
I don’t think I’m up for foodie stuff on a large scale, and I doubt you are either. We’ll just keep to the cookies,
with an occasional review from Gabriel, who considers himself a pretty good judge of flavors…
What I am seriously considering is a fun mystery kind of theme. Some of you may remember when I did several episodes last year called Tuesday Tattler, which read somewhat like a journalist writing a column in a paper…
If I do a mystery theme, I think it would be really fun to take this miniature version of my persona and take her around the world on some hilarious assignments…
If you haven’t noticed yet, I deplore boredom… can’t stand wasting my brain!
And… if I don’t like reading the same old same old, I suspect that you don’t either…
As a writer, it’s important that I keep your reading experience fun and engaging, among other things. Your thoughts are important to me, so let me know what you want to see more of this year…
And I’ll get right to it!
As Castle says, “It’s what I do!”
No pirate worth their salt would so easily offer up coordinates to their buried treasures… and I’m as salty as they come!
The cookies are free to those dropping by in friendship…
As for the daily prompt question… well, it’s going to have to walk the plank!
We finally got to sleep in, with mom’s back hurting and keeping us up and all. She actually slept all night long… and barely even moved! I, being the older puppy (even if it was only by 12 minutes), felt some concern at first. I insisted that Bailey lick the inside of mom’s ear just to see if she would move. She did, but only to swat at her ear, nearly missing Bailey’s backside as she did so…
No worries… my sister slid down onto the pillow safely. But, you have to admit that it would be pretty funny if mom’s hand made contact with Bailey’s bootie at just the right time, flinging her onto dad’s head. On second thought, maybe not…
It’s really nice here, and we might both get kicked out of the bed… guilty by association, dad would say.
Anyways, as I, Gabriel, seem to be the only one concerned about sending you your Monday message (well, the only one awake), have taken the time to make breakfast for everybody.
Help yourselves and enjoy the goodies. I think I’m gonna snuggle back down with mom and sis for a bit…
Have a wonderful Monday!
While I usually stick to cookies, right now, I’ll welcome anything fed to me… preferably, take-out or anything I would normally deem unhealthy!
Why?
Because I’ve been flat on my back for 4 days with my back locked up, that’s why. Isn’t it standard protocol to consume tons of unhealthy comfort food when you’re laid up? I’m certain that I’ve read that in a magazine or something.
Anyway, right now, I could go for some really good Pad Thai Chichen (I’ll pay for eating all that spice, but I’ll let tomorrow’s Wiwohka worry about that) and some really good ice cream (the more nuts, caramel, and chocolate, the better).
Well, WordPress asked!
I hope you all appreciate the work it took, just to mix your cookie dough this morning…
Journey With Me!
