I understand your concerns over the gathering; my dad died last month and we struggled to know what to do about a service for him, especially since my sister is immunocompromised (in the end we limited it to immediate family only, and even that was awkward because not all of my family is vaccinated). Such difficult times.<br /><br />The puppy looks adorable, and that baby blanket is really beautiful.<br /><br />Best wishes for the sale of the business, and for Dennis's safety as he travels.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-52876325939543235012021-09-19T07:06:52.428-05:002021-09-19T07:06:52.428-05:00Happy belated birthday wishes to your mother-in-la...Happy belated birthday wishes to your mother-in-law.

We went to our great grand daughter's 4th birthday party and a few days later we learn that 2 of the people that were there had tested positive for Covid. We were holding our breath, thankfully we're okay, I guess the vaccine did it's job. The dogbabies are precious, they can be a lot of work but they will love you like no other. btw, I love dogs!! Beautiful baby blanket, I'm sure baby will feel all snuggly and warm.Visits With Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606696720339004295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-9109831861016382692021-09-16T11:30:17.340-05:002021-09-16T11:30:17.340-05:00Kind of you to do a surprise birthday party for yo...Kind of you to do a surprise birthday party for your mother in law. Looks like a delicious cake. Cute Zoey dog. Nice blanket. I got 2 different small skeins of yarn at Hobby Lobby the other day as they were on sale. I should have got 2 of each of them. I think making a small shawl for a young girl for operation Christmas child box I'm doing this year. Will see. Sad Dennis has to sell the business he worked at for years. Hope all goes well.

The owner has decided to sell it. Covid has not been good to the business since it is mainly international. With no travel allowed most places in the world, business has dropped way off. He has asked Dennis to sell it for him. We’re not sure how soon he will retire. He may be done in a month or two and it may be next year.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-79103598980341091622021-09-14T18:46:03.639-05:002021-09-14T18:46:03.639-05:00What great reasons for being a bit behind--looks l...What great reasons for being a bit behind--looks like a wonderful gathering and the puppies are adorable!

Puppi...I'm so glad your Mom had a wonderful day<br />Puppies are a lot of work, but they are definitely worth it.<br />And I know what you mean about the house feeling less empty. When I first moved out on my own, I had about a week between when I moved and when I picked up Tux and Peno from the rescue I adopted them from. It was a very lonely week. Having "someone" to come home to after work made a HUGE difference. <br />Now it's the same when Dave goes to his Grandma's for the weekend - I never feel lonely because I've got the boys!Wanderingcatstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459444703722115118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-79576393222156709082021-09-14T14:13:03.616-05:002021-09-14T14:13:03.616-05:00Happy Birthday to your Mother-in-Law.

Dogs are such a joy, can’t imagine a life without them. Hoping the business sells quickly so you and your hubby can more fully enjoy retirement. I will be so glad when this pandemic ends, but this summer we did make 3 trips—a family reunion and to see our youngest. Nice handcrafts😊 <br />Blessings, <br />Aimee<br />PS: What are Wichita potatoes?

It is hard to know how much is safe and what isn't. All your food sounds delicious and it sounds like everyone was on their best pandemic behavior. <br /><br />We took a chance ourselves. It was my daughter's in-laws 50th Anniversary and their three sons rented a room at a local restaurant. It was the happy vaccinated couple, the three sons and their vaccinated families, 1 vaccinated teenaged grandchild and six under vaccine aged grandchildren and us. Sad for the restaurant, but lucky for us, too many staff called off and they ended up closing except for our table! So we were the only ones in the place except for staff. Still made my hubby a little nervous. <br /><br />Your little pup is just the cutest thing ever. <br />Miss Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691152819794851137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-15181272146023665382021-09-14T12:35:46.616-05:002021-09-14T12:35:46.616-05:00Happy Birthday to your Mother In Law!
