The past ten days have been quite challenging to Team Homestead.
This
morning in particular, I was at quite the low ebb despite my best efforts at
focusing on all the good. Some days-- especially cold, rainy days slathered
in ice when cars, vacuums, plow trucks and solar batteries are in a state of disrepair and there is not a rental vehicle available for 6 days straight*-- it is not always easy to find the levity.
Although it is often a
simple matter to see where (or how) I lost my groove, damn if I cannot find
the sucker.
And, for Catrina, who emailed me this morning specifically asking for a
brombie video to lift HER spirits-- I submit the following.
(DISCLAIMER: I think I'm just
going to make one blanket apology for my insipid, baby talk that I do when
filming my dogs and be done with it. There's just no way I'm going to put
on some different "blog" voice for you and although I probably sound
different when talking to people, this is, sad to say, pretty much what I
sound like when it's just me and the dogs).
Bisous, E
*P.S. Hallelujah--- I am now the proud foster parent of a Jeep Commander and people, I literally moaned with pleasure for 30 minutes driving that thing. Oh. My. God. I could sit in that vehicle in the middle of bumper to bumper traffic and I would still be smiling. Sorry to the universe for all the enviromental impact, but OH MY GOD-- this is what heaven feels like.
Forrest says: Those pictures just brightened my day! So glad to hear that you have a car (that was awful, I was so worried when I saw those pics of your car!) . The video of the dogs just makes me laugh. They are just naturals in front of the camera! I miss them so much (and you too! * smiles*)
Bye for now
