Peach State says: RIP Precious Princess

The vacant pillow bed, sitting beside my bed, is a silent reminder of my Precious Princess! The sound of her jingle pacing between the door and her bed is just an echo in the shadowy, sleepy darkness.

“RIP Precious Princess!”

It has been an uphill battle…my Precious Princess and Constant Shadow tried to follow me on my daily trek throughout the house but, her legs just couldn’t keep up. She would collapse, slide down or just plain fall on any surface. She couldn’t see me from a distance much less hear me. My heart just ached for her!

Sooo…Saturday night, after many tears were shed, I said my goodbyes! I rocked her and whispered in her ear. She was a sweet girl and I loved her…after all she had been there for me in every struggle and life confused situation. She never judged or talked back and was quick with a snuggle and an understanding look.

For those of you who have pets, that are more like a family member, you understand the emptiness and little reminders that fill the simplest of tasks. Just walking down the stairs with clothes I look for her…I caught myself turning to let her out, one last time, before leaving for church Sunday morning…the tears rolled down my cheeks as I found myself getting ready to set down my dessert bowl for her to enjoy. The click of her wandering through the house on the wood floors and the jingle of her collar are just memories. This may take a while to get use to…she had been part of our family for 16 years! That is a long time and our little family will never be the same without her.

We, hubby and I, wanted to tell each of the boys and asked them not to tell anyone until after we talked with our 21 year old son in the Army. “He was going to be the hardest to tell!” They practically grew up together!

“This picture was the day he left, for BASIC in January!” He talked with her, very quietly, and then silently walked out the door. I remember she looked at me with these bloodshot puppy dog eyes and shook her head and then laid down. She was in the same place when I got home. He took it the hardest, of the four boys, and asked for pics. I sent him these two! I had been trying to prepare him and even stressed that she was waiting to see him after graduation from BASIC.

The tears still flow and my heart still aches…it has only been two days. But, she is no longer in pain and she can have all the chocolate she wants.

RIP Precious Princess…you will be missed!

“May your cup runneth over with joy, love and laughter oh, and really fabulous coffee!”

If I know one thing I know this…Life throws you a curve by letting the squirrels out in random bursts! It has been a week filled with ups and downs and I am so ready for a few giggles…Who Needs A Facebook Funnies Day?
Grab a cup or three of coffee and join me! I may need more due to posting is a bit difficult this morning due to cursor placements!

I don’t know about you but I don’t do before and after selfies…

Sanity anyone?

Supply or Demand?

When it comes to taste…I guess there is something for everyone!

I believe I would be finding a hiding place before the Coffee Maker beeped!

Blog Worthy Award Winner…br />

Squirrel!

Another caffeinated selfie!

The truth is finally revealed…

Blog Worthy Award Winner #2:

Great another sing-song group of words that gets stuck in your head!
With that in mind you have a choice…The Straight-Jacket Award Winner:

With all of this talk about coffee I guess this is normal…

I hope these Facebook Funnies brought a smile to your face…if they didn’t then you probably just experienced the following! Have a great day anyway!

Snow covered back porch…check!
Snow covered front steps…check!
Snow covered yard and sidewalk…check!
Icy streets and driveways…check!!
Not knowing Elsa personally…Boy am I in trouble!

What a week I have had! Needless to say the snow and ice were not the only problems! Let’s see if you can figure out what may have been a problem! How about some “Chilly Facebook Funnies”

I’m Just Sayin’ Award:

Uh…no one got out of their cars to look at the snowflakes! They were busy doing other things!

Straight-Jacket Award Winner:( or…The employees raised money to send you on a snow-filled vacation!)

What do bosses know anyways! (“Don’t get me started about bosses!”)

Blog Worthy Award Winner:

Wish I had seen one of these…they would have highly appreciated!

“Find a place to keep warm they said…Get something to eat and wait it out!” There was a bit of a gap in that governmental suggestion!

Can’t make it home…the next best thing available is the Home Depot!
( sadly the above picture was taken Tuesday here in the Atlanta area…and these people were grateful to Home Depot and the other few businesses open for a shelter from the cold!)

This one just makes me cold thinking about it!

How about a few Non-Weather Funnies?

Oops! That could be a picture of my “Precious Princess” Tuesday night!

Dang…another mention of cold!

Snow and ice on the right…60’s and 70’s on the left..Here I am “Stuck in Georgia with you! ( sorry just humming while I type!)

I would settle for barefoot… Oh wait! I am barefoot if you don’t count the fuzzy socks!

Non-Weather Award Winner:

Now go google the song and sing-along!

Things have definitely been different here! I will fill you in on the current events later!

Peach State says: Short But Sweet Facebook Funnies!

Coughing…scratchy throats…constant blowing of the nose… These symptoms are running ( excuse the pun) rampant on my FB page. It seems to be all anyone is really talking about…unless you add the weather! So I will share the few funnies I have in this

Short But Sweet Facebook Funnies!

Pre-Valentine thoughts! Noooo! Not yet!

I have a cure for that…cover the mirrors.

Straight-Jacket Award Winner:

No meddling! Ketchup! Got it!

With chocolate chips!

I would have shown my son this pic but he was busy texting!

Are we already to that point in the future? I believe I saw some kids at the bus stop sporting that fashion!

Ninja Cat will soon be Chicken Cat!

“How about some coffee?”

I would hate to see what blend mine would be with all the espresso I enjoy!

Ah…priorities!

Making sweet music together!

Fashion Award:

I just had to post this again!

As I get to the end I wanted to share a couple of football thoughts with you! I am overly excited as one of my favorite teams will be playing in the Super Bowl this year…

Blog Worthy Award Winner #1:

Well that is not what I was talking about! (But it is funny!)

Peach State says: Just Feels Like a Facebook Funnies Kind of Day!

After a great and slightly over the top practice, till almost 10 PM last night, with the often talked about cohorts in crime I was wide awake and refreshed. It felt like forever since our last practice due to the holiday schedule and the semi-slapstick comedy routine picked up right where it left off. The remnants of this wonderful evening are still with me this morning…except for the wide awake part! Have no fear…coffee is being made as we speak!
“Done! I even took time to grab a yogurt for breakfast!” Everything is going according to plan and it…

Just Feels Like a Facebook Funnies Kind of Day!

With all of the extreme winter weather you can imagine the FB posts that have been showing up…here are a few:

Global warming is the deviation from below freezing to just above freezing!

Sorry I pressed the wrong button…now back to Facebook Funnies!

Well that says it all!

I think I saw an add in the classifieds for a new Tourism Director!

Now that’s cold!

“The doctor said crushed not cubed!”

Creative forms of transportation are often seen during extreme weather!

Enough of the cold stuff…I am beginning to shiver! How about some Words of Wisdom:

Can I get an Amen!?

My favorite is the stashed empty rolls left behind when the roll is actually replaced!

Blog Worthy Award Winner #1:

You know what I mean…don’t you?

I must apologize in advance for the next statement…”The second lady was a blonde!”

I had something really incredible to capture this funny but for some reason I just can’t remember it right now…maybe later!

Blog Worthy Award Winner #2:

I laughed so loud at this one that my hubby inquired…I shared it with him and he just looked confused! I don’t know what was funnier…the pic or my hubby’s reaction!

The next few are…well, I will let you decide!:

It’s just a tiny fish saying Hello!

Selfie: one of the new words of the past year!

And then she said…”At least I have a job!”

Straight-Jacket Award Winner:

Uh…gross!

And…Blog Worthy Award Winner #3:
( put on your “Name That Tune Hat”)

Did you get it? If you did…I bet you sang it!

I apologize again for pressing the wrong button and posting only one funny! I am sure I could come up with a term for that but I have not had that much coffee yet this morning! Share a smile and…

Peach State says: HoHoHo…It’s Facebook Funnies!

The tree, brightly lit, stands proudly with memory filled decorations filling the branches. The only difference is the barren space beneath the tree! Christmas was wonderful and family time was especially fulfilling this year…and now we start the countdown!
The countdown we have is not the traditional one but that discussion will be for another day…for now we will continue with the weekly countdown to this week’s countdown:

HoHoHo…It’s Facebook Funnies!

It must be a full moon!
With heaviness of heart and a tired spirit I am trying to find a smile…Let’s see if this will help brighten this tension filled world!

Non-Christmas Funnies:

That Flo knows her insurance!

So that is what the Flippin cars look like.

What every teenage male wants…yep!

Blog Worthy Award Winner #1:

And I suppose the same could be said about when it is hot outside…LOL!

Now that is going beyond the call of duty!

Blog Worthy Award Winner #2:

Okay…now I will back away slowly!

Sorry…I would rather watch Football!

Straight-Jacket Award Winner:

Here…have another cup!

Christmas Funnies:

Well…I can understand the need for this unspoken rule!

I am really glad that my boys never had this creepy elf around when they were growing up!

I bet they are glad they didn’t have to get up and go to work!

I knew things were tough…

Speaking of tough…

I have some ornaments I don’t use anymore…I wonder if she could use them!

And my favorite Blog Worthy/Remind You of Anyone Award Winner:

Aww…aren’t we they cute…and what a cute song!

I wish you a wonderful day filled with smiles and humor!

Peach State says: Apologies…Facebook Funnies Have Arrived!

I had to start today with my first Blog Worthy Award Winner!
I am presently working on my third oversized cup of coffee this chilly December morning and I am glad to report that my hubby made it out the door with a smile and no cross-sharp-toned-thoughts-or-words were present….this morning!
What a week! I am also glad to announce that all…”Did I say ALL of the Christmas Shopping was completed yesterday! And about that…I am so sorry that I was preoccupied and forgot to post my Funnies so without further adieu…

Apologies…Facebook Funnies Have Arrived!

The same theme seemed to radiate throughout many of my friends this week…just wait until you see:

Ah…the holiday stresses are beginning to take their toll!

This is so true!

Remind You of Anyone Award:

What do you think of the new “Family Portrait”? James got braces…but you wouldn’t be able to see that! Did you like my new glasses…wait can’t see them either! The twins…they were actually going to smile! “Dang group texts!”

Alright…Relax and take a sip of…

I can think of something else that would be great flowing out of that faucet….ESPRESSO!

So I guess my 20 year old is once again “My Favorite”!

Typically I can shower, dress, put on my make-up, fix a commuter cup of coffee, let the dog in and out, check Facebook …..etc all before my hubby can shower and get dressed. Can I get my medal now?

Alright…I think this mom needs to call my friend’s plumber!

Next we will find the group of friends that are Whovians:

Yep…that’s our little dance!

And the ornament hanging right next to that one is a Sonic Screwdriver!

Oh the places we will go!

The Whovian Award goes to:

And there are some of you that read that with an scary high pitched mechanical voice….Didn’t you?

How about a few animals:

I guess he is making his Christmas Wish List!

And now you know how that special ornament was broken last year!

And a special Holiday Blog Worthy Award Winner:

Will Santa grant that wish? The world may never know!

I once again apologize for the lateness but I hope you saw something that gave you a chuckle! Share a smile!

Peach State says: Facebook Funnies Turkey Leftovers

Pandora is playing Seasonal Classics through the lower level of the house thanks, in part, to Bluetooth technological-capabilities my talent of pushing all of the right buttons! I am waiting for my youngest to crawl from his warm bed before taking the fall decorations down. Christmas will be assembled and placed throughout the house later…so while I wait I will share some of the Facebook Funnies Turkey Leftovers!

Let’s start with a definite winner…Blog Worthy Award Winner #1:

Now that is a mom using her experience to help others!

Family discussions around the table can be very lively…or just a repeat of the previous year!

Yes…reading it quietly to yourself qualifies as a prayer!

How about some snickers from the Animal Kingdom…:

Quickly moving along..

Just a question…”The last time you said “Houston…we have _____!” did you ever get a response…yep, me either!

“Hey…Is that my sweater?”

Remind You of Anyone Award:

Put your hands down!

How many of you are still in your PJ’s? All I have to say is it morning somewhere…right?

Okay that will be quite enough!

Peach State says: Hehe…Haha…Facebook Funnies!

Still moving a little faster than a turtle’s pace but at least I am moving…well enough to fix my coffee and do some laundry and clean out the dishwasher… “You get the idea!”

Are you ready for some Hehe…Haha…Facebook Funnies!?

I need to let you in on a secret! our “Mutual Cat Loving Friend” has been under the weather this week and has not posted any funnies! “I know how she feels and wish her a speedy recovery…oh, and we need some more funnies!”

Let’s jump right in with the Straight-Jacket Award Winner:

Hmmm…Maybe that one should have been the Remind of Anyone Award Winner!

Nope…The Remind You of Anyone Award Winner is:

“How many times has my hubby told our sons he was going to do this?…Too many!” ( no lie…)

Speaking of no lie…

Who can relate?

I showed this to a teenager (18 year old) and he agreed with it whole-heartedly…of course he has three sisters under the age of 7!

Great!…Now I am hungry!

Time for the Cat Parade:

Personally…I have found that if my problem is that bad I can’t sing through the tears…So I guess this statement is true!

Aww…he’s speaking French to me!
