I drink a lot of water everyday. Most of the time it's just plain cold water but from time to time I would add a lemon wedge. I have never thought of adding fruits! I am going to give this a try.

Oh miiiiiinnnnnnt....I've got plans for you.....

p/s: There will be no Golden Friday post this week. The girls have been very busy.....napping.

Have a great weekend!

Wordless Wednesday

Golden Friday

Woof woof my fury friends(and humans too), June blogging today. I am so proud of myself this week and I really really had to share.

You see, mom and dad likes to buy this big bag of bones(doggie biscuits) from Tractor Supply store for us. We love those yummy yummy bones. Now the bag is big so it wouldn't fit in the cupboard in the kitchen. So they store the bag of bones in their bedroom closet. The other day dad went in there to change and he left the closet door wide open. Guess what? Free buffet for me! Yup, I helped myself to some bones. It was awesome!!!

Are you guys proud of me or what?

Hey, YD here, I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom and I heard some crunching sound. Upon further "investigation", I found out that it was June enjoying her bones. So I left the bedroom and went to "hide" in the bathroom just to see if she would do it again. Sure enough, as soon as she finished one, she went right back in the closet for another helping! I just had to take a video of this, so of course I left the closet door open(still), so that I could "catch" her in the act. See for yourself:

Samantha here: Wait a minute June, why wasn't I inform of this free buffet? How could you?

Garden Update

I realized I have not post anything about my garden in a while. Here's a little update:
We have moved the garden from the back yard to the front yard area. It is now bigger and better! Hubby was hard at work grading the front yard so that we can have a nice lawn and he also rotatilled this new area for me. It is about 20' x 40' and he fenced it all in for me to keep those wascally wabbits out.


There is not much going on in there yet . I normally start planting the warm weather veggies during the Memorial Day weekend. The average last frost date is May 20 so I usually wait till then. I did plant some cool weather veggies already. Here's the layout of my garden: There are 12 rows total. From the front near the flowers:
Rows 1 - 4: Corn and Potatoes
Row 5: Onions & Cabbage
Row 6 - 8: Tomatoes
Row 9: Jalapeno & Italian Pepperoncini
Row 10: Herbs(Basil, Parsley, Chives)
Row 11: Bok Choy, Chinese Cabbage, Eggplant
Row 12: Cucumbers, zuchinnis, winter squash
What I have already planted:
In the old garden area are: Mesclun Mix, Garlic, Strawberries, Radishes, Chives(I'm debating if I should transplant that out to the new garden or wait till the fall)
In the new garden area: Potatoes(Dark Red Norland & Yukon Gold), Onions(Yellow Stuttgatter), Cabbage, Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage, Parsley(transplanted from old garden).
My sleeping beauties! I was folding laundries one day and when I went to put them in the closet, I saw these two sound asleep on THEIR bed. What a life they have...

Siblings Are Forever!

I just had to show off how talented my scrapbooking-addict-sister is at her new hobby. I cried(at my desk at work) while reading all about this. I miss them very very much!

Golden Friday

TGIF everyone! It is a Golden day! Today we are going to talk about our friends, because we would like to enter into Daisy's Friends Forever Contest. If you would like to enter the contest as well please click here to sniff out/check out all the details about this contest.


Ok Daisy, here goes:


1) Our first friend is actually a family member. She is mom's sister Rebecca. She loves scrapbooking and she has an adorable daughter named Grace. Grace is very cute, we just want to lick her face and give her lots of kisses but they are far far away in Malaysia. Daisy, they are even farther than from you to Milo in Italy. The picture below is one of the scrapbooking page Rebecca made about Grace. Isn't she adorable?




2) Our next friend is this handsome German Shepherd Dog named Kane. Kane is an awesome and handsome dog. Mom loves him! Kane and his mom Lena practice and train in the working dog sport of Schutzhund. The picture below is them "in action". Please check out his blog: Schutzhund Adventures. Other than Schushund, Kane loves to "supervise" his mom when she is in her garden. You know who humans are, they always mess things up, we dogs need to make sure that they get their job done right! You can also visit his mom's blog about gardening and cooking and baking....mmmm, she had a very yummy doggie treats recipe there: Sleeping Dog Bakery.

Apart from these 2 friends, we have lots of other bloggie friends. When you get a chance please visit them. They are on the left side of our blog.

Happy Weekend!
