Making the Switch from Shepherdess to Formal Attire

This month, I don't have any earth-shattering news like last month's Fly On The Wall post where I shared how my memoir, Battered Hope, and my radio show Never Ever Give Up Hope were 'discovered' by Washington D C where I will be attending a gala affair in October to be recognized and awarded.

As a result, I have had several more requests for speaking engagements and am booked solid until February.  My head is spinning with excitement and I keep pinching myself to be sure this isn't a dream.

I ordered my gown on-line which was risky, but I couldn't find any formal attire in our small town.  It fits beautifully and hubby is making me a sapphire necklace and earrings to go with it.








This week, I am at my daughter's farm doing the house/dog/cat/sheep/goat sitting stint while she is traveling.  It is a wonderful time for me to play catch-up with my writing and on-line activity. Have you ever had a week to work without interruption?  To eat when you are hungry and stay up all night writing?  I rarely leave the property although a bit of cabin fever is threatening me.  Maybe I will venture out into the real world today.

I am amazed how well-behaved and calm the newest addition is considering he is a four-month-old puppy who was found wandering on the highway.   His name is Rocky and he is enjoying his new family of five step-siblings.

There's a good chance Charlie's pregnant -- she escaped the property and ran away with the Golden Retriever who was standing at the gate beckoning her a couple weeks ago. Bernese often have very large litters -- six dogs plus a litter equals a LOT of dogs.  Want one? 

Charlie was almost uncontrollable when Rochelle rescued this large mountain dog who, for the first year of her life, lived in a cage that was too small for her body. Charlie is now loveable, obedient and the happiest dog in the world!

This is a Fly On the Wall monthly post where a group of bloggers share what went on in their homes behind closed doors.

Have fun reading the other contributors monthly stories. It's one of the 'funnest' blogging challenges anywhere!
