We have been walking through a difficult few weeks. (Hence the blogging absence - Well, that and the fact that our internet provider informed us they can no longer provide service for us unless a couple of large trees come down on the property down the road. This probably would have happened in the storm that hit our town Friday had we been located a mile North of where we are).
But we are coming through on the other side. Through it all, Sophie has been a source of laughter and licks. (Laughter ALWAYS appreciated; licks not so much!!) She has decided she is a hammock dog. It took a bit for her to get the hang of it, but once she did, she was hooked!!
She let K know how much she appreciated helping her transition from 'non-hammock' dog to 'hammock dog'. Oh yeah, can't you just feel the love?
Sophie is also busy keeping watch over Sumo, who is almost aging before our eyes. We've spent more time just loving on him; brushing him and taking him on an occasional walk up the road. (Still one of the highlights of his life).
It's corn season in more ways than one. I am looking forward to my first sweet corn of the season, as I was unable to eat any last year due to the absence of my front tooth. I can't wait for my first bite!!! It is also nearing the beginning of 'detasseling' season. If you are not from Iowa (or another state that grows corn), detasseling is the thrilling work of walking up rows of corn and pulling the tassels off the top of the stalks. Yep. It's not real exciting, but it pays well, and for A that is important as he has not been able to land a summer job. Will keep him busy for the next 3-4 weeks.Well, gotta run. Busy day.
Until Next Time...

God is good and He is so faithful. He uses the difficulties that arise in this fallen world to shape and mold us, so that our faith and trust in Him will grow stronger. We learn so much about His character and who He is when things are hard. I believe pets are a blessing from Him to give us love and laughter, too! Praying for you, Paulette
Oh, I hate that you're going through a rough patch. That's always a difficult time and somehow you do make it through. I'll be thinking of you.
Sorry to hear you're going through some tough times. The love and support of my family always helps me through the tough times.
Sophie looks extra happy to be laying there in the hammock. :)
Hey - hope things will be OK soon. I'm thinking of you. The photos of Sophie in the hammock are hilarious :-)
So sorry to hear things have been difficult, but you are right - God is good and He is ever faithful. I should be focusing more on that myself, as we've had a really stressful few months here and sometimes I think I will SNAP! : )
Sophie looks adorable in the hammock!

(And the second photo of K and Sophie is just priceless! Did you put it on the fridge yet?)

I'm so sorry and I hope you know that I'm thinking of you. Did you get my e-mail to your new e-mail address? Molly would be happy to come and provide lots of comfort as well!
I am so sorry to hear that y'all are going through a rough patch! I hope you all are doing ok now. We, too, are in a bit of a rough patch, here, so I can empathize with you. Hugs! Marianne
