Happy Father's Day!

One morning, a son asked this father: "Why are you making
Mommy breakfast? Is she sick?"

"No dear," I replied, "It's Mother's Day."

"Oh," said the son, "then is every other day Father's Day?"

There is beauty all around

Lately seems like I am noticing more and more beauty all around.
I have always enjoyed this big beautiful world and its greatness.

I don't even like cactus, but came home to these beautiful flowers that had bloomed at night?


a beautiful tree in Colorado with the most gorgeous pink flowers.

Clint Black

Went to Clint Black with my friend Becky.... he played at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale. It was awesome, a small venue. I scored a guitar pick, so if you know me, it was great night of fun and right in my niche of life.... I LOVE concerts!

lunch with (Sis) Jean Shupe

We had lunch with (Sis) Jean Shupe, she was a senior Sister Missionary in New Jersey. She and Colten sparked a great friendship. She used to live in Arizona and was here visiting her son and family. I had met her when she was here, before Colten finished his mission. We quickly became friends. She waited a long time to give her favorite return missionary a big HUG. I had a wonderful lunch, as they talked about New Jersey, the mission and the their memories. We adore you (Sis) Jean Shupe!

No this is not a drive thru grooming shop

On a busy Saturday morning, at Aardbark Grooming about 9:30 am, we experienced the loudest crash of glass, metal, undescrible, some thought it was a earth quake, who knows... but as it turned out, a car projected thru the front of my business, a customer thought she hit her brake.... NOT, it was her gas petal, and this was the result. WOW, we were blessed. Not a soul injured, not a animal hurt. Truly a miracle for sure. I know Heavenly Father was watching all of us!
