My sister PJ and her family lost their beloved golden last week. He was a great dog and he loved them all so much. They rescued him years ago when his original owners couldn't take care of him. He was a lucky lucky dog to have landed at Powers Pond and I know PJ and the boys and Jeff felt they were lucky to have him too.
Here he is celebrating at Jordan's high school graduation.
And here's an older picture of him with Jacob, I think. Mack was happpiest when he was sitting right on top of you, getting petted. He just adored his family.
Thinking so much of Mack and PJ this week has made us think of our goldens that we have lost and how thankful we are for the goldens we have now. We will miss Mack, but he lives on because he is a golden we loved and who loved us.
Love a Golden is where we rescued G Dog and Lilla. We're writing them a Christmas check in memory of Macky Mack. Love love to my sis and all.
I found this recipe for cookies in last week's paper and they were really really good. Cut them as small as you'd like--they're little crispy buttery almond bites. (PJ gave me the crocheted dish cloth when we were at the craft show. Love it!)

My friend Chele gave me this blooming plant. It's so pretty and I had a great time adding some fun things to dress it up. 
I'm still finding pictures from my Michigan trip. This is Maxwell, PJ's cat. Isn't he handsome? He was really good to pose for me. I kept a little clipping from a newspaper interview years ago. It was about a pet photographer who said that he quit photographing people and turned to pets for one very good reason: "Because cats never complain they look fat in a picture." Same with flowers. You never hear one complaint from a daisy. . .
This is a picture from my mom's booth at The Town Peddler. She makes the sweetest little pillows! 
This is a little tree that Larry Green's mom crocheted for us years ago. Larry worked with us at the hospital and he was a wonderful chaplain to all of us. He was also Mark's fishing buddy and they made several trips to Minnesota to fish up there. He's retired now and lives in Indiana. But his mom's tree makes an appearance every year and makes us think of him :-)
