Soaking Up LOVE.

 For the last month I floated back and forth in search of peace, love and all the bodies of water I could get near....


The day we decided to lay Bucky to rest, I didn't want the kids to see it.  Although Bucky is Kris' dog, I couldn't bear to have him watch that closure.  I held him in my arms as he slipped away into a slumber. 

It's those moments that seal the deal of not getting anymore animals. 

His loss was total heartbreak for me.  

To Kali, my little sweet sugar that was my driver and road dog that morning...I love you.  (I wouldn't let her in the room either...lol) It's amazing what mom's will endure to protect their own. 

I got home from the vet, packed my car to the brim and headed back to the arms of Bill...in Havasu. 



At first when I stared down at this paw print I thought....hmmm is this really Bucky Boys? Then I remembered how long and crooked his little nails were.  It's him. 

I still cry to some country songs, just thinking about him.  Oh man, the love for a dog. 


Walked into this....Bill....pure love.  A good long hug and cry, flowers and a Dirty Martini- 




Bestie drove up with Kali for a weekend of peace and love.  And LOTS of laughs! 

I stayed a week and jammed back South to handle more business, be with our girl, take care of our health and bodies...lol.  And we'd go back to be with The Six Pack for our annual October Run To The Sun Trip! 

Here's a peek of what the last month looked like...

Getting pictures from our oldest birdie out with a new friend he met on a Kayak!  Fishing and soaking up water views, feels and fish.  His body is frail and so skinny but his thoughts are the more he moves the better he does feel. Good days and bad, there's nothin better than being by the water....THAT'S FOSHO! 


Grant found a newborn kitten at his shop.  One day old.  Kali's fostering and he's thriving! 






2 Weeks Old Today! 

I found letters I wrote to my son while weeks pregnant.  18 years old.  Crazy.  It's amazing the accumulation of letters, books and mementos I've saved for my birdies.  So neat to read back now....



And THEN THE SIX-PACK ARRIVED!!



















My friends are synchronized swimmers, don't be jealous!




Over Twenty Years of friendship....years of laughter, tears, good news and bad. We've blended our lives, love and loss into Six Humans that get one another.....So grateful....

I cooked my first soup of the Fall Season....Some for us, and some for Kris and Lexi!



And then the wind came like a vengeance....






I still can't believe he's gone.  The memories with that little dude....

I hope everyone is getting through the chapters and pages in this life.  There's so much good and so much bad.  There's pressures and fears. 
There's heartbreak and there's happiness.





Wash your hands.

Leave love notes.

Hug those you love every. day.  


This Mama Lisa


I have so many more pictures to upload.  Today is my chores day. Errands and business mode. 


Go spread love and kindness.  Even if you have to pull up that mask and smile at those in need....


Love.


Love always wins.
