Where shopping is a pleasure (really!!!)

I LOVE Publix. Some people (my husband) say that it is more expensive than other stores. It does not matter to me.....it is so pleasant to shop there. About two weeks ago I had taken Max to the vet for another nauseatingly expensive trip. After the vet, I had to go to Publix to get a medicine for him. When I got there, the pharmacist asked me if the medicine I was getting was for my dog. I said yes. She sort of looked at me funny and asked me for $95. I about passed out. After a fat bill at the vet I refused to pay $95 at a human pharmacy for my dog! She was so sweet...she noticed I was not happy (I am not sure how you couldn't). She asked me to call my vet and let her talk to him. She gave him a list of several medicines that they provide for free. And guess what, one of them could do the same job as the $95 medicine. So... I left with a free Medicine from Publix for my dog.



Yesterday, we had to have something filled at the pharmacy for Tate. While we sat there waiting Tate was admiring the Thanksgiving balloons. The sweet lady that was putting out flowers noticed Tate was fascinated by the balloons. She walked over, filled up a balloon for Tate, and gave it to her. I picked up my (once again free) antibiotic, and out we went. A balloon and some ear infection medicine-ALL FOR FREE. That is hard to come by these days. Tate said "Wow" the entire way home. That sweet lady at Publix made her day!

Trip to Montgomery!

Yesterday we went to Montgomery to meet Baby Wyn Brown. He is so cute and such a good baby. Tate and Anna Belle had a great time playing! Here are some pictures from our trip:

The Best Entertainment!

I know I complain about stinky dogs and dog hair all the time, but these two guys have been the best entertainment and company for Tate lately. She loves to pile all sorts of things (toys, shoes, hairbrushes) around them. Lately she has been really into pointing out their facial features...eyes, mouth, ear.




"Lennie's Ear"

My Little Secret

This morning I was fixing breakfast (yummy Better Batter pancakes) and I heard Tate whining for something. I peaked around the corner and saw this:



She is into EVERYTHING so I really didn't think much about her pulling the filing cabinet drawer open. I went to close it because I didn't want it to tumble over on her. When I got over there I discovered she has been leaving a small stash in it:



Four pacifiers and a disgustingly old sippy cup of milk. UHHH! What if she had been able to reach that "chunky" cup of milk. She would be one sick cookie. The pacifiers are now in the dishwasher and I couldn't stand the thought of opening that sippy cup, so it is in the trash!

Halloween

Friday night we went Trick or Treating with a group from our neighborhood. Tate had a great time getting candy from all the houses. Once we finished with our neighborhood, we went to Jon and Britt's rental house to pass out candy. All the kids crashed inside. It was a fun night!
