Fingers Crossed!

Today has been great. This morning June, Eileen and Jim came out to walk our dogs, and then Marvin, our good friend and neighbor showed up to volunteer! Thank y'all so much for all that you do!

Since I painted "the wall" a few days ago I have been busy reupholstering the chairs, making new curtains and painting new rugs—in between running the rescue ranch and returning phone calls and e-mails. It seems that every time that I paint a wall or change something inside, I end up redecorating and it drives me crazy until everything is done and looks right. Thank goodness, I figure that I only have about four more hours left to finish my new work-in-progress and can then rest.

A little after twelve-thirty, Tony and I went to Medina for two reasons. One, to eat lunch with Eileen and June and then go to the Medina Ace Hardware, so I could buy some paint. Lunch was a lot more fun and entertaining than picking paint colors for the rugs and cabinets—just ask Tone. And, thank you June for treating us to lunch—you're too sweet and our lunch was delicious.

This evening I discovered that our web site: utopiarescue.com is temporarily down due to some technical problems and it should be fixed and back up by tomorrow.

For today's good news—it looks like Jill is finally going to find her forever home tomorrow, with a very nice woman, who lives in San Antonio, who knows Jill's story and she can't wait to adopt her. Tony and I have our fingers crossed for that sweet little dog. This will be her fourth time to get adopted and hopefully this time it will stick. And, please keep your fingers crossed for her, too.

It is nearly eight o'clock and I am tired. After I post this blog, I plan to read some more of Doug Fine's fine and funny book, for an hour or so, and then I am hitting the hay.

Y'all have a great evening!
