Guinness' new stompin' grounds

Guinness AKA Mommy's Little Piggy got a new cage. The doc suggested this, he thinks that's why his feet keep breaking out, an allergic reaction to the plastic  in the flooring of his old cage. He really seems to enjoy the new place. I must say, it's a LOT easier to clean too :)

What will happen?

Went to the doc today for my MRI results for my knee. My left knee hurts! And it hurts for a good reason. In simple terms I have torn the cartlage in my knee. I may need surgery. Geepers!

Goodbye Sweet Charlie Boy

My heart broke this weekend with the loss of my sweet cat Charile Boy. It was sudden and unexpected. He was so beautiful and had the most gentle and sweet disposition. I loved this boy so much. His favorite pass time was sitting in the window. He LOVED being petted. No amount of petting was ever enough for this sweet boy. I had Charlie for four years, he was two when I adopted him. I love him and I miss him so much. I wish he were still here.

I will not forget

The million dollar guinea pig

Yep since I've gotten him in Jan. He's cost me about $600! That's three vet visits and two cages. Ah but he is a cutie...

Baby Groot

Here's my solar powered dancing baby Groot. He's hand made. I got him from eBay before the crafter was banned from selling him there!

My dad

A year ago today my dad did the one thing I thought he could never do. He died. My dad was a great man. I know people say that a lot about others but truly he was. He was the best dad. He loved me unconditionally. We were very close. He spoiled me, taught me great things but most of all he loved to spend time with me. I think of him every day. Although it seems a little bit easier, it's still hard. I miss him. It feels like it has been years since he left, but I remember it all very vividly as if it were just a few hours ago. 

I know without a doubt he's with me every day. Dad wasn't a church-goin man, but he believed in Jesus. My dad also had a good handle on how to love others... Just as the Lord does. 

I love you dad! I miss you.

Here's a picture from last year. He's holding his other fave little girl, Sophie. Yeah, she was spoiled too. 

Guardians of the Galaxy 5

Enjoyed my fifth viewing of Guardians of the Galaxy. LOVE this movie. It's funny, fun and heartfelt. Groot is my fave character, but I like all of the Guardians. It may go on the bucket list to meet one some day :)

So I'm a day late... I was busy lol

Crafty fun

I made a quick stop at the craft store tonight and ended up buying items for two projects. One is a gift I can't share yet. The other is below. It will look beary cute in my Gatlinburg themed room.

Share a Coke with F-R-I-E-N-D-S

Got a Diet Coke today from a vending machine while at the hospital. And look who it suggests I share it with...

FRIENDS is my all time fave show. I miss it. I miss those characters who I grew so close too, almost as if they were my real life pals. I don't feel this way about any other TV show. It's on my bucket list to meet at least one of the actors who played in the series... Some day... Some day...

Piggy slobbers

Every time I get my Guinea Pig Guinness (aka mommy's little piggy) out to play Sweet Pea comes over and he bravely stretches to give her a kissie. What a sweet boy. 

TBT: my papaw

Today's post is in honor of my papaw. He's 81 and having some health issues. This photo was taken a few years ago, the shirt was made by my little cousins.

Hey, r u talkin' to me

Here's Chinny, my Chinchilla. He's an odd little fellow. So furry, so soft, yet so tough, kinda like Robert De Nero, although the actor is not really furry. Unlike most of his kind, Chinny does not like to cuddle. However, his mama (me) has been known to force him. He acts like he will bite. He puts on a show and puts up mean chirp, but there's not a mean bone in his wittle body. He's my Chinny Chinny Poo Poo. I love this furry monster.

My beautiful Charlie Boy

Wasting away in Margaritaville...

Well mom and I were just eating and enjoying virgin Piña Coladas :) sadly we did not get caught in the rain.

Sweet Pea necklace

This necklace is made in the image of my Sweet Pea, featured in yesterday's Woedless Wednesday.

I'm proud to proclaim: I'm a Swiftie

You can love her, you can hate her, but I LOVE Taylor Swift. I'm a prod Swiftie. So excited for her new album in October. The Speak Now album is my fave of her's. I was going through a very tough time in my life and that album was one part of my healing. No matter how you feel about her, there's no denying the girl's got the ability to strike a cord with her words. Here's a pictiure from the Red tour. The stop is Columbus, OH. I went with my niece.

I am Groot!

Lego love

Took my nephew Zach to the Lego store for his 12th birthday. This is the gift he picked. I had a feeling he'd pick this one when I saw it, it sorta screams Zach lol. I didn't say anything tho and this is what he picked. He said it's the best Lego set he's gotten so far (he has tons). Translation: Liss is the best aunt ever LOL.

Where's the froggy?

Pug pedicure

Ricky shows off his newly trimmed paw. He's such a showboat...

A great fall...

Here's my nephew and I on the Diamondback at Kings Island.

So this is me

Welcome to pic-a-day. I'm Liss, a compulsive photo taker. I've been scrapbooking for years and am now mixing my love of capturing memories with social media. After all, what good are memories if they aren't preserved and shared. So here we are. Inspired by Becky Higgins Project Life, I'll be taking a photo or sharing a photo that I LOVE on this blog daily. I hope you enjoy these brief glimpses into my life. I hope this blog inspires you to capture and share your memories, indeed a most precious gift from God above.
