Hello to all from this little corner of the world. Saturday was a pleasant day without as much humidity. The skies were light blue with white clouds.
Our little Remi is growing taller and is fast. He is still teething and bites a little hard sometimes. He is doing very well on his house training. He sleeps all night. Yay! He looks like a big, black puff ball of fur, but that will soon be gone. He does not like to be brushed, but he will learn. He jumps from the middle of our loveseat over onto my chest, and it is so funny. Just like a little mountain goat. James is waiting on an appointment to see what may help his back. Hoping a pain block will work.
Condolences to all who have lost loved ones. “There are places in our hearts that can only be filled with memories. And there are places in our souls that can only be healed by the gentle hands of time. May you find comfort knowing that thoughts are with you during this difficult time. And may you find peace knowing that there is one more angel in heaven.”

I pray all of you will have a wonderful week and may it be filled with love, joy, peace and blessings. Remember: if you have news, please email me at mimmiepots@gmail.com. I would truly appreciate any news. People from here and those that have moved from our area but still want to keep in touch through the newspaper are hungry for news from home.
Until next week, Happy Trails to You.
