Ten Years Already!

It was 10 years ago this week that we moved into what would become "Golden Pines." 
~Home sweet home, 10 years ago~
We moved here with Wendy, Josh, Charlie, Sheba, Rudi, CarrieAnne, Kasey, Logan, Cubby and our cat CC.  We've welcomed and really loved sharing our lives with dogs named Cowboy, Tanner, Maguire, Sam, Annie, Hamlet, Toby & Bubba, Sandy, Cricket, Beau, Bella, Buddy, George, Taylor, Riley, Teddy, to name a few. 

~Part of the "original" gang~
And we now share our lives with Charlie, Cissy, Jake, Bo, and......Well, you get the idea. 
Of course the star of the household is Todd. And of course it goes without saying that I never thought ten years ago we'd have this little Scottie, that may be small in stature, but is tough and filled with a BIG personality.
Yes, there are some things I wish I could change. But many more things that I wouldn't.  I'm grateful and thankful to be able to live where we do.  So onward to the next 10 years we go! 
~Home sweet home, today~

  10. In some ways, it feels as if the time has flown. The dogs (and cat) were/are very special. I'm so glad I 'met' them all.

  13. I may be thick headed, but I just now got why you named your place Golden Pines! Duh... Your gang through the years may have changed up a bit, but they are all such beautiful soles.
