Mae and Her Dogs

Mae is a girl after my own heart. She loves dogs.... or I should say, she loves our dogs, Bama and Scout. Dennis and Mae have a special time each day hanging out with the dogs and fortunately they (the dogs) have taken a huge interest in Mae and are so sweet to her- even when she grabs and pulls on their ears (she has a STRONG grip- poor puppies). Friends for life!On another note, Mae is now sitting up on her own! Her Grandmomma would be so proud of her really good posture.On another, another note, I have a prayer request. One of my dear friends, Val, has had such a horrible time these past 6 months. She lost her 16 year old son in a farming accident this past October. In January her husband had a major stroke and is now in a nursing home with a very long recovery ahead. I think about Val every day and can't begin to imagine the pain and sorrow she must be experiencing now. She is a strong woman who continues to hope for the best- yet she can't help but to feel lost and extremely sad. For those of you who are reading this will you send a prayer her way?
It has been another cold week here in South Dakota. Our warm up last week was a complete tease. I must keep in mind Spring is right around the corner (I hope!).
