While I worked it seemed I had minimal time for any social activities. My contact with friends (outside of work) was limited to weekends and holidays because I was so tired all the time that getting together in the evening just didn’t work for me.<BR/><BR/>As for our fur-friends, they do play a special role in our lives don’t they? In some respects, Molly's pretty spoiled because she's never had to deal with me as a "working gal" so she "expects" (and gets) lots of attention. On the other hand, she's better "trained" than some of my previous dogs and knows "the table" isn't her domain.

As life is now, my young family needs me most of the time and girlfriend time is not as often as I'd like. <BR/><BR/>Your little Molly sounds like such a fun little dog. We have a mini-schnauzer that thinks she has a seat at our dinner table :-o)Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613263166159376916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-1563383212636519042008-02-12T05:30:00.000-08:002008-02-12T05:30:00.000-08:00Joy – I do my best to balance life’s activities :-...<B>Joy</B> – I do my best to balance life’s activities :--)<BR/>I don’t do many Red Hat things, but it’s nice to connect with these gals once a month. Occasionally Molly gets the short end of the stick, but for the most part she’s one lucky pooch … living the good life!<BR/><BR/><B>Dream</B> – How wonderful for the two of you! Wind doesn’t bother Molly at all … but I don’t much enjoy being out in it, and fortunately we have enough “pleasant days” that I can make that choice w/o guilt. It's warm enough that I may take her to Dog Beach today. She could use a bath anyway and I could use the exercise. As for yellow lab hair, it’s just a fact of life.<BR/><BR/><B>Karen</B> – My birthday is coming up – 11 days and counting.

I know a couple of ladies who are 'red-hatters.' They seem to love it too. <BR/><BR/>Molly's adorable...very sweet. I see by one of your comments that you made up the time with her just beautifully. I'd say she's a pretty lucky pup.Joy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-18010362161782602812008-02-09T16:24:00.000-08:002008-02-09T16:24:00.000-08:00Sandy – Actually, Molly’s stare is difficult to re...Sandy – Actually, Molly’s stare is difficult to resist (as are her nudges) when she really wants something. We had an enjoyably vigorous walk along the “trail” at the beach, but I didn’t let her run free at Dog Beach because I didn’t have time to give her a bath before leaving to meet my Red Hat sisters for a lovely lunch and pleasant visit. Molly got a “Greenie” as I left and I’m about to take her out to play and take another short walk in a few minutes to work off lunch. I have had a delightful day! Hope you did too.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-76304039206973667732008-02-09T11:33:00.000-08:002008-02-09T11:33:00.000-08:00Hope you have a fabulous time at the luncheon and ...Hope you have a fabulous time at the luncheon and beach!!! <BR/><BR/>How can you resist that sweet stare from Molly (even though I know that's not her..but still). <BR/><BR/>Happy Saturday!Momisodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752015177628948631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-82107884578162220792008-02-09T10:54:00.000-08:002008-02-09T10:54:00.000-08:00Kelly,That's pretty funny all right!

I usually wear purple with red hat and accessories, but since this is my birthday month ... I've reversed the colors and am wearing RED with purple accessories and hat! <BR/><BR/>I noticed your comment as I was shutting down the computer because I'm leaving soon. Thanks for stopping by to say hello. Keep those red and purple outfits handy because there's lots of fun to be had with Red Hatters when you reach 50!!! FYI - Did you know you could be a Pink Hatter before the age of 50? They wear lavender with Pink Hats!<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-32272864908041911062008-02-09T09:53:00.000-08:002008-02-09T09:53:00.000-08:00You had me sitting here wondering what it would fe...You had me sitting here wondering what it would feel like to put on a red hat or dress all in red and purple and go out with gal friends.
