Wordless Wednesday - NOT TODAY

these Iris[es] are at least 100 years old.   Now how is that possible you ask....well, these bulbs have been in my mommy's family since around the year 1900.   That's right, they belonged to my mommy's  GREAT grandmother  and have been split, dug up, moved and hauled around to wherever my mommy has lived -  Her great grandmother gave them to her grandmother to plant in her 1st house back in 1914 -  then her grandmother gave them to her mother in 1942 to plant in her yard,  then her mother gave them to her in 1973 to plant in her yard....and my mommy has carried them with her from Memphis to Chicago to Raleigh NC, to Dallas TX, to Atlanta Ga,  to McComb MS and now to Oak Ridge TN   -   isn't that neat????

CHECK THIS OUT....a package from Mason Dixie - WOW!  I never had a package before!

Mason sent this because I had been feeling poorly -  but I feel fine now -  ESPECIALLY with the new things Mason Dixie sent

that's a pretty fancy envelope that Mason Dixie Found

this one is my favorite

hmmmmmm.....these look interesting

this one makes crunchy noises

I don't know which one to choose

Now I just can't decide which one to play with!!!!!!!

THANKS Mason Dixie  - you are one terrific friend!

Five reasons how/why my life is GRAND

1. 
   Life is grand because my pawparents love me no matter what I do or don't do
2. 
   Life is grand because I do NOT have a liver shunt and I did NOT have to have surgery - I'm in full recovery and feeling GRAND
3. Life is grand because my pawrents take me everywhere they go, even to restaurants where they eat on the patio even if it's cold just so I can be with them - AND, they sneak me into hotels if they aren't pet friendly!!!!
4. I have lots of toys and treats and a bed in every room just in case I tire out along the way
5. My mom will cook really good food for me like free range chicken, new potatoes, organic baby carrots and organic green beans and toss them in a dill sauce - especially if I hold out long enough from eating my doggie food
