Granddog Sitting

Hi everyone! I have been granddog sitting for the past week and let me tell you...it has been a chore!  My youngest son is at a church technology conference and asked if we would watch his puppy.  Sadie is a 9 month old Siberian Husky.  I forgot how active 9 month old dogs could be!  Our two labs run our property, but Ms Sadie is not accustomed to wide open spaces and dense woods.  This morning she high tailed it to a neighbor and proceeded to torment their miniature horse named Sugar.  Bless Sugar's heart. She was trying to be neighborly, but from what I was told, Sadie was about to get kicked.  I bet Sadie wouldn't head back that way again!  Anyway, all thoughts of finishing my next blog post went out the door and I have been enjoying playing with this pretty girl for the past week.  I must say that even though she looks quite innocent, she has eaten a pair of tennis shoes, knocked over my pumpkin topiares, torn up a pillow, pulled the buttons off an outdoor cushion and committed several unmentionable acts on the garage floor!  I purchased her an adorable red plaid head band which she promptly tried to eat.  When that effort failed, she attempted to drown it in the creek.  Sadie came back soaking wet with her head band around her neck, looking at me with those gorgeous, blue eyes! So friends, I'll be back next week with my normal blog posting.  Until then, I have a dog to chase!

Blessings from Lynda and Sadie at Still Woods Farmhouse

    Awwww...Sadie looks so innocent and sweet! I can identify, I often dogsit my granddog Tulo, a hulking 100+ pound English Cream Retriever. My house is small and he can knock everything off my coffee table with his swooshy tail! But we love him.

    I had a male Siberian Husky when I was in my early twenties, blue eyes just like Sadie. I rescued him at 2 years old. For the life of me I had no idea why anyone would give him up. Very sweet and well behaved...he did have a penchant for running away when we had snow but never went far. Sadly I had to move to another place that wouldn't allow dogs. I was lucky to find a family who loved him at first sight and he had acres to run on. A real blessing. I'll never forget Niki and will treasure the few years I had with him. Enjoy Sadie, she's a beauty! :)

      Hi Jane,
      Sadie is adorable, but full of energy! Tulo sounds like a hunk! We had a beautful chow-husky mix dog named Prancer (Santa brought her to the boys) and she was about 120! A friend saw her for the first time through a window and thought she was a calf! We loved that dog dearly and still do even though she has been gone many years. We might need a few of your Siberian Husky tricks you used with your rescue, Niki. Have a great week!

      We enjoyed having Sadie here and I am kind of sad not seeing her around since she left! Loved those pretty blue eyes. Have a wonderful weekend!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all  loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware.  I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl.  My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate.  I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida.  I came to love her one plate.  My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table!  When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs.  I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces, I found out that Memory Lane is consi

Quarantine Reno: The Butler's Pantry/Laundry Room

Good morning everyone! I wanted to share with you a major renovation which Mr. Still Woods and I accomplished during the quarantine. I have been feeling a huge push to simplify not only my life, but our home as well.  I started with reorganizing room by room and donating items we no longer use. After that was accomplished, I began thinking. My husband says that my thinking is always dangerous and usually means a lot of work for him! So let me tell you how this all started.  I have a large pantry in the kitchen with pull out drawers and deep shelves. While it holds tons of pantry items, I was always complaining because items tend to meander to the back of the shelves. When you need a flashlight to see what's in your pantry, you know its too large.  So I decided that I wanted to relocate our pantry into a free standing, shallow unit.  We sat down and drew up a plan we were both happy with.  As with most plans, our plan got altered along the way.  What was to have been a complete new

Keeping Christmas in My Heart

Unlike Ebenezer Scrooge, I love everything about Christmas! The baking, the sappy-sweet Christmas movies, the twinkling lights, the glittering tree, packages wrapped with love and care, our Christmas Village, red bows, and especially the nativity. It's all so beautiful! I find it a special treasure to sit with a warm cup of coffee, in the early morning hours before the house has awakened, and just soak it all in as I sip my coffee. It also gives me time to do some mental planning...what do I plan to do different next year... what were my favorite moments of this season... what do I want to purchase during the online after Christmas sales... what new recipe do I want to try next year? But I mostly sit and daydream while enjoying the wonder in all that is Christmas. We typically leave most of our Christmas up until Three Kings Day. We are blessed to have our boys home until after New Years and the temptation is strong to use their muscles to help us haul all our Christmas boxes to th
