Stay tuned next week, for I have a wonderful story to tell you about Louie!
A few facts about Louie and our house....
1. Louie is a chocolate lab that lives down the road from my burned house, on a farm
2. Louie loves kids, and his owners' children are all grown
3. I have a big heart for animals
4. My old house had a crawl space that had an opening in the back of the house, and also had an opening in my laundry room(my laundry room was 2 steps down, making it slightly lower than the main floor in my ranch home)
5. Louie's owners don't let him roam the neighborhood, and search for him when he wanders off.
Check back next week for all the details! And have a wonderful weekend!
Christian living and homemaking, along with a few tutorials.

Sweet, Innocent Mistakes
Did you all know that once upon a time, I was a waitress? Actually, waitressing has been one of my main types of employment during my adult years.
Locally, we have a nice family restaurant, Sam's, owned by Tom. Tom was a great boss, and it's always nice to see him when he visits us at church, or I run into him in town, or see him at his restaurant.
I'm reminded of a time when I worked at Sam's, and I made a very sweet, innocent, INNOCENT, I'm telling you, mistake!!!
During the time I worked at Sam's, Tom was engaged to my husband's cousin. Tom is one of the best bosses I have ever had, always so pleasant, and just a good man all around.
BUT!!!
No matter how BLONd you are, or how good of a boss you have, there are just certain things that should NEVER be said to your employer!!!
One day while I was working, Tom had eaten a meal while he was there. Every good waitress does her best to keep a table clear of dirty dishes, and other things that just clutter up the booth that her customers are sitting in.
I was walking around the restaurant, doing little things that needed done, and I stopped by Tom's booth to clear the condiments he was finished with.
As he was looking down at his paperwork, what I said was, "Are you finished with this honey?"
What it sounded like was, "Are you finished with this, Honey?"
Tom's utterly surprised look turned up toward me as I realized what it had sounded like I said! I quickly tried to re-word my sentence, as I turned 14 shades of red!!!
Thankfully Daniel realizes my Blon roots will always be there, and Jean still married Tom, and didn't worry that I was trying to come between them! I just hope Tom doesn't think of me every time he puts honey on his food....
"Hey, this reminds me of the time when Josanne asked me....."
