Melton Memories

We are so excited for tomorrow!!! What is tomorrow you ask? Well, tomorrow our good friends Jen & Brad are getting MARRIED!!!! Woo Hoo!!! (their location just so happens to be were Wayne and I had our wedding reception) Wayne has known Brad since they were young working at the Princess together then found himself working with Brad again as partners in the fire department (guess they were just meant to be LOL) I met Jen about a year or so ago and we became fast friends! You can often find us making goodies for the guys at the station, shopping or going and getting pedicures! We just wanted to give this shout out to you both, Congratulations we love you and we'll see ya tomorrow for the wonderful festivities!!! YAY!!!!

If you know me at all you know that I have a great love for animals! Many of you may be aware that I raised my dog Neon to be a service dog ( Guide Dogs for the Blind) however he did not end up staying in the program due to medical reasons. As much as he was happy to do the things asked of him, he was much more happy to stay with me... We have a wonderful bond and he is "my baby". Upon seeing this video it made me think a lot about Neon... as much as he knew all the commands etc... I just always felt like we were pushing him into something that he didn't fully love. Watch the video that is attached to this link and it may give you a little inside into Neon & my world... Be aware that you may need a kleenex as it is a tear jerker in a happy way (but then again maybe it just is for me because it makes me think of my baby) If you have ever held an interest in training a service animal I would like to say "Go for it"!!! It is very rewarding to see how thes...

I have always loved animals and have always pictured myself having LOTS of them! Growing up we had more animals than anyone I knew. We had an Avery with about 40 birds, 5 turtles, numerous dogs, a duck a cat and at one point we had 48 hamsters! My mom may have been going crazy but I loved them all!!!! This past week we were dog sitting and had 4 dogs in the house along with our 2 cats. My first thought was oh gosh this is going to be a week of chaos but surprisingly all the animals were great and got along very well! I say this as I am sitting here listening to Hemi (our littlest cat) flying around the house throwing himself into the blinds with Chloe running after him (hope wood can't break glass! lol) Anyway... Chula, the black Australian Shepard, and Honey the little cockapoo did great in our household! Honey has now returned home but we still have ChooChoo as Wayne likes to call her until the end of next week. All this to say... Whenever I bring up getting another animal Wayne ...

Some times it is the little things that crack me up the most. This weekend I spend some time with my friend Ann riding horses. We had a really good time! We went out to the state land by her house and rode for a while then came home and bathed & clipped the horses. The photo below is Parker. He was such a good boy during his bath time, he was letting me make him look silly for my own amusement. So of course I couldn't help but post it because it made me think of Alphalfa from the Little Rascals or a Unicorn you can decide which you like better. Enjoy.

I received this in an email and thought it was very good so wanted to pass it along to all. Really gives you something to think about. :) You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I've ever heard this twist on the story. Gives you something to think about. Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. My friend, Arlene, was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her house. The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants.. Arlene knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely. As the three ...

Who knew that soccer could be so much fun?! I went over to my good friend Ann's house on Saturday to ride one of her horses July... (she tells me you have to say his name like this... Juuuly ) So when I arrived she had a treat for me, teaching me to play horse soccer! It was so much fun!! Here is a little clip me learning to play. I was so fascinated with how much the horse loved doing this!! We played for about 1 1/2 hours! :)

I've been tagged by the lovely Heather A. with the Honest Scrap Award and am supposed to share 10 random, honest things about myself. So here goes.... When I was little I used to eat all the filling out of the Oreos in my grandpa's secret cabinet then put the cookie back together, back in the bag and back in the cabinet for him to eat! This is really gross but I guess I am supposed to be honest so I will share that I used to turn my eyelids inside out cuz I thought it was funny.... I know you will never LOOK at me the same again! lol I actually really like Lima beans. I have that same one as Heather in that I love to read... I can sit in the same chair all day and read a good book! I love trucks!! My dream vehicle is a lifted Quad-cab Ford F-250 in black, guess I better get on that one before I have kids. :) I actually like it when people do my makeup, you know like when you go to a department store and they do your makeup for you in order to get you to buy something. It ...
