Text of the page (random words):
et me know if you answer the questions i m getting ready to start reading mademoiselle channel and the rest of the answers only confirm that i m indecisive and i like cake and music of almost all sorts and if you don t already know that sweet home alabama is my favorite movie you haven t been paying attention in a great twist of irony wordpress saved this image from round two of my efforts to communicate with you it is important and is a great summary of where i am and how i feel i ve laughed more in the past year than at any point probably post trinity we laughed a lot in college maybe even inappropriately so i m working a lot not getting to work out enough and yet there is so much laughter and love life is sweet which points to another question i recall answering directly i keep old dominion queued up on nearly every playlist i have and i happily sway when i hear the parts manager pull it up on his desktop at the end of his work day what s new with you gretchen doesn t seem to crave a companion she didn t hate having maddie sue here but she didn t get bent up about being alone again either we have a great routine and she s giving me the eye now because i think she realizes i m about to head out without her it s just too hot and we need groceries next question i m pondering a big change in blog content there will always be updates and nonsense and i am grateful for those of you who seem to miss us when we are not managing updates but i have a project in mind i ve tried having two blogs before don t mess with my tutu anyone and i don t know that i can do that or want to try but would you be interested in far more introspective content posted in gretchen sunday sundries 5 comments end of an era posted on may 26 2019 by of pups n pearls one year ago we said good bye the to diva she was larger than life and oddly i d known all along that she burned too bright to live a long life sure 10 years does fall within the average lifespan for a basset hound but she could have lived to be 20 and it wouldn t have been long enough t urns out she was the glue who held our pack together loving her executing her medicinal schedule and enjoying her joie de vivre was the reason our household worked gretchen still cocks her head a little differently when i say any of sissy s nicknames while my heart will forever hurt a bit and my eyes will suddenly get wet when i even think of her caring for her was a privilege and my honor was she my heart dog i don t know that i can say that arguably she loved her dadaw more he was the one she clung to when she suddenly and painfully went blind age 3 primary aggressive glaucoma although she never met a stranger and i am touched that a friend s granddaughter still speaks of sissy after only meeting her a few times at the gym nevertheless she was something special she was laughter love and life and lived up to her registered name princess of joy i may yet write that book about leadership or being an unapologetically strong woman sissy style sissyboo queenie moo diva sisma and more you are missed but you made sure we were all better for loving you gretchen has done remarkably well as an only dog it took a full year but she enjoying hanging with maddie sue last week and if you care to give me a sign or ten as to whether gretchen wants a permanent companion again i d welcome it life goes on ebb and flow change and death are inevitable thanks for showing us all how to live with exuberance and compassion how to roll with the punches and keep on living life to its fullest you were one remarkable gal and despite fresh tears and nearly unending grief i m so very grateful you shared your love and light with us posted in gretchen sissy tagged ggjoyproject sissysees 5 comments all about add ins posted on december 31 2018 by of pups n pearls well gretchen sure is maybe it s the moon but the girl has been ravenous the last few days of 2018 and as always we are grateful for the high quality noms chewy provides also as always the products were provided free of charge but the opinions are our own our last review of 2018 is of instinct raw boost mixer we use it as an enhancer read mixer add in get the girl going and as a treat it s a big hit although the solid gold kibble still requires no added temptations while the other stuff we grabbed to make do while at the beach gets left in her bowl unless the princess really does think starvation is real gretchen is not too choosy when it comes to real food options but she s pretty picky about commercial dog food she does best with limited ingredient all natural products and this booster fits the bill we were both pleased with the two dehydrated products we reviewed this month both are from brands we know and like and bonus points are awarded for the options they provide wet dry as treats or as an add in some sources say dogs don t like variety but mine all have seemed to appreciate a bit of a break from the routine gretchen certainly has favorites the solid gold bag 3 is in the pantry kibble for example but she will also reject a tried and true treat or add in from time to time what is your experience does your pet like a change or the same old same old posted in gretchen product reviews uncategorized tagged chewy chewyinfluencer ggjoyproject ofpupsnpearls 3 comments food love posted on december 18 2018 december 18 2018 by of pups n pearls i joke that gretchen greer s love language is food that dog loves to eat my nana not nannie whom i just blogged about but a very special great aunt cautioned me regularly that we eat to live and should not live to eat i struggle with that too but gg cannot separate one thought from the other and so we are grateful for our kind friends at chewy who send yummy goodness her way as always the opinions we express are our own and while the product we receive is free we are also free to speak our minds in our reviews first up this month is another offering from i and love and you a brand that met sissy s ridiculously high food allergy driven standards and now has found its way into gg s heart too despite her food addiction the girl will refuse ordinary kibble or even canned food she deems too ignoble for her pampered palate while she is still crazy fond of the solid gold kibble we reviewed last month i failed to pack it when we ventured to the beach and baby girl all but refused to eat dog food thankfully her chewy offerings made the trip we ll review the other enhancer soon but i and love and you stir and boom saved the day time and time again it s so pleasing i can use the moistened chunks to pill the picky beastie i even tried feeding it to her dry and it still suits her just fine i ve used it as an add in for the undesirable kibble and she sucks it all down but i ve also used it as a stand alone meal because she is a wee lass and i do try to limit her intake we had the most wonderful time at the beach gretchen continues to thrive and spent plenty of time running free on the beach playing in the sand and chasing the few birds that bothered to come out on what was a wet windy trip she even made the trek to see the local christmas lights house but she was crazy happy to head back to her gym and delighted her friends there with very affectionate enthusiastically brave greetings thanks chewy posted in gretchen obx

instant pot now what no really my first attempt was chili and i wrestled the lid until i was frustrated then called in reinforcements the product was tasty but the yield was less than i d expected as i type attempt number two white beans and ham soup is cooking if it can take dry beans to done in 35 minutes i m hooked even though cook time doesn t start until the pressure builds and almost none of the recipes seem to make that clear what do you make in your pressure cooker posted in food uncategorized tagged instantpot ofpupsnpearls 5 comments legacies posted on november 29 2018 by of pups n pearls legacy is a big word for what carries on after you are gone my grandmother on the right lived humbly and her impact will ripple on into the next century and beyond dot nannie grandma mom and more by any name her influence lives on i remember a conversation during her last stay in my home probably around 2000 she said with awe that she d seen things in her life she never imagined and she couldn t even begin to guess what i d see in mine her father died from a horseback riding accident in a time when horsepower still meant the pounding of hooves on the earth and she saw man walk on the moon while the marvels of science and technology were impressive i say her giver s heart and her life of service touched an infinite number of lives and are just as significant as the more historical events she witnessed in her lifetime she raised four children but she taught a host of others in sunday school and nursed a truly countless number of folks through some of the worst moments of their lives those freckled hands tried to teach me to sew and more successfully passed on a love of books dogs games and puzzles i can still hear her tinkling chuckle of a laugh and her favorite hymns will always play in my mind s ear in her slightly off key not really a soprano but trying voice she really did cherish that old rugged cross and her live it don t preach it theology still inspires me yesterday was the 109th anniversary of her birth i always wanted her birthday to fall on thanksgiving day and next year it will here s to carrying and passing on the walk she walked the world would be a far better place if each of us took care of others the way nannie did what will be your legacy posted in celebrate dates family uncategorized tagged ofpupsnpearls strongwomen 5 comments worth its weight in gold posted on november 17 2018 november 17 2018 by of pups n pearls when you are little spoiled and a senior pup finding a kibble that makes you happy is an olympic event since sweet sissy and her food allergies left us it has been a series of struggles to find kibble gretchen greer will eat without a host of add ins thankfully as a chewy influencer girlfriend can try a bit before we commit financially to something she decides she doesn t love after all the last review was sincere but by the bottom of the bag she had lost interest solid gold on the right other unloved stuff on the left for comparison only she attacked her solid gold with gusto almost before i got the bag open she has eaten it for more than a week with no add in enhancements and we are guessing the pint sized pieces are part of the appeal while i hear all the time that gretchen doesn t look anywhere near ten years old she is i am optimistic she s only mid life but her body is slowing down and her metabolism has too despite her wide open playful bursts and her appreciation for a long hike wog etc chicken and pumpkin are regular parts of my diet so i know she loves the flavors she might be aging and slowing down some but she is still a high energy pup who needs quality ingredients and balanced nutrition add in a color scheme that seems custom made for my pank girl and we have a winner of course we received the product free of charge in exchange for our honest review thanks chewy we ll be back soon with more randomness from our days gretchen greer is perhaps more grounded and content than she has been in a very long time while i d like another dog she seems to be thriving as an only child right now and that makes me so happy too posted in gretchen product reviews uncategorized tagged chewy chewyinfluencer ggjoyproject ofpupsnpearls 2 comments where we are now posted on november 3 2018 by of pups n pearls i don t know where to begin but want to share something i updated the about page here a few minutes ago 2018 is nearing its end by no means has it been a bad year but it has been one of changes and discoveries challenges and opportunities for the long time friends with whom we exchange cards and such please update your address books diva sissy left us in may and the man formerly known as the knight and remy also moved out in july gretchen greer and i still reside in the woods and are doing well she s made a remarkable adjustment and seems happier than ever as an only child she s made new friends and has a wonderful sitter who makes my long days at work less traumatic and when i m not at work baby girl is almost always at my side the gym is her favorite destination and we re all enjoying her progress she will sometimes wander off to chat with a gym pal and has even blessed a few with unsolicited affections i am doing well too yes there are challenges no this isn t where i expected to be at this stage of my life but life is about changes right there are worse things in the world than being in a position to evaluate what you need and want from life and how to get there i have an unbelievable support team i was already surrounded by strong inspiring women and i am humbled by the love and light i ve received once i truly opened up and shared with my friends i can t gloss over the good men friends in my life either they ve cut my grass fixed my car and things at the house brought me chocolate on a tough afternoon given me pep talks and keep me laughing even on the worst days and god bless the two phenomenal friends who happen to be married to two of my co workers who send me food share recipes and brighten my days with photos of their adorable kiddos so who knows the best place to sell a plethora of knitting books and yarn too online i need to declutter and to say i have more than i can ever use is still an understatement i also have spinning supplies i ll never use lularoe running out of my ears etc posted in gretchen
