In Loving Memory of Yankee Doodle Dandy

This picture from 2005 is typical of the happy healthy Yankee we should remember.

Miner's Yankee Doodle Dandy 1992-2007

Today I am sad. I have lost a furry family member. A beautiful female black lab, Yankee. She was a wonderful loving creature, who shared alot with me over more than 15 yrs. She was strong willed and battled a neurological issue which effected her mobility for 14 months. In just the past month she had visited with her canine cousins (Snake & Molly) from Slidell, and her doggie friends (Ginny & Maddie, Salem & Bandit) here in Hartsville. I'm sure now she's playing with Dino (Grandpa Lasley's Husky), Francy (Mary's bordercollie), Buddy (Neighbor dog) and Shadow (David's cat), plus chasing rabbits and running like she could no longer could do here. She will be missed very very much. I guess I just had her on loan anyway, and it was time to send her back to heaven who saw fit to allow me to borrow her for as long as I was permitted. She was a blessing.

I think about all the Christmas presents she loved to unwrap, the balloon games, learning the radio fence, the fido shocker, the landscaping fabric she "played" with, and the termites she found in Grandma Lasley's front foyer floor. Lots of good time, good travels, friendly faces and food. She always loved food...dog food, people food, treats and cookies. I know exactly where that missing fresh baked loaf of raisin bread went, even though I never found a crumb. She shared her life with many other furry friends like Shadow, Angel, Buster, Sammy, Cesar, and several foster pets. She was always happy to greet everyone and never disliked anyone. She knew many human friends and family, charming them all in her own special way. Born at Eglin AFB in Florida, she also lived in Ohio, Kentucky, and South Carolina, and visited Michigan.

Thanks to everyone who had a role in her life. Leon, for caring for her in the end, peanutbutter toast each morning, and being there yesterday; David & Peggy for caring for her her at other times; Bob M, for bringing her into my life; Craig for bringing her Sammy & frisbee in the pool; Shawn, for giving her cool kids to play with; Bob K, for giving us both a place to stay together when we needed; Mom & Dad for making her their first Grand-dog; Melody, Jet, Brett, Charlie, Scott, Roger & Fred for being amazing Yankee sitters over the last few years; other family members who welcomed my furry 4 footed child into their homes, and lastly to the Drs at Anderson who helped her stay healthy and happy as long as she could, and made the way home peaceful when it was time.

We miss you pretty girl, Yankee.

In Loving Memory of Yankee

Christmas was always a fun time for Yankee, especially the unwrapping of gifts.

2007 Deals Gap trip planned for Aug 25-26

Well, we (Leon and I) are going to the Dragon again this year. It's the 2 year anniversary of when Leon and I met for the first time. I can't wait to take some pictures there. Last year a guy wrecked his sport bike right in front of me. Thank goodness he was ok.
We have a house rented again this year. It should be fun for all. I'll post up after we get back with some hi-lites.

As you all are likely aware, Leon proposed and I said yes. It will be a small private family ceremony, likely beachside and barefoot.

I have listed my house in Hartsville, SC for sale. I've shown it alot, but no offers yet. If it sells, we'll move forward with our early retirement plan. If not, we'll list again next summer. We sure got alot of things fixed getting ready to list. It looks very good right now, if I do say so myself.

I got an "interest feeler" email from classmates at Hamilton High about our 20 year reunion next summer. I can't believe it's been 20 yrs. I'd like to head north next summer for a reunion, so long at it's not too expensive, and sounds like a fun, casual event (versus a dog and pony show). With gas prices what they are, travel costs will be a factor in the decision to go. But I'm open to the possibility.

OK, well enough for now. I need to go list some things on Ebay. I list under UCmba97 and Leon lists under Intruder98 Check out our auctions sometime.

TTFN,
Ang & Leon (Yankee & Dogmo too)

Let's Cruise

Hey Ya'll,
Leon and I have booked our vacation this year, a Princess cruise. We have cruised before, and think it would be fun to have some friends and or family along. If anyone wants to go on the same cruise, the more the merrier. Here's the details. Princess lines, Nov 24th thru Dec 1st, Departs from Ft. Lauderdale, going to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Mexico and the Bahamas. Interior rooms are very reasonably priced, but we opted for a balcony (veranda) room. We booked thru USAA travel, but you can book with any travel agent, direct thru Princess, or via online places like travelocity. Let me know if you need any help booking. We chose the early dinner seating time.
So let's cruise!! I'm so looking forward to a week relaxing, enjoying drinks with little umbrellas in them!!
Hope to see you there.
Ang & Leon

Again, I've been distracted with life from the blog

Well I know it's been a while since I posted any pictures. Dogmo and I have been taking many, but since bloggerbot went away, I've found it take alot longer to post photos. No excuse though. I need to post up.
So in the comming days I'll upload a few from the following events:

• My brother Joey's wedding
• Carolina Riders Saddle Sore 1000 in SC
• Lakeview club summer pool party
• MR2 club gatherings
• other Carolina Riders rides too many to mention

I hope you all can forgive me. I did survive Tax Season again this year, which is a wonderful thing. I've been told it's just long enough between when one tax season ends and the next one begins, that you forget how exhausting that time of year is, or else you'd quit come January 1st each year.

More to come.......

Leon's New Dream!
