I thought this was a bit difficult…but then decided on Parade as my “Public” theme….after all, how much more public can you get then a Disneyland parade?
Today’s challenge is “Free”. This is our sweet little Hollee…who was given to us free of charge. Lol…funny considering that now we have gone through Parvo and Vaccinations with her….our free dog has cost $600+.
Yeah Free!! Lol
One day while driving to San Diego I saw two profound motorcades. The first was for a local officer that had been killed in the line of duty. He was also in the military and they were on their way to Riverside Arlington National Cementary.
The second was a group of service men/women on their way….to fight for our freedom.
I am honored and humbled to present both photos to you today.
Thought I’d take the theme both literally and figuratively.
You’d think with that much chocolate on her plate…she might get sick? Nope, that is considered one of the best parties ever in her book.
Love, love the photo of them hugging. They had just exchanged Christmas gifts that they picked out for each other 
Makes a mother proud.
Awww…a fresh baby chick emphasis all the great things about Spring. Fresh fruit, Fresh Life, Fresh Flowers and Fresh new adventures!
This was a hard one…I didn’t want to take a picture of the number three as that would be expected. Thought about a picture of the twins when they were three but nah…so here we are my three little mischief makers!
Three Little Mischief Makers
Definitions of foreign:
1) Cats. As much as my girls and I love them…they will always be “foreign” in our home because so many of our family members are extremely allergic. Sad, but true 
2) Snow. In my part of Southern California…every couple of years we may be blessed with a little snowfall but it is generally gone within a day.
3) Boys. With a ratio of 15 women (girls) to four men (boys)….the XY Chromosome is just not dominate in our family. If it wasn’t for the ones married in…we’d be extinct! They are definitely “Foreign” in our family tree. (lol…so foreign…I don’t even have a picture of all of them).
