Max is here....

.....for a long weekend! He was brought yesterday while i was still at the mainland with Grace. Been for a shopping spree for her as School begins for her after next week while Chris starts coming Monday already.

These pictures were taken this morning during our walk at the dyke. Max's really needed a hair cut but the owner seems not to notice it. DH called a barber yesterday so he could bring it himself but they are full for these coming weeks.



The last weeks at work was giving me an unhappy feeling, as it was quite busy. Sometimes i do feel pain above my breast and under my stomach. Plus the way people(costumers) were treated wasn't pleasant at all. I rather not go into details here as i don't know if people reading my blog here on the island. I've work here for nearly seven years and do like it but it is changing so i decided to QUIT!!!
I went in last wednesday and gave in or rather told them i will stop but since they can't get anyone at this time i have to work until the end of September. DH wasn't happy about it as he wanted me stop immediately!


Received my copy of this magazine this month and i am in love with the sampler of Joan Elliott. This sure go into my list to stitch. I am working on one of the 'Pure Indulgence' and hope to show a picture soon.

Thanks so much everyone for stopping by and all the nice comments. I really appreciate them all.

I didn't know that your job was so stressful - I'm glad you'll be able to stop, although I'm sorry you have to wait so long.

Greetings to Max! :D

Enjoy your time with Max and hope your work stress eases during your final time there. Job stress is awful to endure and is what finally pushed me into full disability. I'm so happy I'm away from it all now.

Max looks as though he is enjoying his weekend with you - he even has a smile on his face.

Love the Home is where the Heart is pattern and will look forward to seeing that soon.

Can your firm make you stay another 6 or 7 weeks? That seems very unfair and what if they do not get someone for then? I hope things work out for you Mylene.

Hi Mylene,
I miss you! Every time I see Max I think of my Fred [my BMD] that I had years ago. They are such loving dogs. I hope your life gets stress free soon, a job can sure drag you down.
On the bright side, I Wish I had your hair. Beautiful! I'd love to have your figure too.. LOL Love Sandy P.

Sorry to hear you are unhappy at work. Some employers just don't appreciate their staff. I am sure you will find something else soon and if not just enjoy some time off!

Mylene -

You need to do what is best for youself and not feel guilty about doing it. Enjoy the time with Max, I always love looking at your photos. I really miss living in Europe, perhaps we will go back some day.
