Someone was awfully sneaky around our house early Friday evening.  John and I were outside on our deck enjoying an adult beverage. When I went in the house to refresh my beverage, I saw a bag hanging on the handle of the front door. I can’t believe the “gift bandit” didn’t get caught!

Tucked inside was this pretty dachshund scarf and colorful wiener dog cup. So, to whom it may concern I say a big thank you. I guess it is pretty obvious I adore dachshunds. To have this scarf and cup as part of my collection makes me smile. I especially love having the cup as my water glass now. Hard not to smile every time I take a sip of water!

As for my joyful pause moment photos this week, oh boy, did I slack on that this past week!  There have been many good things going on, so I guess I will just use the excuse that it was a joyful pause week.  But here are two moments I did capture. I see we now have a theme along with the scarf and cup!

We had a rather cool Sunday last week, so I got out my dachshund slippers. Gidget approved!
