To Whom it May Concern.

20140824_124608Someone 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!

A Sweet Dachshund Surprise from Santa

Posted by Barbara Techel

I must have been a good girl this year. Guess I had Santa fooled, now didn’t I?  When I arrived home later Saturday morning after spending the night at my friend’s house, there was a package on my front stoop.  I squealed with delight (I wonder if Santa heard?) when I opened it to find these two fun dachshund items inside.  Aren’t they just darling? How on earth did Santa know I ADORE dachshund’s?  He is so very smart.  Though interestingly enough his handwriting looked an awful lot like my sister’s.  And for those of you wondering where these came from because you are chomping at the bit to get a scarf and coffee mug of your own, well, Santa shops at Kohl’s Department Store.
