Happy Monday Everyone!
I can’t believe how quickly the time is flying by. It is the beginning of another week! Everyone is so busy getting ready for the holidays and all of the upcoming festivities that this time of the year brings.
On this day, though, I’d like to take a moment and wish MY JOHN and DOTTIE…Happy Anniversary #8! At one o’clock in the afternoon on December 19, 2003…they were married! As Dottie was commenting to MY JOHN this morning…and “WHAT A FABULOUS 8 YEARS IT HAS BEEN! WE ARE SO, SO FORTUNATE AND BLESSED!”
Needless to say, I agree! I have been around for most of this time…and enjoying every moment with them. Since they both spend a great deal of time doing HORSE ACTIVITIES and at BARN 55…it is as though WE ARE ALL ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY!
The “adorable SOPHIE SHIRREFFS” asked that I extend her special greetings to them on this day as well.
Cheers and Blessings to all!
I must say, this is such a FUN way to begin a holiday week of celebration…wishing MY JOHN and DOTTIE all the best on their special day!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DOTTIE & JOHN
What a wonderful, truly marvelous couple you are and I wish you many, many more years of happiness and good fortune together.
Sophie is absolutely the cutest (and I must say “best dressed”)little person (I do believe dogs are people too)I have ever seen.
This 400th post is really special Zenny and a great way to begin the holiday season.
You and all your “Z” family make this world a better place for sure.
Hugs & nose kisses to you and Tasty.

Congratulations John and Dottie and Sophie! Although I have read every one of the diary entries this is my first response since it is such a significant occasion. And to John I can only repeat what the zen master taught me – “cancel, cancel”.

Happy Anniversary to John and Dottie! It is just TOO CUTE that they were married the same year YOU were born. It was quite a wonderful year for beginnings! One of my cats was born that year as well :)
My parents were married on December 20 and were able to celebrate their 50th anniversary (and several more) before my father passed away in 1999.
