Staples: "Reminder" Submit Easy Rebate for Back to School Backpacks!

I'm such a procrastinator but I do usually submit for rebates right after I buy the item but I didn't on this one.  So I just wanted to remind everyone that you have 60 days after you purchased your backpack to submit for 100% back on a Staples Gift card.  I chose to do this deal since I usually buy all of my printer ink from Staples since they give you $3 rebates for each ink cartridge you bring in up to I think 10 or something like that each month. 

Gardens Alive: Last Day to Use $25 Gift Coupon

Remember this post about Gardens Alive $25 off $25 coupon when you order their catalog?  Well today is the last day to use this coupon or it is at least for me.  I didn't want to pay anything out of pocket so I chose to spend under $15.  I wanted a garlic press but they were out of stock, I guess because I waited so late to use my coupon.  So instead I ordered a dwarf blueberry potted plant.  I'm sure I will kill it since I kill everything but for FREE I won't be so disappointed.

Chex Gluten-Free Giveaway!

Why is gluten free imortant?  Well some people usually avoid eating gluten because of a health issue. Some people notice that they do not feel as well when they eat gluten, and they decide to eat a gluten-free diet so that they feel better.

Wild Times at the Jones House!

Our new puppy was going wild this morning barking.  I usually ignore this but, not wanting to p*** off the neighbors I got up to see what was going on.  Well my daughter goes out and what do we see but a tame rabbit running wild in our neighbor's unfenced backyard.

Here they are Ginger barking wildly and Payton trying to coax the rabbit to her.  I thought fat chance but then.....

Here comes the rabbit up to the fence Ginger (the dog) barking like mad and all.  Silly rabbit.

Then, I wouldn't have believed it myself unless I had seen it with my own eyes the rabbit comes to the fence and goes nose to nose with the dog.  Thank goodness Ginger couldn't get her snout open through the fence.  But, I think she was just as curious as the rabbit.

So what's a Mom to do?  Well as you can see I caught him and brought him inside for my daughter to play with and so my dog would STOP barking.  We found out that he lives down the street and the owner's let him run wild....CRAZY, I know.  I tried taking him home but no one answered so I put him "hopefully" in the right back yard that is unfenced.  But, I did tell my daughter if he comes back that we are taking him to Meme's house so he will be safe and happy.

Callie 1999 ~ 2010

I lost my best friend last Sunday. I think it was the hardest day of my life. I had her for 10 years and loved her more than words can express. I will miss her and still can't believe she is gone. I love you Callie and no one will ever replace you!

I ONLY WANTED YOU

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
