Monday - Tails and Tales
Now Disco would like to add his two cents.
I went to the beach too!
Sleeping in my mommy's arms.
Love, Disco
Here's the Laugh - A dog and A Peacock.

What a great weekend for everybody! Louis Dean's son is a big shot in Karate. My son is a third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I think the martial arts are such great discipline training for our young people. He deserves congratulating! No every boy will devote the time, energy and attention to learning as he has done. This will hold him in good stead all his life!!
Sounds like you all had a busy but great weekend... We went hiking at Fall Creek Falls yesterday --and had a picnic in the car. Then we ate dinner at their lodge restaurant... Delicious--especially the 'nanner' puddin'.... ha
Hilarious Sandie, Never seen a peacock trying to peck the dog and the dog trying to get at him.. great shots. I dont think I mentioned, that I like your header.. i love your choice of that blue..its beautiful. Well done to your grandson. He has done well. poor Disco.. but he looks as though he was very happy lying in your arms.. happy monday . val xx thank you for your comments Sandie.
This is a big honor for your grandson, how old will his students be? I only have one question about the picnic...did you have to make all the food? The dog and peacock, what a kick I got! The little pug is all bark and no action! Oops, sorry Disco, but I KNOW that you would tear this bird to shreds then bring them to your boy!!
Thank you for sharing that little trip to the beach. I sure could use one! Glad your grandson is doing so well and enjoying it too. Hope your Monday is going well there. We have sunshine here!!!
I am so proud of your GS!! Gosh he is growing up isn't he. The beach looks like fun even if it was chilly! Hope you have a good week and ya'll let Disco rest ok?? hugs, Linda
Hi Sandie... Loved how you put the lettering of your post in the little boxes. Clever girl!
Congratulations to GS. He is SO cool. Imagine getting a second black belt! Good for him.
The dog and the peacock video was hilarious. Guess some people said it was done with camera editing? So it didn't really happen that way? In any event, I thought it was fun to watch. Susan
Neat entry, I love the post-it layout. I am even proud of your grandson. That is wonderful. LOts of good stuff 'mental' and physical in the martial arts. Thanks for a good read.
Congrats to your cute grandson. I know how proud we grandmothers are when our grands accomplish something special. Good for him! I love the beach but I haven't been there yet. It still is a little cool. It looks like your grandson was enjoying it. Hugs, Lura
Hi Sandie! Congrats to Andy!! That's such an honor. Sounds like a great weekend! We were busy, too, but not having as much fun. We did yard work and there is still much to do. I think we need a smaller yard! I also have lots to do inside, so I'm slow at blogging lately. It's spring! Have a great week!
I know how proud you must be!!! Good for your grandson! I wish Kyle had stayed with it. Disco looks exhausted and adorable. :) Your weekend sounds like a lot of fun! Olive Garden is sooo good!
Your GS is doing so well with his Martial Arts. It is such a wonderful place to develop and hone self-discipline and confidence. Disco looks pooped for sure!! LOL! blessings ~ tanna
My grandsons are just starting out. I hope they can work their way up..it takes a lot of dedication and practice to receive the degree your grandson has...I am sure he is very proud. the video was cute...good video skills. :)
Oh I am feeling like the guy in that first picture lol exhausted. I love the sticky notes you've put in between the pics, very cool and easy to read. Yeyyy on your GS he seems to do a good job there. Enjoy your day my friend. Hugs

Still a little too chilly for me to go to the beach, but I am counting the days :)
Congrats to your grandson! And it looks like he's having fun with it, too. Now don't be overworking poor little Disco- a pup needs his rest!

Wondering how close to the beach you live. Good for your grandson and Disco looks like he deserves some praise too.
Happy Monday to you!! Wow... 6 years in martial arts is a long time.
Great sticky note report on your grandson's success and Disco's exhaustion. Loved the peacock and the pup video. Laughed out loud.
So proud of your grandson!

That is awesome that he will be going for his second black belt! Sounds like a fun time. Debby
It IS an exciting life. Enjoy every minute! :-)
What beach did you go to? Is it at Lake Alatoona? My son lives in Kennesaw now, he might not know how close he is to a nice beach!
Sounds like you (and Disco) had a great weekend:@)
Sounds like a perfect weekend, Sandie!!!!!.....:)JP

Hi Sandie! Congrats to Andy!! That's such an honor. Sounds like a great weekend! We were busy, too, but not having as much fun. We did yard work and there is still much to do. I think we need a smaller yard! I also have lots to do inside, so I'm slow at blogging lately. It's spring!
Have a great week!
How nice for Andy...he's doing great...but, but, I'm jealous...a beach picnic and barefoot? Fabulous! Disco is doing my favorite thing.
Blessings
Sounds like a wonderful weekend, in every way! You must be so proud of GS - I know I am!!
And Disco - that's a precious picture. There are few things I love more than having a pooped pup in my lap!
XO
I know how proud you must be!!! Good for your grandson! I wish Kyle had stayed with it.
Disco looks exhausted and adorable. :) Your weekend sounds like a lot of fun! Olive Garden is sooo good!
Looks like the fun kind of busy weekend.
Congrats to your grandson!
Why am I too dumb to know where there is a beach in your area? I am going to ask the husband where it is.
It has been so chilly the past few days that I can't even think beach. I just think sweater.
I'm really proud of your grandson!!
I'm such a huge fan of martial arts and the discipline it teaches.
Your GS is doing so well with his Martial Arts. It is such a wonderful place to develop and hone self-discipline and confidence. Disco looks pooped for sure!! LOL! blessings ~ tanna
Great job to your Grandson:) Looks like tons of fun:) Love the sticky notes! Have a blessed week!

Congratulations to your grandson! That's quite an honor for him! Loved the video! Thanks (again) for the chuckles!!
