Are you ready for cuteness overload? You have probably seen plenty of photos of Miss Tizzy with her favorite Abominable toy. When we saw this one that had the long crinkle-sounding arms just like Abominable, and as big as Miss Tizzy too, just like Abominable, we knew she would love it.

Awww, she is hugging Frog Prince! She loves him.

Oh so true we were that she was in love! She knew it was hers the moment she laid eyes on it right out of the bag. I gave it to her and she immediately pulled it clear into the other room and over to her bed right next to Abominable. She claimed it as her own so quickly Ria didn’t stand a chance.

Miss Tizzy is cuddled in tight.

I named her new toy “Frog Prince” because my posh Miss Tizzy princess needs her very own royalty to love.

This is the classic straight-on look. Miss Tizzy knows what to do for the camera.

Here are 17 photos from today’s photo shoot. They are all unique and make me smile.

This one screams the oohs-and-ahhs. Miss Tizzy even does this to me. We call it “hugs” when she puts her forehead against my forehead. She has been doing this with me her entire life, so for me it is extremely adorable when she does it with her Frog Prince.

This is the serious photo. Miss Tizzy’s eyes are telling me how serious she is about this love.

I wanted to throw these out here, all of them to share the joy. Which one is your favorite?

I went in for the close-up on this photo shoot. Have I told you enough that Miss Tizzy is “the cutest dog on erf”?

This is her “what you talk’n about Willis?” look. If you do not know what that phrase means, you are too young!

“Oh hooman, listen up: I’m not a crinkly toy, but my new best friend is! Frog prince grips me ever so gentle and I like that.”

“Listen up, hooman, this is my Frog prince. You cannot have him. Don’t even try!”

”You know you want some of these cuddles, don’t you? Sorry, they are all mine!”

This side view may be my favorite. I love how Miss Tizzy is showing her sweetness with her head down ready to cuddle in. I like the full length few of Frog Prince showing his size in comparison to Miss Tizzy.

I wanted a long time, even going to the basement for a while to clean, until Miss Tizzy decided to lay down. Now it as if she is saying, “I got you Frog Prince, I am not letting you go ever!”

“Aha! You’ve been snuggled, smooshed, and officially claimed! You are my couch cushion covered in dog hair. You’re mine now, forever and ever. There are no take-backs, no wiggle-outs, and no escaping my grip!

In this photo it is as if they are both holding onto each other with the gentlest tightness, if there is such a thing. It’s soft, it’s secure, and it’s 100% escape-proof! This mutual hug is made of marshmallows and loyalty.

“You’re stuck with me, snuggle buddy!”

On September 27, 2025, we decided to drive the 20 minutes for an overnight camp at Horseshoe Lake. We were surprised by this awesome show of grackles in the masses! They went on with their performance a good 30 minutes or more. The video does not do the experience justice. The fog was kind of cool too.

I am reminded that if we do not get out and just go, we will never know what surprises we miss.

Yes, I love being at home, but I also love getting outdoors. When away from home, the to-do’s are not in your face begging to be done.

I spent some time writing. Sometimes we talk together about what we see or hear or feel, and then we get quiet while I write it up, and then I read it to him. It is a peaceful activity. I am getting quite a few in my journal that I hope to share some day if I could ever find time. We also took a short walk along the campground and drove to check out the other campground for another quick overnight some day.

Oh, what have I done! lol I do these things to myself. That’s me in the image above!

Several weeks ago I caved into an urge that I have had for a long time now. If after all these years it is still bugging me, then it must be meant to be done. The thing is, I tend to do these tasks impromptu at a whim, and there is no good timing for a whim that takes a lot of time! Other things end up being pushed aside.

How do I explain this? I tried explaining it to a non-techy friend, but I do not think she ever understood.

Websites are in folders on a computer and uploaded in those same folders. The more embedded a folder (folder, inside folder, inside folder) the less likely the search engines will index it with priority, or index it at all.

When I first moved over my other website to combine website, I left the folder structure, but some of the parts were really embedded. The structure also just did not make sense. Many sections were embedded under the tutorials folder and they were not tutorials.

So I snapped and reorganized the folders. But the thing is that now all the URLS aka web addresses are different! That means the search engines links are no good and no one can search to find my pages. Ack!

That also means I just zapped all of my page ranking! That’s a website optimization term that means when someone searches something, your website page shows at the top if it has a high page ranking. I lost it all! That is why I did not want to do this project, but it is what it is, and is now done.

I have to take time now to build the indexes yet. If pages are not linked to the second embedded page in some way, they do not get indexed by search engines. Along the way, I have failed in create the indexes. It is now my task and I will share my progress.

Here below are the ones that were moved.

I had all of the Christian pages under one index, but now each is their own.

Bible Journaling - This is my favorite and contains artwork with Bible study notes.

Bible Bits - These are all written by me and some have art included

Chrismons - This shows each Chrismon and what each means. (I have finished this index, yeah me!)

Pages of Stuff to Share (Messages) - These are written by other people and a collection from many years ago on my first website. I do not think I ever transferred over all of them to this website. This index will take me a long time to build. I may do it last.

Here are the other sections moved out.

Crafts I started here working on this index, and it has taken me a few weeks, but I have finished this index! On top of the index, many of the pages still had <br> coding from when they were copied over from the blog, and that code that works like a return on a typewriter is not used much anymore. I had to open ever page and fix the <br> and <div> coding manually. What a lot of tedious work! What a headache! I will have a lot of other pages when doing the other sections to fix as well.

My writings I think I am going to work on this one next because I have some writings I want to share that I wrote this year, but I need a place to put them.

Technical I have not added to this much in recent years. People used to love when I shared new techy things.

Recipes I began creating this section of the website more for me than you! Some day I will add to it more.

Fun Stuff I used to share fun stuff I found on the internet a lot and the collection is here. I do not do this as much as I used to and I’m not sure it will grow anymore.

Other sections have remained as is, including the digital scrapbooking tutorials and classes (and there are many!), the travel and map, the birds, and the flower journal.

Change all the page addresses also meant all of my Pinterest pins were no longer good. Sigh. Does anyone use Pinterest anymore? Comment to let me know. I had to delete all of mine and I put a few of the more popular ones back up, but I am not sure I want to add them all back again. I am not sure I even need to link it at the bottom of each website page anymore either.

Until next time—may your Frog Prince debug your code, your Grackle Show stay on script, and your Tizzy Princess never lose her Wi-Fi in the woods,
