Ohhh, North Carolina... this is horrible. I'm praying for everyone affected by this horrible storm. We were just in North Carolina in May and saw that some of the places we visited were wiped out. Asheville is gone.

Okay, since it's rumored to be National Daughter's Day, we took pictures of two of my three and two grand-dog daughters.

Kati pie, with Jolene and Rah-Rah (Savannah's dog). Kati and her dog, my other granddog, Bunny.

Also sharing a photo of Savannah Jane.

It's impossible to love anyone more than your children. I love being their mamma.

It's been a while since I showcased one of my recent clients - so I'll share a website I finished up last month from Lake Huron, Canada.

Paul has a property management company, Renthuron.com https://renthuron.com/with more than 40 properties across the Lake Huron area. He has been serving that area with his amazing property management services to owners for 20+ years. Recently he decided to re-do his website and I was recommended. (by a couple of people).

If you are looking for a beautiful home (many of them dog friendly) on one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in the U.S. or Canada, look no further than https://renthuron.com/

Lake Huron is one of the five Great Lakes of North America and is renowned for its breathtaking beauty, crystal-clear waters, and diverse marine life.

I love partnering with amazing hosts across the U.S. and Canada, learning about new areas and most of all, knowing that what I am doing will help them increase direct bookings, grow their portfolio and give even more people a great vacation.

Book one of our beautifully appointed cottages and vacation homes with unmatched hospitality on majestic lake huron. Waterfront, water views, pet friendly options

I worked at Pizza Hut in my hometown when I was a teenager. I was part of the OG crew. Waitresses wore skirt, pantyhose, and little red checked shirts with bow ties. It was a restaurant. A nice place for families to eat dinner together. With plates. And lamps at the table. I would love to go back to a “real” Pizza Hut.

The Plano-based chain has opened at least nine “Pizza Hut Classic” locations in small Texas towns such as Gonzales and Bastrop.
