Roostie's Reflections.....

Hi everyone, it's me again Roostifer Jane the bundle of pure whiteness, love and dog diva. It's a wild and crazy world. I think I forgot to tell you, but Mom splurged and bought me a Mercedes-Benz . It's pink and has paw prints on the side, everyone points and says" is that a dog in that buggy"?. We ran into a couple of her girlfriends tonight and I was just walking around and from underneaths my tail was a psssfttt..sound, I just looked around and kept on skipping and they were rolling on the ground laughing as hard as I've ever seen. As Jill McCloud says" the whistle before the train. Jill's full of one liners, she makes Mom and Grandma in the garden laugh. Why just today me and Mom were reflecting back on Lolo's day's in the mission field. We were watching the video's she sent home. There was the one about.."Jump aerobics", and the "Transfer dance" by the Elders. Painting the Elders toenails on P-day, dancing with the members of Rochester.. ah ... it was glorious, then out of the blue I felt something wet on my pure white fur, what the....? then another drop... I looked up at Mom with my perfectly dark round eyes and saw she was tearing up. I think she really misses Lolo. Last week was a toughie, July 18 was the last day of the Palmyra Pageant, and Mom was really sick and had to go to the emergency room. Poor Mom, sitting there with all sorts of strange and unusual people ( she actually fit in quite well- she forgot her tooth, poor Mom.. what are we gonna do with mom... love her..just love her..that's all we can do) on Lolo's last Pageant day, when she really wanted to write a heart-felt letter to her one and only daughter serving the Lord . Lolo had a great story about a " last minute miracle", Me and Mom read and re-read her letters of how the Lord works and brings light into the lives of investigators. What a Onederful( Hinks) blessing we have with the gospel of Jesus Christ guiding our lives. I think I have every song from "Called to Serve" CD totally memorized. Did you know Mom plays it 24/7 and hasn't stopped playing it since May 14,08. It brings her comfort and peace, even though I thought I brought her comfurrt and psssfftt. : ) She says that music invites the Spirit. And I have seen it happen. Not... a last minute miracle. Oh yes. The fun part of the blog.... Holiday Bryn!!! Mom and me got some pictures from Holiday Bryn on her favorite holiday. The 4th of July parade in Midway... guess who's she sitting by?... The Romney's... and everyone's smashingly decked out in red-white-and blue, how much more patriotic can you get. Wow.. Holiday Bryn is amazing, next thing ya know, she'll be sending pictures of her bad self in Hong Kong , Yankee stadium or some other far away land. We love our Holiday Bryn, she's better and prettier than any Mattel squeeze toy ever invented ....Mom just informed me it's time for prayers, scriptures and bed. She has her roostine just like clockwork, she's not very spoontainous ( little diva dog joke there) she is gonna write about Lolo's " Last Minute Miracle" at Palmyra Pageant next blog, I have totally convinced her I need her more. Stay on the "Right Side of the Light Side" Thank-you for your loves and support for Lolo and Mom. You all are our earth angels, and we love you. Love from a Missionary Mom, Kathy and little Roostifer Jane "the Lamb of God"

Roostie's Letter

This letter to Lolo is from Roostie, Laura's beloved Maltese.

Hi Lolo, how is Palmyra? I wanted you to know I think about you all the time. I miss your laugh, your bright smile, your pretty fingers, your red hair and how you take good care of mom. I love how you read me the Book of Mormon and said I will be with you forever. I love how you gave me so many names like Roostifer Jane Cragun.. the Dean of Roostifer Jane University. You have a talent for nicknames. bloosey coo, Baby, Kidia, Kathabeblion, winder's, warm cozy, cuddle front,spoony and almost everything in the house has a nickname.Mom's writing as I talk to her, remember I don't have oppossible thumbs, or a baby box. But did you see my face today? I am so cute. Mom is crazy about her new Doctor. Lolo...What are we gonna do with Mom?... remember you said that? then you said" love her... just love her..that's all we can do" I am proud of you and your decisions, no matter how much I miss you... I am beaming like Mom does. It takes a strong , determined and un-selfish person to go on a mission and share the gospel of Jesus Christ. I say prayers with Mom every night and we always bless you and the investigators. Well I need to go help Mom get ready, you know how she gets tangled up in her clothes. Sometimes I need to stop her at the door and adjust her a bit. Then I remind her to
"Stay on the Right side of the Light Side" and off she goes. I love you Lolo and I am planning a big wing dinger of a party for your return....everybody clap !!
Love little Roo and Mommy too !
PS Hi Holiday Bryn, be safe in the skies. and sorry I bark so much, just trying to get a word in edge wise. LOL xoxo
