Puppy Love




Meet Avery!

This is my precious baby, Avery. She is the best dog in the world!
I may be slightly biased, but many people agree with me.
She is easy to love. I loved her from the first moment that I saw her and I love her more every day.
She is always happy, always smiling and always willing to snuggle... and let's be honest, that face is adorable!

Avery will be eight years old next month...get ready for the celebration! 

So, this is the first of many posts dedicated to my sweet baby dog.





This is her "I can sit on the couch just like you" pose.
So cute!

Have a great day!

Hello!

This is my first official blog post...really I just want to see if this actually works.

Just Add Clay has several meanings for me.

First, my married last name is Clay. I have been married for a year and a half and I have yet to legally change my name. It is going to be difficult for me to just add Clay as my last name. Adam, my husband, is totally fine with me keeping my maiden name. Bless him. I did tell him before we got married that I wouldn't change my name until I was pregnant...or until my current driver license expires.

Second, just add clay has a spiritual meaning. I have always liked the way God is described as the potter and we are the clay. When we make mistakes in life we, as the clay, get cracked or broken. He simply adds clay and with the care of His hands we are made new and perfect in His sight.

Third, I live in Alabama. There is no shortage of clay around here. I am no farmer, but if I were...no, nevermind, I don't think I would make it as a farmer. :)
I love the outdoors and all the wonderful trees and flowers, the blue sky and the green grass. What I don't like is pollen, bugs, bees, smelling like the outdoors...you get the idea. See why I stopped myself with the "if I were a farmer" statement.

Ok, I am sure as I go along that "Just Add Clay" will have more meanings, but three in one post is enough for me.

That is all for this first post of mine. I know, not very exciting. No pictures, no great words of wisdom.
But, hey, this is my first post...it can only get better from here!
