It’s been a fun week. People get a hold of my camera. Justin Bieber hasn’t been this young in a decade. Here the two babies. She loves the puppy. The puppy is very enthusiastic about this and she’s baby-mouthy and her teeth are so incredibly sharp. Her fangs were deflected with pillows. Yes, bite toys, […]

Weeks ago, it came to my attention that I had Vacation and Float time that I would lose at the end of the year if I did not use it up. I just started my job before the holidays last year, so this was all a little confusing to me. So my supervisor helped me
It’s looking like winter here finally–a little like Christmas! Jay spent the afternoon driving Maria and James back to their schools. Maria’s car has no brakes. AAA towed it to the repair shop this afternoon. Maria took care of all those phone calls. We’re working on housebreaking, so after she goes outside, when she comes

I found this goofy snowglobes at Target, and half a dozen others– they all had a fitting theme. It was a little weird. Dannell brought the kids and dragged John over too, to see our puppy. They played video games and ate snacks, ran around. The house is fairly tousled, but it was that way

Awwww. She’s tiny, but loved it outside, chasing Maria and Kari around in the snow. Dan, who said puppy, in his mind? Equals work. Yes, indeed, true. There was a camp out with her in the family room last night, so the puppy wouldn’t be scared. Kari said part of the night she slept inside
It started out like this, at a Christmas celebration at the grandkids school. That guy in the blue is Alicia’s brother and I am fond of him and his wife. They were brave enough to be my first real estate clients way back when. There were songs and kids and it was very, very

It took a bit of wrangling, lots of tired, overly-energetic kids, required actual socks, shoes, jackets with hoods, beyond just the usual throw on a life jacket. By the time we headed out it was turning dark–evenings are so short now at the end of October. These were some rowdy passengers. This side of the

We all went down to the water today, even though it was a little cloudy and cool at times. They had energy to burn. We didn’t put Jay’s boat in the water, but they had rides in the fishing boat and tubed behind the jet ski. Good enough. After everyone else was gone, we vacuumed
