Dear Diary
Well, with Christmas behind us everything is settling down to normal again.
Kids
are back at school, work is back (though not for long) and it is a sunny 73
degrees outside (you gotta love Texas!). Ripley's leg is finally done
mending and he is released to normal activity again. Here he is, clearly
enjoying the freedom this release brings
.
Not to be outdone, Lizzie joined him in celebrating his new ability to run and
play again
.
In any case, how do you like my new fireplace screen? We had been meaning
to get one for years, but when we saw how expensive they are we always left the
store without one. However, Lizzie likes to pick up the little black lava rocks
and chew on them, so we were tired of picking them up from all over and putting
them back in the fireplace. So in a way, we owe our new screen to her.
It looks nice though, doesn't it?
The biggest news this month is that we are getting ready for the Westminster
dog show in New York. Tom
and I will be leaving February 7 and staying in New York for about 4 days. I
have box tickets
and we will stay at the show all day that Monday and Tuesday. I am so
excited I can hardly stand it
!
They judge the Cavaliers at 1:45 on Monday, so you can bet we will be there
then! In any case, I am sure we will have lots of pictures and tales to
tell upon our return from that!
Meanwhile, I am biding my time at work. The end of March seems so far
away, yet so close as well. It will be strange not going to work anymore after
being there so long. But at the same time, it isn't the same place it used
to be and I can hardly stand what it has become. I am becoming quite
accustomed to the life of the stay home parent and you know, it isn't half bad.
There is a whole world of activity going on around this place when David gets
home from school...girls coming by, kids all around. Yep, I think I will
just keep my eye on this for a while, while I work on the next phase of my
life...but you will hear more about that a little closer to summer.....
Well, there are no pictures this time...I tried to insert most of the ones I
have taken in this update (you can see I haven't taken very many lately...but
there will be MANY dog show pics come next update! Until then, take care.
