S-whine flu or H1-UH OH

OK, I feel like crap. Let me just say that up front. I caught some horrible cold/sore throat/plague sort of thing.
(Big sigh!) I suppose it could be worse. Oh wait, it is, my truck failed its inspection because it has a broken tie rod end thingy, so its at the repair shop racking up who knows how much of a bill. And tomorrow is our annual Open House at the dog training business, so I am popping Vitamin C and eating aspirin in hopes to be cured by then.

So there has been even less blogging than usual. I have had way too much couch time this week and there truly is nothing on TV!

So that's why you have not heard from me.

I'll be back soon but in the meantime here are a few pictures to keep you all busy.

Kindle and one her best buddies, Sydney.

Christie and her baby dog Winee. I think she needs a bigger toy!

Tyler doing his stalking wolf impression. Very scary!

Tasha being, well Tasha. Gotta love those ears.

See you all soon.

The Pub!

It's Friday!
Every Friday Scott and I are in town we have dinner at a little neighborhood Irish pub. We are very fond of it. I truly look forward to it every week.
The food is good and they have really, really good beer.
Now I don't want you all thinking I am a lush or anything. My days of drinking to the point of falling down, walking into walls or ending up waking the next day with a pounding head are long gone. But I do love a good beer.

I do NOT drink light beer. I would prefer water to that. I like stouts, porters, good wheat beers and a Murphy's Irish Amber will make my heart sing. Scott feels much the same though he prefers a nice bitter IPA.

On top of all that, the owners of the "Pub" have become friends, family. The waitstaff know us by name and even fight over who will wait on us. So flattering! We have also made some very good friends with other "regulars". It's like Cheers, we walk in and people yell Scott! Louise!
We love it.


So its Friday and in a few minutes we will head out to relax and watch the Patriots while we enjoy dinner and a good beer, at our home away from home.

Hmmmm should I have the Fire & Ice steak tips or Bangers and Mash.....

My new header

I've had a few comments about my new header. I thought I should give credit to the photographer. My friend Sheila vacations in Maine every summer and she captured this amazing lightening last summer at the beach. I just love the colors and the "fingers" of bolts.
So Sheila, thanks for sharing.
