Dinner tonight:

Nice , may the 4th be with you

And also with you.

I also knocked out most of tomorrow's dinner with a chicken and rice enchilada bake, done. Tomorrow I'll roast up some zucchini and cut up some watermelon and avocado to go with it.

The rest of you appear to be wizards with food. I'm barely allowed in the kitchen by my housemates

Practice helps. And it's a way of sharing love, even when you can't be/eat together. Like... Thing1 works at 5 tomorrow so I know we won't eat together BUT he can take a hot thermos of the bake with him, and the sides, and when he eats it he will know we love him and he'll be with us, in a way.

That's a great way to look at it HUGS How are you?

Better than Friday. Sleep, eat, shower.....

And I did get out into the sun and touched grass. Well. Dirt. Sand, anyway.

Thing1 and Jewel - she's in the turquoise harness. The black and white pup was a friend we hadn't met yet.

Jewel got two new toys that float and a collapsible bucket we can use to carry toys AND double as a water bowl.

Jewel looks like she's having a blast!

She was conflicted. All the new people and the new setting and the DOGS SHE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE THAT MANY DOGS IN THE WORLD!!!! It got her anxious. But she DID like going to get the toy. She wouldn't give it to us unless we stopped her and demanded it; given a choice she would take it to our pile of stuff and drop it there.

And there were a few times I had to tell our overwhelming new friends to back away and play elsewhere, lest she snap and snarl.

Oh dear. Well, baby.. err puppy steps

Yeah, we didn't stay long but we DID do it. You know?

Yup!

I think that helped too.

Forgive my distraction. I am glad we have the house back to ourselves, but we had a tree drop a big branch thanks to the rain... and while my friend did 90% of the work, it was still a surprise. Had to cut it fast so it didnt block part of the street

No worries! Handle yo bizniz.

Seems another case of terrible timing on my behalf.

Ah, well...so it goes. I'll try to be on earlier tomorrow night!

Sorry, wasn't feeling well tonight

So I hung it up rather early for an emergency crash/nap ,and then peeked in too late

Ah well. Hugs NIght for real this time
