Hello Hello....is this thing on?

Hi all. Sorry for the disappearing act....it's been a bit of a struggle for me lately. But things are good. All good.

Puppy is getting big, and getting easier to care for.
Swimming pool is no longer green. After only three and a half weeks of work, chemicals, and much swearing, we are swimming. Every single year it's something with that darn pool. Why do we have pools? Because they are so relaxing. Right.

Summer has finally arrived, with a vengeance. I should just open a vein and send it directly to Choptank Electric Cooperative. $400 last month for electricity, and it was a month without A/C or heat. I can't wait to see this one. But to not having the A/C on, it's like full-on menopause all the time.

Max is working at Wal-Mart, Maggie is still at Best Buy. Spending their summers making money. Yippee!

Richard's promotion has kept him super busy. He's doing his old job, and trying to do his new job. We don't see each other very much, it seems. Poor guy. This too shall pass...but I hope it passes quickly.

I know I know. This is boring. I took a pill about 40 minutes ago, and it's making me very sleepy and very unwitty.

Let me end this before you all fall asleep....zzzzzzzzz

But wait, wait. Before I go, I leave you with this, the world's largest underpants.



Miss F....where she came from, where she's going....



Miss Fina is HUGE. She's also becoming quite the young lady, and I'm starting to see the kind of adult she will be. We still have so much to learn, and we have a bit to correct, but I'm seeing the result of practice, practice, practice.
Of course, all this practice makes us very very tired. She fell asleep with her head in one of her favorite toys....one of Roxanne's old food bowls.

Upon perusing the GEB website, I found pictures of her Mom and Dad, Zola and Merwin. What beautiful parents. I can't decide who she looks more like. If I remember correctly, Zola was raised up in Maine, and is a superior dog, a great girl. I haven't heard anything about Merwin (I love his sort-of-nerdy name).



Merwin Zola

Aren't they something? I think she's got her Mom's eyes, and her Dad's coloring.

I must apologize to all for my lack of postings. Twenty lashes for me. My moons haven't been in the seventh house, and all that...it's been a couple of tough weeks. But we move forward.

I promise that I'll update more. I didn't realize how many people read this....but I've heard from them on my lack of postings!

Onward and upward, puppies!
