Mini Family Reunion for Beau

Gus on his back with Job (dark spots left), Beau (center), and mama Lady looking on in disgust

Beau had a short playdate with his brother, Job, and mom, Lady. They came by for a visit on Wednesday. Job had been staying with his gramma, Phyllis, while Lady got a break from motherhood with Jack and Maria on the Appalachian Trail. Their 54 mile hike probably seemed like a walk in the park to Lady, since her stint at baby duty was prolonged by Job becoming a permanent fixture in "her" home!
Job seemed to show just a little too much interest in Gus, so the visit was a quick one!
Thanks for bringing them by, Jack & Maria!

Beau gets to play with Addie!

On this beautiful fall Sunday, I took my puppy, Beau, to the Gilliland's to run off some energy with Marcy and Bob's golden, Addie. He was a little shy at first, but they had fun! The object of the play date was to run them both ragged...it worked for a little while.

Stumpin' for Sarah!

Sam and I went to the Sarah Palin rally at the Civic Center last Sunday afternoon with Jennifer and Jake Cardillo. We waited in line for about 1-1/2 hours to see her. It was sure an experience. We enjoyed it, and Sam collected buttons and bought a McCain/Palin t-shirt to wear to school. What a wonderful way to annoy a few teachers! It was a great learning experience for him, and he and Jake insisted on walking right throught the Obama "zombie" protestors outside afterward!
