Our Great Dane litter arrived on Tuesday and our house has been happily turned upside down! We have six precious pups and mom (Lola)
is doing fine.
Puppy Heaven
Toad Abode
Ever heard of a toadhouse? Me neither. But now we have one in our back yard, and every time a toad spends the night there, Mike gets all excited and takes pictures.
A Good Way of Life
Mike and the kids make fun of me because I love A Prairie Home Companion. Always have. Always will. And every Sunday from 10-12 when I tune in, all I hear from my family is stuff like “turn that @#*&^ off,” accompanied by big eye rolls and aggressive station changing. Pee-shaw! Who cares what they think. PHC has been around almost continually since 1974 and 4 million other folks just happen to agree with me: It’s one of the most special programs on radio, a throwback to simpler times. Founder and host Garrison Keillor said, “When the show started, it was something funny to do with my friends, and then it became an achievement that I hoped would be successful, and now it’s a good way of life.” This Saturday, my pal Barbara S. and I are going to see Mr. Keillor and the whole Prairie Home gang perform the show live at the Fox Theatre in ATL. Guy Noir, Dusty and Lefty, Lake Wobegon, here we come.
Hello. This page is on hold while I criss-cross Colorado for work. Back with ya soon. Make it a great day!
Blog Sharing Time – Report from South Africa
Our oldest, Arielle, is in South Africa right now with Global L.E.A.D.
(http://www.globalleadprogram.org/).
Many of the students are writing on the L.E.A.D. Cape Town blog about their experiences and adventures. So far, Arielle has gone cage diving with Great White Sharks, she’s ridden elephants, gone on safari, and jumped off the highest bungee jump in the world (her first and last time, she says). Her leadership and community work will start next week.
