Jennifer & Cadie’s visit
A coworker of mine that has become a friend came over to my house Saturday afternoon. This is quite an unusual feat due to the distance of the drive ... most people I know from work - live close by work. What a novel concept! So, to have someone visit me, REALLY means a lot. It's quite a hike to my place, so the time spent driving (not to mention gas $$$) is considerable (I'll say about an hour's drive).

We had the most wonderful time ... I'm so glad she came out. Not only did she bring the best hostess gift .. a 12 pack of Heineken ... (a 12 PACK!!!! ... not 6, but 12!), she also brought stuff to make tortilla soup, which will be tonight's dinner since we grilled burgers, potatoes, onions and garlic last night.

I believe Perseus enjoyed Cadie's company - but he's just too broken (like me). Cadie is a beuuutiful blond lab-ish looking mix. Unfortunately she's 8 months old - and almost the size of Perseus. She kept knocking him off his feet and he couldn't run and keep up with her. I feel so awful ... I've done everything I can for him. (Thank you MOM - $4,000 of specialist vet diagnostics and surgery.) And I really don't think there's anything else we can do outside of medicating him.

Anyway ... Jenn got here mid afternoon, we had to stay outside under the willow tree because the pup was too rambunctious to be inside on the linoleum floor with Perseus. (Pers slips and falls on non-carpeted areas.) We looked thru old pictures from her past and mine. Shared stories, bonded over beer and food.

Johnny got home around 5, I think. He wasn't feeling too well, so he helped with a few things and laid down for a nap. He looked very handsome. I believe I'm falling for him all over again. He's been so wonderful since he's stopped drinking. (Now if we could just win the lottery ... )

When he got up, he got the grill going and we got the food ready and continued to talk and sit outside, enjoying the nice breeze and companionship. Jenn stayed the night and left pretty early this morning after we burned a few cds she liked.

All in all it was a wonderful time. Thanks, Jennifer, for coming out!!!

puppies, babies, friends
