The past Sunday we went to my sister's church so we could attend the baptism of Edané (got her name right now). Decked out in a small white dress that my sister apparently wore when she was young, Edané stayed with my mom in the Mother Room in the church until the baptism.

My sister's two pomeranians are getting old, and nowhere is this more evident than with the brown-furred Tinkie. My parents just visited my sister and brother-in-law, and they saw that Tinkie is looking pretty bad. He can't eat, is very thin and his teeth are going very bad.

A short time ago my dad brought a 3GB thumbnail drive back from the car dealership he was working at. Seems it was lying there when someone took it for a test drive and then forgot it. So he brought to me after no one came to claim it. It had been lying here for a month or two now, so I decided to go and have a look at its contents, perhaps hoping ( Read more... )
