1. Austin's new groomer did a great job!

2. My suv is having issues but luckily we were able to fit Austin in my husband's small car to get him to his appointment.

3. I was able to complete a 3 mile walk/run. It's been since last August that I have been able to run due to a stress fracture.

Stress fractures are not fun. Glad you've healed enough to run/walk. Take good care, Mary.

The colors in your painting today made me smile, Emily.

1. Biggest red huckleberries ever from our bush.

2. Reading a well written book after reading lots of cozy mysteries in a row (I enjoy both).

3. Chocolate.
