Last week I visited some friends in NC and

actually walked for a bit on the Appalachian

Trail!

This piece is on Wayah Bald Mountain...

about 5000 ft. above sea level.

Now I REALLY have the desire to do it all!!!

Ben & Jordan...we're

getting ready to go

for a swim after

eating out at Anna

Maria Oyster Bar

Restaurant.

Jordan will enter

his junior year of

college in August,

and Ben will be a

junior in high school!

Ginger knew I was going to leave her at a new home...her ears are back, but she's a good sport, as always. I'll go back to visit her next week and leave her papers and heartworm pills. I miss her, but she has the woods to explore now, and can take a dip in the river.

could dry her new wings upon exit)

Meet the pups!

It's November now, and the puppies are 8 weeks old. They stream out of the garage in the morning when I open the door, then streak back to me because of the chill in the air. They are fun and adorable, but I'm ready to share the joy with adopted parents. Some calls, no takers yet.
