Canadian Delight





This week has been a special delight with our friends from Canada
here for Spring Break.
Sean, Traci, Shannon and Nicole came for the week to visit and get
out of the snow and cold of Canada. Our weather here was great.
We had sunshine and 60's-70's all through the week.
And we got to do some fun things together, like get lost in
Nashville. We visited Jack Daniels' Distillery in Lynchburg, Tenn.
We went to the Space and Rocket Center one day. And took a side
trip to Scottsboro, Alabama to the Natl. Unclaimed Baggage Outlet.
We also had to stop at Hammers on our way out of Historic Downtown
Scottsboro. You just never know what treasures you're going to find.
It all went so fast...
the side trips, the eating out, the movies, the games...
Now it's all over and they are back home. And I'm thinking we ought
to get together again real soon.

Rootbeer Update

We went back to the vet on Friday and they removed all the stitches from Rootbeer. He's looking really good. He's eating now.
I think he's trying to gain back a little weight that he'd lost.
He's even chasing Joie around the house again. And she's quite
irritated by it.
Last Sunday we woke up to a dusting of snow. And yesterday the temps. were in the mid-seventies. So, Rootbeer and I were out in the yard quite a lot yesterday. He stayed pretty close to me and everytime I called him, he came. Whenever I went inside, he did too.
Today he's snoring, heavily underneath the master bed.
All that fresh air makes you want to nap.
