It's That Time Again

It's my father's birthday again. Let me check....yep! I still miss him!

Happy Birthday, Pops!

"Where The Doggies Go?"

Picture Maddie's sweet little voice saying that at the dinner table, as she scans the room. Add to that Zach's heartfelt pleas not to get rid of the dogs.

Now you have an idea of how I feel about the situation.

Tapas And The Power Of Juju

Our good friends and fellow wine & tapas lovers The Cunningham's sent us an amazing house warming gift basket filled with Spanish delicacies galore! Thanks you guys! We miss you! And we'll toast a Rioja to you when we eat that Serrano ham and those Marcona almonds!

Your Spot On The Patio

Willie, we miss you always, but especially on lazy Sunday afternoons.

The Frog

We had a frog (toad, maybe?) in our lives this past week, but alas, only for a brief time. He (she?) was at our house for a few hours before being given away as a wedding shower gift. But in those few hours we fell in love with our new friend. We were very sad to see him go. Now we just sit on the couch and stare through tear-clouded eyes at the place he sat, missing his big shiny peepers and bumpy skin and smiley personality.

Not sure what we'll do without him, but Heather has hinted at going out and catching us one, for keeps.
