Levi

 

Our puppy turned one in October. He is such a sweet boy -- playful, super friendly, affectionate. My friends and family were all flabbergasted that I got a dog. It was Don's idea and he thought Absolutely Not would make a fine name but he named him Levi after his paternal grandfather.

I've lived with dogs before, but they were never "my" dog. Levi is definitely my dog.

People constantly stop me on the street to remark about my handsome companion.


Sometimes he can be a little naughty,
like when he steals the bathmat and plays keep-away. It's all part of the routine.

    Cute dog! What makes him unique is his black hair.

    I love Absolutely Not, now that's a damn hoot! Levi is a good looking dog. Dog's add a lot to our lives. I so miss my Izzy. I couldn't have a dog right now with Rick's illness but I sure do miss one. I'll have to live vicariously through your and Levi's adventures.

    It's great that you and Levi have formed such a close bond. A devoted dog is a wonderful thing.

    Absolutely Not!!!! What a great name for a dog you got anyway. I'm more of a cat person, but my son who lives upstairs has a dog, Augi, who visits often in search of the cat's food. I love the dog but am convinced that, for me, the best kind of dog to have is Someone Else's.

    He is so cute. I fostered a lost pug for the night and Buddy had a hissy fit so I guess no more dogs in my future

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
