I like Your Dogs

There is beauty in the world, open your eyes. Yesterday, I took a long walk with my dogs and saw many beautiful things:
families skating on the oval
sun shining through the trees
sparkling snow
I felt the heat of the sun
Green Bay beat Dallas "yes"

but most beautiful, were the young guys who passed me and said, " hello," and one young guy took off his headphones and said," hey, I like your dogs." This cool, good looking first nations kid, smiled the biggest smile and just made my day. Most people wouldn't expect that of busy teenagers. It was a beautiful day.

Thanks so much to Nicole, who rescued us on Wednesday when Mark couldn't travel to Zama due to the windy weather. She taught the kids all day. We appreciate her willingness to help out anytime. 

Thanks to Eric who will be acting while I am away. Any questions just ask Eric, he will help you out. He is calm and cool and has always helped us out during these absences and I thank him for that.
