Not gonna sleep on the floor (OR: Does this chair make my butt look big?)

BUT,

JUST CAN'T

SEEM TO

GET COMFORTABLE

Wow! Windy today!

Fred finally got to go to our local dog park

None of his old friends were around though..

But when we got home, look at what the wind did to a tree on our block:

????????

The dog with the longest tongue in the world.

Sure. He looks normal here:

But, take a gander at this!

The kids, and their pups, Tico long tongue, and Chuchi came for dinner ....Fred and Tico wrassled and rolled around to the point of absolute exhaustion

HELPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

Uncle!

Chuchi as always, finds all this juvenile behavior excruciatingly boring

VOILA!!!

AND, This is why we have children.

So, as you probably know, I am heading to the cold North next week to have my femur chopped off, errrr, I mean, have a probable hip replacement.

The true hope here is that we get there and someone says: "Awwww. Go go home. Didn't anyone tell you a little RICE (Rest, elevation, something and something) will cure this?"

But, nevertheless, my new mantra- Hope for the Best. Plan for the Worst-- has gone into action.

I have been frantically unpacking Florida stuff, repacking for Mayo, cooking, freezing, getting papers in order, and on...and on.... But the big issue is: where to sleep when you can't climb the stairs?

HA!!! I have a wonderful daughter! Who came Riding In On Her White Horse!!!!!

We spent roughly 10 hours removing 20 plus years of crap from my office. Oh, what a job.

Dear daughter hauled all the keepables down to the basement for me.

Then we scouted the house for furniture. 

And this is how we managed to transform the office into a bedroom:

Those strings in the foreground? You can buy paper shades to stick to your windows!! Who knew?

And here is a sock monkey made by my dear departed Grandmother

Goodbye, Hello

So Long Boca

Hello Home Sweet Home

Louisville. KY!!! Well really, Jeffersonville,IN

This is Freddy's favorite place ever.
Here is why:
Last night Louisville hosted the biggest fireworks show in the entire universe.
Everyone who came ate pizza, wings, dog on a stick, burgers, whatever.....and threw the leftovers on the sidewalk and grass.
Guess who can't get enough ???
He's whining at the door, whining not at the door, trying to stay outside when he does go out. This is purely Nirvana on a Stick. for a Lab.
We do have a view of the bridge over the river though.

This is it. Macon. Georgia.

one third of the way home.
