Still Around...

It has been FOREVER since I last blogged! The Spokeswoman's computer died a hideous death, really cramping MY style. But, in spite of my mostly computerless status, my life has been very full and busy. I've been attending dog training classes every week. The Spokeswoman and I walk an average of 4 miles each day (often starting before dawn). Then, in the evenings the whole pack comes with us (including the two youngest Ninjas) for a more leisurely walk. I've accompanied the Spokespeople lots of places this summer...last week, we attended a performance of the Dan Tyminski band (the Spokesguy is old friends with two of the bandmembers) and this afternoon, we hung out on the town square to watch the Oldest Ninja's Homecoming parade. Oldest Ninja played the part of an pitifully entrapped Leprachaun on her class's float. She looked wrought such sympathy from the small children in the crowd that some of them were yelling at the football player to let her out of the cage and then they started throwing the candy they had gathered at the float trying to feed the pitiful, trapped, Leprachaun! I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out, watching the parade and watching the crowd. It was pretty much a perfect day! Oh...did I mention?...I ride around in the NEW car all the time now! Yup...I've established my claim on it!!!
