Why I Love Sonja

I helped bring Sonja into the world one Saturday afternoon in June. She was the last puppy born in the litter of 5, and was the runt. She was one of two tricolor beagles, the other three were lemon and white, like their mother, Melo (seen in the background). Sonja is just a goof ball. She barks when the others bark, just cause she can. She burrows under blankets, and jumps in your lap like she doesn't weigh 38 pounds. She eats voraciously, and looks at you with the sweetest brown eyes you have ever seen. Technically, she is Jason's dog, but she loves everybody unconditionally.

Shiny Christmas Remnants

One last holiday photo from this Christmas season. "Still in holiday mode" - enjoying a quiet day off, for a change.

A Plethora of Ribbon Candy

A delightful array of colors and shapes. And it tastes good, too!

The Christmas Rush is Through

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
(Ahh, Karen Carpenter, don't you just love her voice?)

Ribbon Candy

A sweet treat - too pretty to eat!

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas, December 25, 2008. May all your wishes come true!
