Its hard to keep blogs updated when your my age because time flies. Let's see, in the last 11 days since my last post, nothing bad has happened so that's good! I go to work, care for my patients, do mountains of paperwork, and then come home and play in my "studio". Had a very nice four day weekend though. On Saturday, we took my dad out for a cruise on the lake in a rented pontoon. All the sibs and spouses were together and it was a fun time. Kevin even managed to catch a bull trout that looked pregnant. Pictures are posted on my facebook. Then
on Monday, Kevin and I went on a little date which was nice. We had lunch at the Olive Garden (thanks docs!) and saw the Karate Kid (better than the original I thought and pretty good). Other than that I'm just busy busy busy and putter putter putter. Finished a tote bag for my mother in laws 85th birthday on the first. On the 27th of this month Natalie will be nine and I found a great little carved 4 poster bed for 18 inch dolls on craigs list and made a bed skirt, sheet set and little miniature quilt with fairies. Can't wait until she sees it. Hudson is getting ready to crawl! James and Leanna say things are finally settling down for them and I'm sure they are happy about that!
I also finished a good size wall hanging, picture posted on face book and will be starting a class at Quilt University online on realistic quilt portraits. I know exactly the picture I want to do -- its of my dad, sort of squatted down in front of the ocean in Hawaii. He looks relaxed and happy. Hope I can do the picture justice.
We did say goodbye to our sweet old dog, Ivory. She was put to sleep at River City Vet and they did an awesome job. It was a very sweet ending. Makes you wonder why we can't do that for people who are suffering but that's I know that's a very slippery slope topic.
We are enjoying our new Shih Tzu. She's a character and a clutz to the max. Kevin has started calling her Mutt Suzie (because he nicknames all things) but I am thinking of changing the spelling to be more japanese , ie Mutsuzi and letting the name stick. Chins are definitely more refined than Shih Tzu's but I like being able to snuggle her without getting covered with hair so I think we'll probably stick with Shih Tzu's for that reason alone!
I think that about covers my last 11 days. No new profound aha moments, no drama. Just life! See ya!

I am not sure why, but I wasn't even aware you have posted a couple of blogs. I will try to check your blog more frequently. I still think you should take a Boston Terrier. I would like to think of them as wolves in sheep clothing. They pretend to be soft and sweet and then turn into something else all together. lol.
