Good morning, everyone!
I am sitting in Panara this morning, mostly because we are out of power from storms that rolled through Memphis yesterday. It was one place that I knew I could use the wifi, and they would have plugs - both the computer and the phone needed juice. It's a great world when you can plug up, get a good bagel and have a glass of tea (all that and AC, too!). Interestingly enough, I have seen 3 parishners since I've been here!
We have a new addition to the family. Keith has been talking about getting a basset hound for some time. I found one "free to good home" on Craig's list. I thought I would garner some points for showing it to Keith. I just knew that 700 people would be responding to the add, and we had no chance of getting him. (never, ever assume! Why don't I listen to my father??) Well, long story short, I sent my response, and the owner emailed me RIGHT BACK and said that we were the family he was praying for. Lucky me. :) We picked him up on Thursday morning. He is one honkin' big dog. Beautiful, sweet, good and vocal dog - but BIG. He only has 5" legs, but when he stand on his hind legs, he stands as tall as me!
The girls are adjusting (Isabel is S L O W L Y coming a long). He love them, but they are a little scared of him. It has been fun watching them together. He seems to be ajusting well to life at the Boettners. Here is a pix of him:
In other news, I have not found work yet. I and found a lot of other things to do, but now work. I have been busy helping friends, visiting, and school. I could get used to his housework stuff.
I have to run. Time to meet Keith, and go see if we have any power.
Peace!
