Let's try again



This is Myla - guess I'd better find out how to spell her name! She's going to be coming to live with us for awhile. Maybe just for a little while if it doesn't go well, maybe forever if it does! My friend Rose was telling me last week about a friend of hers whose dog needed a new home so I got a call this afternoon. Myla's family has moved to a place that doesn't allow dogs. They may only be there till June but if we like Myla we can keep her. She's 2 years old, part golden lab and part who knows what - something big. She seems like a pretty nice dog, may need some refresher obedience training, but she did used to live with a cat which bodes well for Vespers & Timmy. She'll be coming over Thursday morning and I'll keep you posted!

In other news I just wanted to post these 2 pictures as well:

"The togetherness of computer geeks"

And this great piggy bank which Suzanne at work gave me for a much-belated birthday present. It's so I can buy shoes next time I'm in NYC - for her!! I love it!!

The garden in fall







It's my day off so I thought I'd take some pictures this morning. Needed to take some pictures to scrap with all my new fall embellishments!

Otherwise, when last I posted it was after the non-existent auction. All the stuff from Greg's shop (and more) is back in our basement & carport although Greg is taking a load to the dump as we speak.

I had my hair coloured last week and although people have been clamouring for pictures, you just can't tell what it looks like! Which is, I guess, far more noticeable to me than to anyone else. I wanted to go darker blonde so the roots wouldn't always show so easily but she got carried away and put a bunch of brown foils in the front which I am just not liking.

Greg's brother is coming for a visit next weekend - he hasn't been out here for a few years so we're looking forward to seeing him.

Same old same old at work, people are getting very frustrated there. I am waiting to see how a proposed re-organization may affect me later this year (could be a good thing).

A-M was here last week, walking the half marathon. Good for her! Maybe next year I will give it a try.

Anyway as you can see, my world is not very interesting right now. So there you go...
