Crafty!

Thanksgiving 2012 was really named "Craft-tacular Thanksgiving 2012". As the name implies, Zoe, April and I made spectacular crafts. Mom helped. Ben did homework... Anyway, this was one of my crafts. It is a perpetual calendar. The idea is you write something about your day and over the years you can compare the days. Now I mostly finished that weekend, but I had 3 months that weren't stamped with the month/day. I finally finished today...woo! Go me!

It has been fun thinking about what part of my day I want to record. I hope the novelty doesn't wear off and I continue recording for years.

Spring!

Spring is in full force. Or is it summer? Either way, it is beautiful outside and Pie is enjoying being on the porch.

I love this weather!

Meet Lulu.

So I guess I should write a post about losing Nova, but I don't think I will. I still miss her everyday.

Helping me to be less devastated about losing Nova, is Lulu. I adopted her 3 weeks ago. She is a funny little mutt puppy. No one can agree on what she is, so I'm getting a DNA test. And she is about 6 months old.

She is a great dog. Sure, she had been sneezing snot for almost the whole time I've had her, but that will go away. (At least it better go away). She is fitting in so well. Pie still hisses at her, but only if she is blocking something Pie wants. She doesn't chase Pie. She didn't bark. She sleeps in her kennel. She is hilarious.

Tonight, she discovered she could get on my bed. Instantly, she put her head on my pillow and snuggled in. I better nip that in the bud!

I really am grateful to have her. She has made me so happy. Welcome to the household Lulu-pup!
