School's out! Let's celebrate! Then I'll get started on all the things that have taken a backseat during the school year. It's hard, if not impossible, to do all of the things I would like to do during the school year. I have home improvement and decorating projects stacked up. I have furniture shopping that I want to do. And I'd like to fix up our sun porch. We bought this house almost a year ago, but once school started all of those things were put on hold.
Anyway, I'll need sustenance to fuel my plans!

For the first time in a long time, we had a nice relaxing weekend at home. We went to the dog park, and Halley got to play chase with another dog. We went out to eat, ran errands, and took care of some of those things that just seem to get pushed back until "later." This week should be a regular week with no extra commitments, until Saturday, when I have to work... All in all, life is good.

Woof Wednesday - Birthday Edition
Happy birthday, Halley! Monday was our two year anniversary with Halley! I call it her birthday, because I don't know when she was born, but she came to our family on January 18, 2014. We got her a new collar, leash, and harness (Lupine Pet), some dog ice cream (Frosty Paws), and a new toy. She's a great addition to our family!
