Larry and I are saying "cheers to good health" this week. The reason we noticed our good health is that Larry temporarily lost his. Thank goodness, it appears to be coming back. There are several versions to what happened, the quickest is that he was pulled about 30-40 feet across a parking lot by an SUV. He didn't lose his footing so he wasn't dragged. Just pulled. The other versions include him leaping across car tops in a single bound to save a poor little family from certain destruction. Of course, these stories are also true. So he basically has serious muscle strain. He's going to physical therapy and is off work for at least three weeks. He's fine,but bored and tired of hurting. Anyway, it helped us to realize how much of our life plans depend on us being able to get around. It doesn't sound like that stunning or dramatic of a discovery, but for some reason it was for us!! Three cheers for our health!
I like
reading memoirs. The latest two that I have enjoyed are "The Glass Castle," by Jeanette Walls, and A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel. They are different from each other, but entirely wonderful to read. It seems that everyone thinks their life could be a memoir. I have a friend who's dad says "Everyone has at least one good book in them." I like to think that's true. For these girls it definitely was.

We weren't planning on getting another puppy. It just sort of happened and now it's wonderful. Piper and Keifer are best friends! It's so darling. And Larry is so happy to have a "boy." It's pretty adorable around here.
