news of late....

Bill & Leila are still around and enjoying the few days of summer weather that has struggled to break out. if you have not heard yet... we have a new puppy. she is Charlotte Louise and she is a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. apparently the friendliest breed of dog in the world. she IS pretty sweet and is very friendly.

i think i haven't blogged much because i have found it a challenge to get a decent picture of her. this is what i dealt with yesterday... yes, that is the camera cord in her jaws.


Bill's nickname for her when she gets like this is 'Wolverine'. people tend to think she is so sweet and innocent looking... there is a whole other side to her personality!


she finally just moved on to my shoelace. Charlotte, like all puppies, likes shoes a bit too much.


this is her favorite spot, it's her perch. she will just sit here and watch the neighborhood. she loves being outside. but because of that she is always pretty much a wreck with tree pitch and all. not quite the royal cavalier she is expected to be! the perch helps with that though... 'tis a bit like a throne.


well other than Charlotte, work that is always overwhelming for Bill (but something to be very thankful for). not so much going on except....

had a great dinner with sweet friends on Saturday. the purpose being, we share anniversaries (well by four days) and we have decided to celebrate them together this year.


in Italy! yes we are going back. we are going with Randy & Darlene. Randy, like Bill, is half Italian and they have always wanted to see this amazing country.


so we are heading back to Tuscany this Fall. we have booked our flights, our Villa and our little Euro Auto. this time we will also be spending a couple of days in Cinque Terra.

so that's about it, a pup and a trip. there is a lot going on with our kids (o: so maybe someday i'll have some cool stuff to post about that.

thanks for taking the time to read.
