We've had some busy days and nights around here.  Adella is so busy growing up that my head is spinning...and the dogs always need to go out.  (I love dogs for keeping things real.  Get as philosophical as you want, kid, but get me out on time or its curtains for your carpets!)
Della and her friends cleaned up nicely, and her friend's pups were great about it until they weren't.  Then they wanted in on the action.  Wearing nylon stockings are not an everyday event for this crowd, so when the dogs came looking for a piece of the action, we held our breath. 
Later in the weekend, we discovered that Clyde is an alien with night vision.  Because we are very fond of him, we hope his spaceship does not come back.  Ever.
Maeve is an Earthling.  We're happy about this.
These days of new curriculum, new job responsibilities, and dozens of future taxpayers whose reading and writing skills need a heck of a lot of work have kept me from blogging and my other favorite forms of recreation.  I visit when I can and will do more--and I'm always glad when you stop by.
