No reason.  I just post him cause he’s so cute.   Any time you get a quilt out to do the binding he and Merlin have to fight over who gets to lay on it.  He always wins cause he’ll just stand there till Merlin gets tired of him breathing on him and gets up.

And speaking of dogs.  It’s never good when your 1000 miles away and your house sitter sends these pictures.  I’m sure they rolled in cat poop.

Not only did I get to see Jill and Mark again but I convinced Shannon and Robert to come along.   We had such a great time.  Jill and Mark came up with some great places to visit.  We spent one day visiting a safari like place where the animals are left to live in their natural habitat rather than in cages.  The next day we went and visited the famous Trans Alagheny Lunatic Asylum.   Wow not only was it really amazing to see how ornate and well built those places were, but to hear the history and things like how simple it was to have someone committed was great.

We got to meet Jill’s mom and dad. What a wonderful couple and so sweet.   I need to make him a pirate quilt.  Our last day we got to visit Aunt Bonnie and hubby Jack in Hurricane WV.  They are just the sweetest couple you’d ever meet.  Even got to deliver her the Blenko glass fish I found in Georgia.    But as always, the highlight of our trip was getting to spend time with Jill and Mark.  Shannon and Robert even found me a little antique iron in a local shop in Ohio.

I would like to say I’m too busy but the truth is, I forget to come here and add to my blog.  Trying to get better about that.

I have a neighbor that owns the duplex next door and has been so kind to cut my grass all summer – for free.  Figured the least I could do was make him something that said thank you.  Finally got it delivered yesterday.
