Loylya











is our current respite puppy. She is a six month old lab that will train to be a seeing eye dog when she grows up.  Her foster family is on vacation so she is staying with us for three weeks.  Guide Dogs and Sunny Dogs Russia(Dogs as Assistants for Special People) is the program she is training through.  She is darling and we love having her here!~

Work Party










R invited some of his colleagues and their families to come have a picnic at our home.  They organized a "little lunch" then we went to the beach to swim, build sandcastles, play volleyball and badminton and sunbathe and visit.  Later, we grilled and cooked and ate.  We had hotdogs and hamburgers with buns and fixins', they were familiar with the meats but not as much with the fixins' and buns.  We also introduced them to roasting marshmallows and making s'mores.  We hope they had as much fun as we did!
