Day Trip

Today we took a ride to Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park way down upon the Suwannee River in White Springs, FL. Google, Stella, Mary & I hung out at the picnic area while Barbara, Judy & John explored the park.

Pups & John

John enjoyed Google's company for breakfast on the side patio.

Why should I lay on my comfy bed when there's a perfectly good rug right in front of the door?

Google opted for John's Aerobed!

Barbara's Birthday

Sushi Bear for Barbara's birthday lunch.

Mary got Barbara Cosanti Windbells when she was in Arizona.

Graffiti at Mikler's Landing

Busy Day

Courtney showered & dried Stella before Deborah gave her a haircut. She wanted to smell nice for our upcoming company.

Google said, "hey you smell different!"

John loves Stella!

Stella was on Jeopardy tonight. She kept looking at the TV every time she heard her name.

Google loves John's Aerobed!

Pup Ice Cream & TV with Barbara

Google & Stella LOVE having Ben & Jerry's ice cream with Barbara!

 I guess they also like watching TV with her.

April Backyard Wildlife

Lots of wildlife in our backyard lately. I don't care for the Canada geese because they make a HUGE MESS!!! ... but the goslings are so cute!

Lots of birds enjoy the feeders next door. A Red-bellied Woodpecker & Downy Woodpecker take turns.

A Common Grackle chowing down.

 

A Downy Woodpecker was hanging out on our neighbor's bird feeder while another bird swooped in. The swooper may be a Northern Cardinal but I'm not positive.

Google the Cocker Pug ...

... & Stella the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier were also among the wildlife enjoying the backyard today.

Lunch with Lisa

 Lisa & I went to Taco Lu for lunch. Yum!

Stella & Google wanted to do puzzles with her when we got back.

Since Lisa was wearing the Wheaten shirt I got her, I put mine on for a photo op when we got back to my house.

Cleaning Coach

Today, Stella coached Google on what to do when the cleaning ladies come over ... stay on the couch all day, & switch couches based on which room is being cleaned. No paws on wet floors. They both did great!

Lazy Day

I'm not sure why both Stella ...

... & Google are so exhausted!

 Stella & Barbara enjoying the afternoon shade.

Hanging Out with Barbara

Stella & Google love when Barbara sits in the backyard with them.

I had to shoot my Chipotle container when I saw the light reflecting on the logo.

House Shopping with Barbara

Barbara's planning to move to Jacksonville. No more brutal upstate NY winters! This house had a new kitchen, new bathrooms & a really big backyard.

Baking Birthday Boy Treats

Today is Google's birthday. Mary is in Arizona for work, so Barbara & I made some fresh treats for the birthday boy & Stella.
