I was printing out some pictures for my grandma, who is very sick right now, and I wanted to show her how I made my Photoshop scrapbook layouts; so I did one for her. I think it turned out pretty cute.

...I make this look good!
Ha ha! I love this dog. And Aislinn loves him even more. He is her living, breathing, oh so patient dress-up doll.
He has also been her test subject for a very scientific experiment: "Do Dogs like Cold Water or Room Temperature Water?"
Conclusion: "Dogs don't care what temperature their water is."
This dog, like probably every dog, is a great companion. He is definitely a lover and not a fighter. In fact, when we wrestle as a family, this dog will physically insert his body between the combatants.He loves his people, especially the kids.
Maybe almost as much as chasing his ball.
He's pretty awesome.
...about how sick I am of rain.
Hi friends,
So, it is well into June and I must say that this has been the dreariest, wettest, most depressing beginning of Summer I have ever experienced. The sun has been very scarce here in Vancouver and is really starting to affect my mood. I need the sun! First of all, I need to start running again and unfortunately, I will use every excuse to get out of doing that. Well...pouring rain is a great excuse. Second, my backyard has a drainage problem (think mud bog) and as a result of all this rain, I can't mow the jungle back there. The weeds are so tall in my back yard that I think Mackendra would get lost if she ventured out there. Seriously, she would just disappear and 7 years from now she would crawl out of that jungle and be all feral-like. As a good parent I have forbidden my children from playing in the backyard. But that just depresses me even more. When you can't kick your kids out of the house for several hours just to regain your sanity every once in awhile, one could just sit down on the floor and cry. Third, I am, right now at this very moment, wearing a pair of black sweat pants and a navy blue sweat shirt. Dreary! On June 10th I should be decked out in a sundress with cute little sandals. It really isn't fair! I even gave myself a pedicure the other day to see if that would influence Mother Nature to take pity on us and send us some sun...no luck. She just pissed on me.
So, without much choice, I am going to sit in my black clothes, in my dark room and dream about sunshine and cute sandals.
See ya
