Sunday Fun and Frolics

January 30, 2011 by Jeanne

A 50 degree day in January!

After a wonderful church service (thank you Father Mack!) and some catching up with friends, I came home to find my goofball German Shepherd outside with John fixing bare patches in the lawn.  She actually allowed me to snap some pictures of her today.  We ended up going on a nice, long 3 miles walk together as a family, then home to homemade dog treats for Shadow.  She mugged for the camera in a rare mood of picture-taking, so at last, here are photos of my best gal and friend. We decided that Shadow’s theme song is “Take a Chance on Me” by ABBA; we took a chance on this sad sack at the dog pound, and never regretted a moment.  Enjoy a few photos and Happy Sunday!

    Glad you had a warm day to enjoy in
    January. We were warm Thu, Fri and Sat. We did gardening yesterday. Today it is too cold again. Snow in our near future. We want it for the moisture.
