A good weekend

Jilda has been working on Christmas cards for weeks.  Earlier in the week, I mailed off the international cards. Today, I mailed off a bushel to friends and family that live here in the U.S.

I also mailed off our quarterly taxes. That wasn't as much fun.

Once home, we shoe'd up and walked the dogs. I know you're probably tired of reading about Kodak, but I didn't have a picture of me with him yet so Jilda shot one. It took a minute. He wanted to play and I kept talking while she was trying to shoot the picture. The final shot was a compromise. He looked good and I looked goofy. I also looked like a load in my cold-weather walking clothes.

This afternoon, we began decorating inside the house. My job involves carting the heavy boxes with all the stuff up from the barn. I then keep myself and the dogs out of the way.

She got most of it up today. We will finish up tomorrow. I'll shoot a picture of that.

It's been a good weekend.

  3. Kodak is the right addition at the right time, to your dog family.
    Why did you name him Kodak, or did you say so but I missed class that day?
    You know I expect an answer!
    And while I'm on the topic of dogs, I'm having a late in the day coffee at a nearby hotel which offers accommodation to guests AND their dogs. It's quite new and swish and while I type this a big sandy coloured dog is snoozing on the garden bed whilst its owner is glued to her phone...

    1. Stay with me - Jilda though he favored a Kodiak bear. We morphed the name into Kodak.

    2. Got it! And thanks. Funny about that... I kept reading it as Kodiak (maybe that's because I read a Kodiak blog each day) and your pup does have the colouring and markings of a Kodiak bear. But happily, NOT a bear's temperament.

  6. I find it hard to believe someone would let that dog go! Yep the dude has won the lottery. I am sure word is passed in the animal kingdom about Rick and Jilda's 'heaven for dogs'.
